Crimson and Clover is Prince's best song since anything on the Gold Experience album?

I would. Seriously, this song is absolutely fantastic.

It's very much how he covered Creep if you ask me. I'm not sure if that's stating the obvious or not. It is a very good cover though.

I can see Crimson being played by Radcliffe and Maconie on their evening Radio 2 slot and Colonised Mind being the general radio release. If the latter is it'll possibly be played to death. Which I nearly have.

pity its a cover :/

Joan Jett did a better cover imo.

She done the best up until now...Prince version ...kills it...when or if its released this year which I hope for...and you get to play it on CD instead of a crapy mp3 sound on your PC ...everyone will rock to this track for sure...

God, you're touchy this week!



"Baby I think I love you"

Which song is it from, I'm not too familiar with Hendrix stuff? But I thought this was from Wild Thing? Except Prince sings, 'baby', instead of 'wild thing'.

TheEnglishGent said:

It's Hendrix doing Wild Thing's dog's cousin twice removed neighbour across the street thought she'd heard her daughter's hamster squeaking to XFactorOnIceCelebrityJungle bush-tucker-trial.

Hee, without realising it I wrote that Hendrix is doing a dog.

Right, I really must stop talking shit, being childish and most importantly getting involved in political and religious/spiritual topics. But what will I write about!? I guess I could always start posting pictures of Prince. Have we had a "Prince Wearing Burnt Orange" thread yet?

I love 4ever the most :yes:

I wasnt responding to you please leave me be ty

No, I wouldn't agree. In fact, I don't think it's even the best of his recently previewed stuff. That would be Colonized Mind.

Genesia said:

I like it but, like you, think Colonised Mind is the better of the recent releases.

In a word.....no.

No I don't. There's been plenty of good and great songs since 1995 from Prince but hey, it is what it is. I've dug all of the new stuff I've heard and I can't wait to hear the rest.

purplesweat said:

Wild Thing is not a Hendrix song. It was written by Chip Taylor, originated by The Wild Ones in 1965, covered in its most memorable version by The Troggs in 1966, and then covered by Hendrix in 1967.

Genesia said:

K, well every review of C&C I read said that it was a Hendrix line so

toots said:

You have to be kidding right?? - joan jett made that song more annoying than the original!

toots said:

To me its a TIE. Ms. Jett rocks the shit out of that song and Princey shits the rock out of that song. Luv em both.

Um no... and as I said above.... "You have your opinion I have mine"

Graycap23 said:

Exactly

purplesweat said:

Its a dope remake but to say its his best song means you dont dig his original stuff as much. No, i dont think its his best song cause it aint his, but mos def the best cover he eva done! That guitar is FIRE.
