17 Days I love this song. For some reason it's in my mind. How many others love the vibe of this song? I would love for Prince to bring this back live. He could mix it with Dance 4 Me. Proverbs 23:9 | |

I love this song, it has a serious groove and a great spoken section.
His vocals throughout are "on point" | |

Now when you talk b-sides 17 Days is at the top of my tree. With it’s elastic bass, shaking tambourines and rain drop melody the song just lays out heartbreak in a way that makes it so attractive and places you in the despair lyrically while musically it offers a glimmer of hope. I know I’m not alone thinking this song would have been a hit as an A-side at the time. The fact it was the b-side to When Doves Cry probably means it got a good airing none the less.

Hilarious. for the majority of my life as a Prince fan I despised this song. Now it is in worship territory  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

17days got alot of air play back in the summer of 84". It is indeed a very lonely piece, but the groove makes it so infectious. Loneliness seems to be a theme in Prince's early work, even in Do Me Baby you feel that lonely energy underneath the seduction. | |

I love the song but every time I hear it, I check my cigarette pack because I be damned if I'll let mine get down to only two left.  Andy is a four letter word. | |

IMO it is the best or second best (after Rasberry Beret) Prince song |

This song was too tight, probably tied with 'Erotic City' Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!!  In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!! | |

Most definitely in my top 3 B-Sides. Still play the vinyl regularly.
The bending, elastic bass line alone is addictive. "He's a musician's musician..." | |
