I wish Prince had had more faith in the song and released it.

The first song that came to mind was "Savior" form Emancipation. However, then I thought about it. I really think that much of his post-WB output is underrated. I know there are people here who like to rag on the newer material, but Prince has recorded some really good stuff in the last 15 years. There are certainly some new classics in the bunch that have not gotten the love the deserve.
perfection is a fallacy of the imagination...

TEMPTATION from ARound The WORLD In A DAY.....NOBODY ever mentions it ever and it's an AWESOME song that really reminds me of a song that could be in PURPLE RAIN and DANCE ON from LOVESEXY which is OVERLOOKED also. And finally EYE KNOW...also from LOVESEXY...how about the WHOLE LOVESEXY album which is WONDERFUL!


I totally agree with U! LOVESEXY is the one.

Around the World in a Day

Crucial - not really "underrated" but really not rated at all, as I don't see it discussed that much. I just think it's a superior cut.

Take Me With You - okay, I now there are a lot of detractors, but I've always been a sucker for this song. A great, simple pop song with some interesting flourishes.

The Morning Papers - great midtempo blues/rock song.

Private Joy

Man O' War - really underrated in my opinion, criminally neglected since the album wasn't that "big".

Somebody's Somebody - a lot of cuts on Emancipation are underrated because the album is underrated and people like to bitch about how bloated it is and how it should have been cut down. Maybe, but there are still great songs there.

White Mansion - an super simple song from a musical standpoint, but still great.

Don't Play Me cool

Don't play me
I'm over 30 and I don't smoke weed
I put my ass away and the music I play
Ain't the type of stereo U're tryin' 2 feed
Don't play me

Don't play me
I use proper English and I'm straight
I'm in the news again 4 payin' dues my friend
I'm not the ganda U prop in my way
Don't play me

Cuz I've been 2 the mountain top and it ain't what U say
Don't play me

Don't play me
I'm the wrong color and I play guitar
My only competition is?well, me in the past
And time and time, if time existed, movin' ever so fast
Don't play me

U couldn't play enough of me now 2 make me feel like a star
Don't play me, I already do in my car
Don't play me

Don't be mad at me, the curtain puller in the game
Maybe all, how U call us, n****s ain't the same
It's all good when U know the only fame
Is the light that comes from God and the joy U get 2 say His name
Don't play me (Don't play me)

I've seen the mountain top and it ain't what U say
Don't play me

I already got laid

A beautiful song but ... can that be credited to him?
I'd leave that 94 East thing alone.

Watch this...Mr. Goodnight.

There. I said it. I love this damn song. So...suckit! Yeah! I seem to be the *only* person on this board that does. It's crazy to me.

c'mon PK... I read you a lot... like what you have to say but can't but notice some of these songs on this list.

In another thread you say Prince sounds ridiculous when he tries to be hip. How about he sounds ridiculous when hes not trying to be hip?

Dolphins

Welcome to the Dawn

Right the Wrong

Gold (perhaps the corniest song ever written by Prince ...and many of them still good)

New World

I know to each his own... its just I have seen you make comments about some of Prince's music being cringe worthy particularly some of the dance records and found your list of under rated songs curious given some of your previous comments
Dance... Let me see you dance
