Not just outtakes but also album tracks that weren't released as singles or performed on tv or such or songs written for others that didn't get alot of exposure..

Personally, I think that Open Book,given the right exposure, would have been very well recieved.Also, Taja Seville's first album,I feel should have been promoted better.

Others?

Venus De Milo
Sometimes it Snows in April
If I was Your Girlfriend
Adore
When You Were Mine
I Wish U Heaven


too many

But what does make me chuckle is teh numebr of people who hate Prince but love his songs without relaising it.

In what must have been a totally freak occurence one local DJ, who totally hates Prince and is outspoken about it played 3 of his track back to back without relaising it (by other artists of course).

I Would Die 4 U (cant remember who by)
Nothing Compares 2 U (Sinead)
If I was your Girlfriend (TLC)
and a cover of Adore

Great choices and true statements!

2 many 2 list here!

Love U In Me

Unfortunately, some people would be turned off by that title alone.

True-that's also adds to it's greatness. It's a beautiful, sexy song .

nurse said:

I've always liked it.

I'm looking into your big, brown eyes .

nurse said:

Can we talk about this without getting the subject yanked from the Org?

If you've heard 'Studio Nights' or 'The Music Box,' you have heard the best unreleased songs.

I just recently heard Make It Thru the Storm and a few others from the early days that I had never heard before. Lots of good stuff has never been official released but a good amount of released classics like the ones mentioned and more really would be well recieved by the non fan public.

nurse said:

I love that son but my ex-bestfriend has tainted it for me.

He is totally, 100% convinced that the "...it's like surgery" line means that sex together is painful.

He just wont except that it doenst mean that at all

I thought of another one--

4 the Tears in Your Eyes

Wasted Kisses but the great thing about these songs is that the general public doesn't deserve to hear them.
