Well, started the "Happiest" thread... so let me think of some angry songs.

1. Irresistable Bitch

Prince kinda goes off on some serious-ass resentment. Being only 5'7 myself, I kind could understand that line... "And this is for why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall!" LOL (I'm okay on the handsome part, but my brother is 5'11, so I've gotten some good strokes in as a result of that angst too! LOL)

2. Computer Blue

"Somebody please please tell me what is wrong with me" lol

3. Bob George

Prince blows away some cops, and treats his woman like shit in this classic lol

"I got a gun. You think I don't? Then what's this? Oh, you quiet now... you quiet now!" LOL


Okay... and your 3 angriest?

Um "Count the Days" by far!

I suspect he was inspired by watching a series of Quentin Tarantino movies.

So angry and yet sooooo sweet at the same time. One of my favorite songs. We could speculate for hours what this song is really about.

I HATE YOU

Honestly I believe that anger exists and rightfully so in the song, "Race."
Racism is angersome because it is so ignorant, however, Prince expresses that anger so creatively in the song, we can also see, how making a point in music, shapes the world 4 the better, and as that spirit moves and quickens hearts to that equality...The anger subsides.

Anger as in terms of sheer anger

Papa, Bob George, I hate U, Had U, The Beautiful Ones, Irresistable Bitch, Why u wanna treat me so bad, Jughead

Anger as in Frustration in general

Money Don't matter 2nite, Dear Mr Man, Live 4 Love, Sacrifice of Victor,

Oooops!! Yeah, you're right! That's what I meant to write... Lady Cab Driver!

"... and this is for... this is for... where you have to live!"

I remember listening to that song at about age 13 thinking... What the jeebies is wrong with this guy? She must live in a really terrible neiborhood" LOL

Had you

Eye Hate U put some purple fear in me.

Gosh, if I EVER EVER dated Prince, I'd probably be the quietest girlfriend he ever had. Y'all ever hear the extended mix of that song. The whole "I woulda knocked you off" part just curled my hair till I looked like Shirley Temple over here!

Thanks for pointing that out, I just listened to the extended version again. It is scarey. The whole song is full of hate (obvously from the title) BUT the music is so beautiful and his voice is lovely, it would have been much better if the song was called I Love You and he changed the lyrics, the song is a bit disturbing, wonder who the unfortunate girl was who pissed him off big time.

Hello

No doubt about it. He's done some angry stuff, sometimes as a posture so most of it I just think of as a creative tactic rather than real emotion. But he does have fury which all great rockers must. My choice would go to Avalanche because the rage is not a put on. All the hatred, all the self-loathing, the self-denial, the catering to white audiences, the crossover compromises seems to come out in his voice and in his chords. Gives me chills and since it isn't that old of a song, proves to me that our man is not dead yet.
