Most Recognized Song? Which song do you think Prince is most recognized for:
When Doves Cry Purple Rain Lets Go Crazy Little Red Crovette Raspberry Beret 1999 I say Purple Rain. This has become Prince's signature song. Prince believes he is a musical prophet that has been chosen by Jehova to guide his fans to the "truth". | |

I'd add 'Kiss' to that list, and possibly 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World'. For the UK, anyway. | |

OMG, I forgot about Kiss. Prince believes he is a musical prophet that has been chosen by Jehova to guide his fans to the "truth". | |

Purple Rain. Everybody knows Purple Rain is Prince. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

PR or WDC.
It's kind of weird, people always refer to PR, but then start singing WDC. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Purple rain, he once called it an albatross around his neck. 
The word albatross is sometimes used to mean an encumbrance, or a wearisome burden. [Edited 4/13/09 13:19pm] | |

unfortunately PR 
I cant stand when i mention prince and people say "Ah PR, that is a great song" it is f.....sad. I am very surprised P still plays it today and especially that he is capable of putting emotion into it, but he does, some of the versions he played of it at the O2 where unreal, where I actually liked the song again. If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

The song most associated with Prince is Purple Rain.
But is it his most recognized song? I doubt it gets played on the radio anymore. I wonder if young people continue to learn it. Kiss still gets played, though, and I Wanna Be Your Lover & 1999. My Legacy

No doubt in my mind, its Purple Rain. Even if people have never heard the song, they know there is such a song because there was a movie with the same name. It's difficult to have an intelligent conversation with people about him because that song is all they know about him. 75% don't even know he's still around making music. 
Being a major supporter is such a pain when everyone's so IGNORANT  had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |
