Under-rated Prince songs..

Okay, which Prince songs do you think are under-rated?

Or which Prince songs did you not like to begin with but then for no apparent reason have grown on you?

One that springs to mind for me is Uptown. I think this is a hugely under-rated song.

For years I bypassed it and never really liked it. Now I love it!

I also feel this way about U Got The Look and Beautiful Night.

Hmm, your thoughts ladies and gentlemen...
Shut up already, damn.

I have not personally underrated any of Prince's songs. I believe that some people are unfamiliar with Prince music or haven't listened to the songs as many times as I have. Maybe some people aren't as good listeners as others.

Although I will mention that "Emale," has a multifaceted possibility with it. This song in particular to me is long lasting radio air-play that should've been released in 96'..However, for the radio I would shorten it a touch, and munipulate it a little for the lyrics that would go understood by the average person. cool

Yes but I really like Prince - but I do admit it took me a while to listen to some songs properly.

I hated Rave for ages but love it now!

Hold on...

People need to write about songs that they themselves under-rated on first listen, etc..

Or took a while to truly appreciate and then love...

I'm not talking about what you think 'other' people under rate!
