"Do Me Baby" It never really did much for me. it's just a bit too over the top. I like the edited version better (something I almost never say) sans all the screaming at the end.

"La La La, Hee, Hee, Hee" I hate the lyrics and the barking dog sounds.

"Moonbeam Levels" I actually just heard this one for the first time lately (and I've only heard it once) and was not impressed. Maybe I need to hear it more?

Take Me With U - Never understood why it was such a big ongoing concert staple. It's probably my least fav track on Purple Rain.

International Lover - It's DULL

Condition of The Heart - Meh

Purple Rain - It's just TOO damn long and overblown. Ultimate toilet break song in a concert - even if there's a long line you know you'll be back in your seat before the final guitar solo even starts

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?


Is it a bad thing that I love all of the songs u just listed? lol!!

prince songs are often better live, but he rarely plays the complete song.
There are a lot of his songs I don't like

maybe the highest acclaimed would be BLACK SWEAT.
otherwise known as B.S.

I remember hearing "Mountains" on the radio and hearing such a texture and layer in it. I loved that clap...clap echo in the drums too. It was almost like the song had a hiccup in it...and it was funky.

Life 'O' the Party


I don't think I know anyone who actually considers that a "classic" song. I'd hardly call it "popular".


Well, the Musicology live version is quite popular....

I'm going to say Purple Rain and XtraLoveable

Kiss - I use to like it, but dang he has played it out the last few years

Take me with you

hmmm what is considered popular after 1992? He has had only one #1 in 15 years and I have not heard a NEW song on the (white) radio stations in about the same amount of time. Popular amoung us?

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.

Off the top of my head:

The Ladder - An overly large dose of camembert
Adore - It's really not that good.
Hot Thing - Boring
Glam Slam - Truly dreadful, both lyrically and musically
The Dance - The shit (and not in a good way)
In a large room with no light - Just. Don't. Get. It.
Mountains - a real mess of a song, and an appaling single choice.
Scandalous / Insatiale / Extraordinary - all so frikkin' dull

i think the songs i dislike have been overplayed. i could NEVER hear
1999, Kiss, Purple Rain, LRC and Raspberry Beret again and be quite fine.

On the other hand songs that i've NEVER liked would include
Delirious
It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night (i probably haven't even heard that thing all the way thru),
Movie Star (what's the fuss),
Moonbeam Levels (may be my boot is just quite bad, but if the song is pretty much the same, OVER-RA-TED!),
The Most Beautiful Girl in The World,
Shhh (u gave it away already),

that's all that come to mind right away

Black Sweat (Black Wack)
Sister (Attention seeking Song)
Jack U Off (Just conry)
Condition Of The Heart (Boring as hell)
Let's Go Crazy (Overated)
Raspberry Beret (A walk down a corny cheesy pop kidy road)
