What do you consider to be Prince's most original song? First of all,I know that Prince adds his personal touch to all of his music.To the defensive,I'm not implying he's ripping anybody off.What I mean is what song (or songs) stand out that can't be compared to music by James,George,Jimi,Sly,Carlos,Joni or any other of Prince's most influential artists.Besides the artists aforementioned here,Prince's songs have also been compared to everybody from the Beatles (ATWIAD namely) to Queen (3 Chains of Gold).
The first one that comes to mind for me is When Doves Cry. | |

When Doves Cry...
and i disagree 1fro, IMHO, there aren't that many true original prince moments...IMHO, prince is at his best when he is borrowing other artist ideas and making them into his own. Space for sale... | |

Too many to name, but his most definitive and original song that tops the list IMHO is Sign O The Times. Lryically, it's one of his most introspective and focused... Check me out and add me on:

I know its a cliche but, When doves Cry, Because of the whole "It doesnt have a bass guitar" thing. That was Original.
I'd have to think of something else a lot longer if you meant for lyrical content... No matter the ©️, Paisley Park "official can never ™️  . He gave that to us verbally on Oprah in 1996. You can't take away from us, corporate. I mean O ( + > | |

When I Lay My Hands On You - Distorted guitar, almost doesn't sound like music. Great song though. Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

When Doves Cry
he mixes a funky beat with Heavy Metal riffs and classical synth at the same with no bassline, just pure genius And the best intro ever |
