Wow. Kiss and Purple Rain aren't gettin' much love. I do understand that Purple Rain has probably over-saturated Prince's fan-base. It's one of the only songs that he plays at almost every mainstream concert. I had to detox from it for a while, but it grew on me again.

Kiss on the other hand... I love the studio versions, but haven't heard a good live rendition.
No, I hated it from the beginning.

Glam Slam- No thank you ma'am... I just ate

Free- My least favorite Prince screaming sequence ever! Especially after he sounded like he was straining his voice. disbelief

Hot Thing- Hot mess

Purple Rain- I'd rather have Beautiful Ones honestly. I do admit to drinking a dose of the purple stuff when I hear it live though.
Shake....shake, shake, shake.

What's funny is, since I love most of 1999, I really tried to like it. Still trying to get to a Prince album that I can listen to straight through without skipping. That's my purple banana... shrug

Purple Rain is tedious.
Chelsea Rogers is interesting for about 30 seconds.
Thieves in the Temple... I can do without that one, too.

I also dislike "Fury". I'd heard that his 3121 singles were almost as good as his '80s work but I was unimpressed when I heard it.

"Lolita"
"Fury"
"Somebody's Somebody"
"Partyman"

Diamonds And Pearls and The most beautiful girl in the world.

You said popular songs. Alot of songs you've listed are not even close to popular. The Everlasting Now, Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance,
Get On the Boat, The Greatest Romance Ever Sold, Life 'O' the Party? Since when did these songs become popular and who has praised them?

Taking a que from the thread "Unpopular" Prince songs that you love re: http://prince.org/msg/7/307317, I thought I'd start one up using the flip-side of the question. This isn't meant to be a negative thread, just another peek at the org's diverse tastes.


Songs that I don't dig, but seem to gather heaps of praise:

Shhh - That's what I say.
Cream - Creamed corn.
The Everlasting Now - The everlasting no.
Thieves In The Temple - I wish someone stole the master tapes.
Come - Limp.
Damn U - No. Damn U.
Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance - Yuck, yuck, yuck & yuck.
Cinnamon Girl - Flavorless rock.
Diamonds And Pearls - Ruined my favorite Sigue Sigue Sputnik riff.
The Greatest Romance Ever Sold - I ain't sold.
Eye Hate U - No. Eye Hate U, song.
Life 'O' the Party - Dead on arrival.
Get On the Boat - Send this to Davy Jones' locker.


What are the songs that you scratch your head about when folks mention them as favorites?

Agree on these:
Cream- Generic "hit"
Thieves In The Temple - Who wrote these corny lyrics
Come - The sloppy oral sex is so literal and uncreative but musically I dig it.
Diamonds And Pearls - Prince's I Just Called To Say I Love You
Life 'O' the Party - Retro in a bad way but this song really does not fit the definition of the list because no one likes it.

Add:
Ronnie Talk To Russia- Not bad musically but so politically naive/stupid
Free- Prince Does Jingoism
Betcha By Golly Wow/Crimson and Clover- No more covers please!

The song Musicology eventually grew on me, though the album is mostly a snoozefest.

Re: Hello - I like that Prince used a song to tell the paparazzi/We Are The World stories, but the music does nothing for me. A rare '80s b-side dislike. There are only two other b-sides from the 1980s that I don't dig:

Shockadelica - Camille, shlameel.

and

Scarlet Pussy - Ain't no lotion gonna fix that.



No! The Camille ones are great!

Hm. Most of the people here seem to like a lot of Lovesexy and Diamonds and Pearls, neither of which I'm particularly fond of.

And I like Cream. sad

and I kinda like Chelsea Rodgers. The lyrics suck, but that bassline is despicable!
