most of the listed songs here are not unpopular

"let it go" is rather tiresome though
small circles, big wheels!
I've got a pretty firm grip on the obvious!

Mountains????? I don't want to criticize anybody's choices, but Mountains????. Immensely popular among the hard-core fans, and actually was a charting single which shows one-time popularity among even casual fans.

How in the hay-yell are these songs not popular? They're some of the most popular tracks in Prince fandom!! Unless you mean amongst the general population, of course, but I thought this list was just for us die-hards.

Sparklehorse

Good thread. I'm glad to see so much love for Letitgo, one of my all time favorite vocal lines.

I'm also delighted that so many like the Batman tracks. To me, the best song from that album (as well as one of my top ten Prince songs) is Electric Chair. I think the tone on his guitar and and bass are AMAZING! The lyrics are great, and when he screams, "If you don't really love me!!" I just get cold chills.

The song Chaos and Disorder is also a great track when you listen to it in the context of the stuff from TGE and The Dawn project.

Cloreen Baconskin is a ridiculous song ... but it does make me laugh every time. Morris's beat is also sick!

I used to hate the song, Something in the Water, but it was just this year that I was listening to it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dead on it has a great beat, and is a hilarious satire of rap.

The Undertaker version of Bambi is mad hot.

Lastly, The Marrying Kind/If Eye Was ... is my favorite part of the album Musicology.

Okay, a last one, to fullfill a 'top 3':

All the midnights in the world.

Probably my favourite Prince-song of the 00's.

This song gets often labelled as whimsical, throwaway, cheesy. I can imagine people calling it that when they are judging it on face value, AND, when they aren't very familiar with the term 'perfect popsong'.

The charm and strength of this song is that it sounds very nonchalant on face value, the music sounds too 'light' and even the vocals sound like 'he is not really trying'.
But underneath that seemingly nonchalance lies a very well-composed popsong. It really is a 'skill' to write and compose such a song, I mean... ask Paul McCartney or Neil Finn (Crowded House) about their numerous attempts.
You might not like the execution, but compositionwise its powerfull. All the midnights could be covered by another band, and they could score a classic hit with it. Just as happened with The Bangles covering Manic Monday.

Fantastic thoughtful lyric as well.
