"Classics" that you never really got into?

Name the songs, that are staples in concert, songs that everyone loves, but you don't especially care for?

Mine list would include:

'Purple Rain" (although the guitar in almost always great in concert)
and
"Litte Red Corvette" (although I do dig the extended version)

Y'alll?

I've only heard it 4 times... but it just sounds like he's trying too hard... when he really doesn't need 2... a lot of the tracks on the prince strike me as really good
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

Cream, Get Off. I used to like them but don't really care for them or ever listen to them today.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

I'm into the D&P album right now, so I've been hearing a bit of it lately. I agree. I was into it at the beginning, but there are just so many other songs that are better.

And I hated Gett Off when I saw the video for it (and heard it the first time)... but it grew on me... and now I just have a lot of fun with it whenever I listen 2 it.

I almost always skip over "Purple Rain" the song, when I listen to the soundtrack however I like it live. I think I would feel kind of ripped off if Prince didn't perform it. Maybe not enough to say "you better give me back my $100", but enough to bitch about it.

finally, somebody commented on my choice.

It just sounds very "un-Prince-like" 2 me. And a little 2 "Bohemian Rhapsody"-esque... just all wrong 4 me.

any prince fan in this thread?
ok, thieves in the temple never really grew on me.
but adore, purple rain, raspberry beret, cream, when doves cry, little red corvette, gold...please, it's just non-sense, these songs are purely prince awesomeness. And I would say I love 3 chains of gold too...
