I happen to like LRC, but I wouldn't call it essential Prince by a long shot. I say that this is an essential song, because this is the first song that the "average" Prince fan can recall. This was his first MTV video and it put him into the mainstream. Ol' schools like me remember all of the music that didnt get airplay before Corvette, and I'm not saying that you're not ol' school either, but Corvette really placed Prince on the mind of America, and you gotta include it in any Prince convo, IMO of course I know what you mean, but my point was that well-known doesn't really constitute essential, IMO. LRC may have helped put Prince on the map in the collective music-listening consciousness. But to me, an "essential" song would be something that, if you had to narrow down Prince's catalogue into a one CD length-primer that shows what "Prince" really is, I wouldn't include it.

That happened to me with "Dirty Mind" and "Tamborine". The Ballad of Dorothy Parker, for me.  "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I can drop 'Endorphinmachine' from my list, it's grown on me. Here's a very short list of songs that I plain can't get into no matter how hard I try... I'm actually sick of trying anymore.
My Name is Prince Alphabet St. ( )

Now I don't like rejecting Prince's music with the hard work he does on them, but I gotta draw a line somewhere. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |
