I hate it, too. I've just kept from commenting other times. I figured since I openly admitted I hate "Little Red Corvette", why not go for broke?

*deep breath*

Graffiti Bridge wasn't a completely awful flick.

1999, as an album, is comprised of half great / half weak material.

Adore is totally limp, one of his weaker ballads.

Love to the 9's is one of his very best songs of the '90s.

Mountains isn't all that.

SST is his best song of the decade... So far.

Slow Love is a great song.
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

prince is an abusive prick.

He is selfish, arrogant and belittles women.

lovesxy, parade, sign of the times, dirty mind and 1999 all sound shit(good music though).

JW has made Prince even worse; IT HAS NOT HELPED HIM BE KINDER!

I would smack him if i saw him; he deserves to be beaten badly for all the abuse he has given women.

SO TRUE!!!



Really??? I can't believe that anyone would consider that fiasco a legitimate album, nonetheless a GOOD one. That was Prince at his worst. It was an album born of and produced with anger, hatred and just bad, lazy musicianship.

If I'm not mistaken, that was the last record he made under his WB contract, and thats exactly how it came across....he just threw some shit together and released it....as a P fan, I literally forced myself to listen to it on numerous occasions and I just couldn't do it.....

...I've responded on several of the "what does P owe u?" threads that if I ever felt he owed me anything, it was the ten bones I plunked down to possess that piece of shit....oh, and a new tire for my car that was punctured when I tried to roll over it.... lol

Well if we add your twocents and my twocents we'd have more than what that album was worth!! I know his reason for releasing it and his meaning (if any) behind it, but for people to actually like that rubbish??? I feel sorry for anyone that actually paid more than four cents for that album.

I feel for you. I took one look at that cover and placed it right back on the rack. You should sue! razz This would be the time to hit him...he's got that whole NPGMC leagl issue and now the divorce to contend with. You might have a chance of getting your $$ back if you act right now... lol

Yeah, I'm probably frontin'

Maybe the only reason I really didn't buy that album was cuz I was broke. The lack of money always heightens my sense of priority. lol

That's the gist of my main unpopular opinion. I believe that eventhough Prince may have, in the past or in the present, written at least one song a day, it doesn't mean they were GOOD songs.

I'm firmly planted in denial

Some of mine go along with what others have mentioned. And, remember this is just a friendly internet thread, so no need for anyone to get hurt, right? lol

Adore may be the single most overrated song in Prince's catalogue.

SOTT (the album) is also very overrated among fans and as far as I'm concerned, would have been better as one LP/disc.

The Revolution was not Prince's best band (that would be the Lovesexy Band yes)

Prince does not look sexy with a typhoon hairdo. disbelief

Mayte, her dancing, and her booty were not ALL THAT and the music he created when she was his "muse" is some of his weakest.

Musicology is a thoroughly mediocre album.


Please don't hurt me...
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

* The Rainbow Children is the second most overrated piece of mediocre, slightly boring work that Prince has ever released.
* Purple Rain is the first.
* Prince looks way better now than he did in the 80s and a good part of the 90s
* Lemon Crush is one of Prince's most unique songs
* Purple Rain (the song) is HORRIBLE and is only popular because it's tame and boring and that's what people like - a complete sellout for Prince back then
* 3121 is Prince's best album ever
* 3121 (the song) is boring and sounds way better live

Parade is his best album by far, nothing comes close.

I don't mind the whole name change/symbol era.

His jazzy-stuff is underrated.

The 1999 album is overrated, funky as it is, it isn't diverse so it's not up there with Parade, Lovesexy, SOTT and The Rainbow Children.

The 1999 song is his worst song ever.

New Power Soul isn't that bad as people say it is.

Rave un2 The Year 2000 was a great concert.

For You and Prince are crap.

I think it's a shame Prince and Michael Jackson never worked together.

The Most Beautiful Girl is a beautiful balad, great melody.

Prince is not a bad rapper.

I think that....

P has gone too R&B over the past 5 years.

....he should explore more rock leanings on his next album.

..... he fucked up the promotion for 3121

.... Larry G is not as bad as people say

....Tamar is overrated

....Rainbow Children, Symbol, (and to a lesser extent)Chaos & Disorder are the best work of his in the last 15 years

...P was better when he had a bone to pick with the music industry

...Is trying to hard to be mainstream

...is the greatest musician I have seen in my 29 years on earth. :0

Wow, aren't these just random? I have a few

C&D is not as bad as people say it is, some tracks are worth hearing twice

Musicology is way better than 3121.

I like Arms Of Orion

Except for cream, thunder, and the title track, diamonds and pearls isnt all that great

The Symbol album is way underrated. "Morning Papers" is one of prince's best

Prince should've released emancipation as one disc. It could've been princes best album and put him in a totally different spot than he is in now as a musician

And more than half of the replies on this topic are just crazy. Purple rain is horrible? Pshh.... Pussy control is the worst track on Gold? Have you heard Dolphin?

And you can fit SOTT on one disc, I think I took about 20 seconds out of adore to fit it

I can undersatnd why people think Lovesexy was overated. Not all the music on the album is good. But I think the overall message, the vibe and the tour were GREAT.

Unpopular opinions? How about these:

The song Purple Rain should be stricken from his repertoire. It represents the lower end of his work.



Kirky J should be brought back and featured on his next album. The guy's amazing!!

It's a good thing that Jughead replaced Horny Pony on D&P 'cause that song has got to be one of the highlights of Prince's output.

I wish Prince would stop trying to play the guitar. He sucks big time and couldn't hold a candle to that dead dude from Nirvana.

I'm glad Prince doesn't release all of the outtakes and concert footage fans want. He should place all his energies into suing Thunderball and those other labels. In fact, he should force them to release their customer lists so he can sue everyone who's ever bought something from them.

Hopefully there won't be any more new albums from Prince for a couple years. There's already waaaaay too much of his stuff out there. No one could possibly listen to it all. We need time to catch up.




Gold was a shitty album. Hmm dont Agree but thats Ur Choice its one My Favorites but i love a Lot of his Music Music is very Inspiring tome when i write Lota things are. Song i never cared for was If i was ur Girlfriend There i said it sad

I think Satisfied and On The Couch are great songs.

I really like Tamar (although it helps that I saw her live).

I think Prince's guitar tone is better now than it was in the 80s.

Loved Satisfied Hated on the Couch was Boring to me sorry and the Tune was veyr Depressing to but if u Liked it thats Coo smile
