It's Psychedelic pop. The car horns is funny, get it? Horn section? you know....like.....horns....nevermind.

..And also the reference to walking on your side of the street, cars drive in the street. See it yet?

I cringe at Theres never been another like me, especially the WHOOOO! part.
When I went to the wrecka stow to purchase 3121 Love was playing, I found that somewhat cringeworthy too.
I remember grimacing at Live 4 Love when I first played Diamonds and Pearls, (worse than Daddy Pop) and We March from The Gold Experience.
Oh and 200 Baloons is about my least favourite Prince song of all.

What are your picks?

funny, i like all those songs.

Let me begin by saying that I love Love, Daddy Pop and We March. I don't care for songs like Tambourine, Solo, Da Da Da and Animal Kingdom. Prince most of the time makes amazing songs, and occasionally makes terrible songs. Makes one question his judgment, doesn't it? But as long as the good songs are more common than the bad, which they are, I'm a happy camper! smile

Good question!

Discounting the some quarter-decent shit every now and then, I firmly believe Prince's music gets worse and worse. You can trace his most embarrassing songs lineally. Hence, I think the topper at the moment is "crimson and clover." Its just so bad, soo soo bad on every level. Trying to do Jimi? HAHA. Prince is okay doing Prince when he was doing Prince (so long ago can anyone remember? thank god for eight-track tapes eh?).


A soul mate wink Yeah, Crimson & Clover is not a good song, it has a good core but that's all it's got, a core, then the core is repeated to boredom. That shows a lack of judgement.

There's a thing to be said about shorter albums, and that includes all artists. In the 80s it was enough to put out an album with 8 or 10 songs, nowadays most albums contain 12 or 15 songs. It just doesn't seem fair. I get it, it's hard to do a whole album with wonderful songs, so let's bring back the Purple Rain 9 song standard! biggrin

I interpret that as a bad song list, interesting, because I love Jam Of The Year, Get Yo Groove On and We March.

I'm shocked at some calling "Cream" as embarrassing! confused

To me "Batdance" & "My Name Is Prince" come to mind...


BATDANCE is just simple fun, and appropriate to the Bat-phenomenon which went nuts in the Summer of 1989. MY NAME IS PRINCE is silly, but I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously.

CREAM, on the other hand, has some lazy lyrics (not half as lazy as DIAMONDS AND PEARLS goddawful verse, "would you be a happy boy or a girl..." I mean, just how predictable can you get in finding a rhyme for "pearls?" The words really don't even make sense...he's talking to a specific person, but can't determine their sex!) and once again, rips-off SHAKE's instrumentals so much that it's almost shocking.

You know, I find it interesting that these types of threads always morph into "what songs do you think suck" from whatever they began as.

Most Embarrasing Prince Song....

Wedding Feast

I wouldn't play that shit for anyone...turns into fuckin' munckinland towards the end. What kind of crap is that?!?!!!

And Right the Wrong
the message is good, the delivery is embarrasing. Country Prince?!?!! Fuck no! Embarrasing shit at it's finest.

That's embarrasing!! Now there are songs I dislike, but straight embarrasing?!?!! Yeah, Wedding Feast and Right the Wrong takes the cake for me.

Right the Wrong is a damn good song in my opinion.

"Wedding Feast," is a part of the story...Look at the album like a Play...and maybe U will understand why it is there. cool

depends... there are ones that make me cringe when i'm listening to them on my own just because I think they're terrible ("Freaks On This Side," "Undisputed," etc.)

and then there the ones that i actually like a lot, but will cringe if i'm playing them around someone who isn't a fan or intimately familiar with them. (the screeching in "God," the end of "Temptation," "Good Love," etc.)

lol


so true

My wife has turned off The Beautiful Ones on a couple of occasions due to the excessive screaming at the end. Some people eh?


The end of The Beautiful Ones imo, is a passionate crescendo and completes the song perfectly - one of my all-time faves!




I know what this person is saying my mom used to make me turn it down or off when she would hear prince scream. me personally I loved when he'd scream

Pussy Control, the amount of swearing and crude rap imagery makes Prince sound like too much of a try hard. Solo is also cringe worthy, and some of the topic matter on The Rainbow children makes me ashamed 2 b a fan at times.

I actually thought Push was quite good, it has a positive vibe and Prince and Rosies raps are fine "Prince get on the mic, You don't want me on the mic, Prince! , nah man u don't want me on the mic, Prince! - yeeeaahhh! yeah! yeah! ITs THUNDER when eye'm on da mike, DADDY POP's in da house and you sure don't like it, DIAMOND sure don't like them PEARLS, I'm good 2 CREAM every boy and girl, I'm STROLLIN, steady hip hop and rock n rolling, WILLING and ABLE, HORNYPONY and I'm pumpin em, I'm pump pump pump pumpin em from Pakistan to Poland, straight into your town, stealin up kiddies like a circus clown, ya haha ha , sounds like Michael Jackson on speed but its clever.




P Control I love
Solo mos def cringe worthy
Rainbow Children was da shit
PUSH I love

different strokes different folks
