Prince songs you just HAVE to lisetn to on headphones

I find most music sounds better on headphones. But there are some that just HAVE to listened to on headphones. Other wise, it like a whole 'nother* almost inferior song. Sometimes there are things that you can only pick up on headphones. Sometimes there are alot of musical elements going on that you can't notice on speakers. Unless it just a'blastin'

On another topic, Automatic was mentioned, mainly due to the spoken part in the middle.
I also wanna add Do Me, baby to that, almost for the same reason.
And Lady Cab driver There is ALOT going on in that song musically that is rather subdued.

So what would you add and why?

*I know nother is not a word lol

Brilliant Song love it.

Oh Yes!!! I love the extended of theives, and Lovesexy is my favourite album!!!!!


ATWIAD works so much better in phones - not just the title track - but the piano introduction to Condition of the Heart!!!!!

Listen to it!!!!! loud - through the phones - and then come back and tell me that the hairs on your body did not move and that you didn't straight away hit that track back for a second and even third play!!!!!


That's the one!!!!!


Oh, and any other one where he just SCREAMS in your ear!!!!! Those tooo!!!

All of them, headphones is the best way for me to listen to P's/any music, period.
It's just me & the music, no distraction.

As for the long version of Thieves in The Temple, I've been obsessively listening to it for the past two months, daily!.. I also think - although I am no dance pro - that his dancing in the video is one of the best in his career.
