My fav are:

Tamborine---this shit is just too funky I don't know why people diss it

Life can be so nice---This one of my all time fav Prince jamz when I listen to it I have to pump it!

Annie Christian/Ronnie Talk to Russia---Why don't people dig these? Uh confused the shit is dope!

Dance on---This is just a personal taste of mine.

3 chains O gold---This is musically some of the best stuff the NPG has done.

THE WHOLE COME ALBUM--nuff said.

New Power Soul...the album...and who doesn't like it.

Escape is the bomb.

My choice would be 'Trust' off Batman.

"Dolphin" is in my all-time Prince top 10, probably even in
there with the first 5.

I think it's a fantastic song. Really beautiful. Must have
listened to it more than a thousand times now and it still
gets to me.

Never understood how some people could call it the worst
song on The Gold Experience.

amen!!! i'ma be the one doin the slappin!!!

WOW, Nice to see alot of other peeps dig "ARMS OF ORION". I Love this tune so much...every time I see Orion the constellation, I sing it out loud...Very Underrated.

I played "Van Gogh"for my hubby and he didn't care for it at the time. I am going to play it again, 'cause to me, it is a sexy song. I love it

Tina (~!~)

'Love Song' - the duet with Madonna on her 'Like A Prayer' album. Its one of his sparsest arrangements and stands out from the rest of that album like something from another planet...

Personally, I never cared for "She Gave Her Angels" until I saw him playing it (synching) on the Muppets Tonight show.

Well how about With You? That's another fave!

'nuff said.

Hmmm...

Dinner with Delores, Walk Don't Walk, Big Tall Wall are the ones I immediately think of.

FACE DOWN – Some boxer with really big balls is going to blast this someday as they enter the ring.

I'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER FOOL – The 90’s version of "Respect" or "I'm Every Woman". Unfortunately almost no one has heard it. I’d love for Chaka to join Prince on stage someday and throw this down loud and proud.

THE LOVE WE MAKE / SLEEP AROUND/ SOUL SANCTUARY / JOINT 2 JOINT / F, L, S, M/W (and many others) – The three most important things to me in music are songwriting, songwriting and songwriting. That’s why I like a lot of “Emancipation” (particularly disc 2 and 3) even though the production is mostly ordinary by Prince standards.

WITH THIS TEAR – Yeah, I said it. I don’t like a lot of the watered-down, middle-of-the-road material that Celine Dion sings, but this one knocks me out almost every single time. She understands perfectly the pain that Prince put into this song.

WILLING AND ABLE – A highlight of a hit-and-miss record. Sounds like it was written during the same session that brought us “When the Lights Go Down”.

QUESTION OF U – It’s not all that underrated, but it is still too underrated. It’s right up there with the classics. Should be a concert staple.

EVERYWHERE – The under-appreciated “Rainbow Children” gem. I was so hoping for an 8 to 10-minute version of this song on Prince’s last tour, complete with a full powerhouse choir. Every time I listen to this I’m transported to a black church in the American South, where the intensity of sweat and spirituality are strong enough to shake the little building to its core. The more energy you give this song, the more you’ll get back.

I LOVE U, BUT I DON’T TRUST U ANYMORE – Save this “Rave” banished track for the box set.

COME HOME – Mavis, I’ll catch the next train. I promise.

THERE IS LONELY / SOLO – Two supremely genuine takes on depression and loneliness.

IF I COULD GET YOUR ATTENTION – (Taja Sevelle version) I’m a sucker for a pop song that stands up to repeated listens.

HIDE THE BONE – Live it can fly nearly as high and hard as “Days of Wild”.

COMEBACK –This could turn a cold man into a warm believer, at least for 2 minutes.

RIPOPGODAZIPPA – One of his most underrated sex romps.

COME (title track and album version) – Prince’s MOST underrated sex romp. It’s aging like a fine wine. I get lost in the creamy mix each and every time.

PINK CASHMERE – Just sick that the world does not know of this stunner.

DA BANG – A beautifully natural fusing of heavy metal and blues. No wonder Prince drove around listening to it 32 times right after it was recorded.

THE EXODUS HAS BEGUN – One of the best funk anthems you’ve never heard.

That abrupt transition from the bombastic rock opera to the peaceful flute about 45 seconds into “3 Chains of Gold” (“you say you’ll call me and then you don’t / I want to kiss you and then I won’t / we both do nothing and call it love”). The song itself is not one of my favorites, but this one small part is one with prettiest transitions I’ve ever heard.

I’d better stop now…

Ahhh...the lyrics to this one are absolutely breathtaking!

CalhounSq said:

Tamborine.What more is there 2 say than it's only 1 'o' his best songs EVER. & Iluv The Ladder 2.

PURPLEJACKSON9 said:

It's not that nobody else likes these, I just haven't seen them listed as ppl's favourite tracks...

"In Love" - it's got a funky hook and his vocals are all over the place!

"Somebody's Somebody" - just a lovely, romantic jam with an easy yet desperate feel about it.

"White Mansion" - I cannot put my finger on it, but I just dig it.

"Gotta Broken Heart Again" & "Still Waiting" - 2 me these both go hand in hand (maybe due 2 a personal experience). They both have a really pretty melody and the lyrical subject matter always seems 2 mirror my life.

The live studio mix is insane...

Jasziah said:

I've mentioned this one on the site before, but it went un-answered. This is definitely one of my favs!!! I love it! I was hoping he was going to break this one out when he did Gotta Broken Heart Again at the Celly last year, but to no avail!

EllisDee said:

Agreed!! Funky as hell!!!

alexnvrmnd said:

Yep, we're still waiting for this one to be played live. (hint, hint) Would be GREAT!

God!!!

Do U Lie
Temptation
Don't Play Me
Venus De Milo
Mr. Happy
My Computer

HolyWine said:

Thank you! Love this track, and a lot of this CD. Dinner w/Delores, too! And "Now" from Gold Experience, that's a beat.

never really hear peeps talk about this track much so I'm assuming they don't like it much but I absolutely adore 'ACKNOWLEDGE ME' from the Crystal Ball, just think it's got so much cool and attitude - can't believe he pulled it from the Gold Experience!
