I've always loved his B-sides just as much as the Title track.
I have many favorites, but Gotta Stop Messin About is very quickly becoming one of my all time favorites! I love that Dirty Mind era anyway, but this song ROCKS!

I a lot of the B-sides. My favorites are 17 days,She's Always in my Hair, or $, Loveleft, Loveright, Erotic City, Feel U Up,and my absolute favorite B-side - Shockadelica!

Yeah
17 days is also one of my fav's of all time

He could really release a triple albulm of B-sides
it would sell very well!

17 days - my fave -this should of been released as a single/ not an B side!

My favorite ones are :

17 Days

Erotic City

She´s Always In My Hair

The others are great but these ones are not only album material, they also could´ve been big hits if they´d been released as album singles.

Some more good B-sides - Violet the Organ Grinder, God, Girl, 200 balloons, Escape, and Get Off.

plenty of great B-sides....(didn't we just do this a couple of weeks ago? ) My favorite will always be She's Always in my Hair, closely followed by 17 Days.

17 Days, close thread.

Irresistable Bitch, by far.

She's Always in My Hair will ALWAYS be the hotness...

But some songs that merit an honorable mention are:
Feel U Up (A close second place)
Horny Toad (A close third)
200 Balloons
Erotic City
Shockadelica
Alexa De Paris

Last night i spent another lonely christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s i dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 i care 4

Remember the time we swam naked
In your father's pool?
Boy he was upset that night
But boy was that ever cool

Remember the night we played pokeno 4 money
And u robbed me blind
Remember how u used 2 scream so loud
Cuz u hated that number 9

Hey, i saw your sister skating on the lake
This afternoon
Good heaven how she's grown
She swoons the boy skaters she's so tall

But of all your father's children
All your father's children, baby
U know, u are the finest of them all
U are brighter than the northern star

Last night i spent another lonely christmas
Darling, darling, u, u should've been there
U see, of all the 1s i dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 i care 4
Yeah

My momma used 2 say
Always trust your lover
Now i guess that only applies 2 her

Cuz baby u promised me
Baby u promised me u'd never leave
Then u died on the 25th day of december
Oh baby

Last night i spent another lonely, lonely christmas
Darling, baby, u, u should've been there
Cuz all the 1s i dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 i care 4
Yeah

Your father said it was pnemonia
Your mother said it was strep
But the doctor said u were dead
And i, i say its senseless

Every christmas night 4 7 years now
I drink banana daquaris 'til i'm blind
As long as i can hear u smilin' baby
U won't hear my tears
Another lonely christmas is mine
Yeah, mine
Yeah
Another lonely christmas is mine

Last night, yeah, i spent another lonely, lonely christmas
Darling, darling, u should've been there, yeah
Cuz all the 1's i dream about
U are the 1 that makes my love shout
U see, u are the only 1 i care 4

people have given me a few B-sides here and there, but I haven't gone through them all yet.

Those that I do have, I've only listened to once or twice, so I can't quite remember which ones I liked and didn't.

17 Days stood out for me just because it sounds like classic 80's Prince in every single way.

Erotic City, I've heard a few times. Sure the music's great and catchy... but I just think the lyrics are lacking... and if u don't mind me saying so, a little weak.

with God, I prefer the instrumental version... it says a lot more, I think.

Oh my God YES!!

The B-Sides have always been good. I can't name just one. I went nuts when I heard Irresistable Bitch. Gotta Stop Messing About has got to be the first B-side I'd heard.

"Been playing with my toy so much I'm going to go blind."

17 DAYS should be given some kinda of special award. That song is really really amazing and haunting. Thank God he didn't give it to Brenda/Vanity Six. Although I think she's the only one who could actually sing.
