And then post your own top three songs for the next Orger to dissect.

For me;

1. The Question Of U
2. Controversy
3. West

1. The Question Of U amazing song. love the hand claps!
2. Controversy one of the best 80s songs. excellent lyrics
3. West dont like this one... it just kinda drags on



Computer Blue (long version)
When You Were Mine
Joy in Repetition

1) Computer Blue (ext'd) - Great song; usually the reason i put on PR; album version is actually better; the ext'd somewhat overrated

2) When You Were Mine - early 80s classic that doesn't get the credit it deserves IMO; due to the monster jams that followed later. Has held up well. Guitar break in the middle is killer, was the highlight during one of the shows i saw P. at.

3) Joy in Repetition - an example of a song that captures Prince's eccentric quirkiness AND unmatched musical genius ("stream of conscious" lyrical phrasing, background banter). Arugably the highlight of GB


mine (dag its hard to pick just 3; so AT THIS MOMENT here are mine)

1) Irresistible
2) Electric Chair
3) I Would Die For You (ext'd) & Mountains (tie)

1) Irresistible - This song is filler to me. Not in my favorites but not horrible.
2) Electric Chair - An ok song - somewhat uninspired feeling. The live performance on SNL gave it more life than Prince's live performance of Fury did for that song. Overall, I just don't get the Batman album.
3) I Would Die For You (ext'd) & Mountains (tie) - IWD4U is good. I love the live performances of it. Mountains is my all time favorite Prince single, and I love the extended version.


In no particular order:

1. God Created Woman
2. When Doves Cry
3. If I was Ur Girlfriend

1. God Created Woman. Prince at his most "meh".
2. When Doves Cry Prince at his best
3. If I was Ur Girlfriend Prince at his most repressed bisexual




1.)17 Days

2.)Queston of U

3.)Billy Jack Bitch

17 Days - An obscure classic!

Question of U - Listen to it on headphones, twice as good!

Billy Jack Bitch - Quite a horn hook there Prince

Mine:

1. Days of Wild
2. The Holy River
3. I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man

Days of Wild-Unchained funk beast!

The Holy River-Great song of redemption that captures the feel of the naration perfectly!

ICNTTPOYM-Classic pop/rock song,excellent guitar work,muture lyrics that may have surprised some at the time.
