Prince's biggest streech in music

What is /was a streech for Prince in a music sense?
Which songs you find like it wasn't
easy for him to come up with ?
We know that Prince can make songs
like Tho Work pt1 in his sleep or other James Brown pastiche
but what about songs where he used more inventive chords,more striking guitar solo,crazy drum beat or different time signature?
My vote goes to Last December
i find it it's the only song that is similar to
Purple Rain vibe but if you are in
the right mood
it can sound better then his most
well known song.
While Last December have friendly harmony in
chorus and verses at the middle he started adding many different
moods that sound complex but without losing focus
and sounding self indulgent .
second vote goes to Parade
while it's not my favorite album by P whole album(except Kiss) have Europe in the songs.you can almost smell France.
a kind of sophistication Prince's music didn't have before that.
so whats your choice and why?

What the hell is a streech? wink lol

I think it'd be easier to ask.....what are some of Prince's more unique songs or albums. Tough call. Every person is going to hear something differently.

Prince has done lots of streeching in his musical career.
There have been genre streeches.
Band change streeches.
Hairdo streeches.
Fashion streeches.
Probably even a Streech Armstrong thrown in somewhere.
but...
Without a doubt, the greatest streech has to be the fight song. Not for its lack of musical dazzle, but for its lack of fight.

That song is more like a I JUST LOST A FIGHT song.

Now that's a hell of a streech backwards for a man with so much talent. Progressive regression, as a great poet once said.

Now for a streech forwards, I'd have to say I love the Kama Sutra Ballet. So different, and everytime I play it, I get a kick out of how shocked people are when I tell them that it's Prince. They always think it's Andreas Wollenweider.

And by the way. I do admire your absolute refusal to be cohesive, and your casual attitude towards spelling. So refreshing. Thank you for fun.

Can one not bandy about rules of spelling for a bit of fun? I'm a teecher after all. Do lighten up. It's Friday.
