1999. i mean, most fans are so tired of that song they never wanna hear it again, but it got so massively overplayed for a reason.

i hadn't listened to it for awhile and put it on earlier today
almost got some of the same feelings when i first loved the song
and really was grooving on the rhythm guitar part today
often overlooked because of its being overplayed, agreed

I don't think I can hear about Prince without them mentioning When Doves Cry or Kiss. I think it's between those two.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

Geez... Meaning it's "pop" friendly, thus, potentially making it "Prince's best pure pop song".

When U Were Mine maybe. All his pop songs have a little 'Prince' twist though, thats what makes his music what it is.

Kiss....Little Red Corvette are probably the most radio friendly. Some stations play one or two songs by Prince in a normal weekly rotation....It appears that if they play...When doves cry, they play 1999 as well..

I hear Kiss with Little Red Corvette...

An R&B station, will pull out something older, such as Soft and Wet, or I wanna be your Lover.

I still remember rockers making fun of Kiss when it came out. But when Cream came out it just went over like cream. I remember one friend of mine saying, I can tell this will be popular, it sounds good.

Of course Kiss did hit harder on the charts and is played more now, because it is more unique, but Cream is technically more conformist radio friendly. in my opinion

Yes, I was going to say that too. I remember when it came out, with the video from the SOTT movie - everyone loved it.
