Daddy Pop is shit.

Most of NPS is shit, though The One is decent.

Anything that has rap on it from the early nineties I cannot listen to, which means all the worst bits of D&Ps.

I hate Sexy MF, that's a crap, dated sounding song.

Much of Rave is crap too, though not all.

Strays Of The World is awful.

Much of Come is crap too, Dark excluded, which is excellent.

yes he even , dare I say, wrote several crappy songs...

I just heard on Entertainment Tonight that Eminiem has sold 30 million records and what do you call his crap?
God help us! Prince's music, even the bad songs are a blessing.

On the 3 cd box emancipation i find 1 !! really good song and that is dreamin'about u . And 2nd this +- 2 minutes instrumental piece the plan. Both on disc 2.
The rest is bonus but not my reason for being a princefan.
I know a lot of people will disagree with me ,i am sorry,not.

I could add more but this is enough crap on one release.

Prince has written tons of bad songs, most of them in the last 15 years.

Wrong forum! How could somebody without professional training be qualified to rate Prince's work? You cannot even prove your point! If you listed a song and explained to us clearly that for example the chord structure was very simple and the arrangement was poor then I might agree with you. But just calling a song bad because you "didn't like it" is no reason.

(I know some of you are gonna disagree but that's OK).

Yeah "bad song" is just relative, there isn't one song all people would call "bad", all just personal opinions. That said, taking it through to it's conclusion, technical concerns like dodgy use of chords, flat vocals etc don't automatically disqualify an overall product either...

Absolutely, you either like a song or you don't. Simple.

ice u kidding me, joint 2 joint and emale, u aint got no funk in yo blood, or soul what u like ice? barry manilow and hank williams come on those are 2 funky phat jams my man.

am i the only one that doesn't hate "COURTIN' TIME"?

IAM said:

No, i LOVE it!

For music to be considered 'good' it does not have to have a complexity quota - simplictity of chord structure or quality of arrangement would not religate a piece of music to the 'bad' pile. Having an ear is all one needs to critique music - there is no qualification as such to become a music critic. judgment of beauty is subjective. I have only recently returned to listening to Prince's music after Grafitti Bridge (which still really grates on my ears) put me off him for years.

shake it what u mama gave ya!

So what are you saying?
That I cannot say a song is good or bad because I don't know about chord structures?
Can I therefore not have an opinion on a novel due to my lack of knowledge of the craft of authorship?
Because I aren't exactly sure how a Film Director plies his trade - I can't say a film is bad
Because I've never played football for England I can't comment on Andy Cole
NONESENSE
"Look at me, I have an in depth knowledge of music, and you fucking morons dare to suggest things you know nothing about. How I hate the unwashed masses"
Is that what you thought prior to typing that drivel?

Of course you can say what YOU like or don't like, but you can't really judge what song by Prince is "good" or "bad", because these terms are universal. (=have nothing to do with personal opinion.)
In order to judge his work you'd have to know more about music than Prince himself.

Wasted Kisses is an excellent song!

DavidEye said:

Tamborine!!???!!! That shit is so damn funky. Can't even fuck with it.

Cloudbuster said:

I love it!

agotajonesmartha said:

Exactly how is this the "Wrong forum!"?

This is a Prince question and this is the Prince forum, so exactly how is this the wrong forum??? Please enlighten us with your accumen.

And...

You don't need to be a trained artist to know that you don't like a painting... the same can be said for music.

Plenty of bad songs.In fact half of the songs he puts out ,since '89,have been crap.

The entire Symbol album pretty much sucked except for Seven and The Morning Papers...

End.

Between 89 and 1998
