Interested in seeing everyone's idea on the gems from each album. You know, the ones that werent released as singles, the ones that casual fans dont know about and are blown away by when you make them a CD.

Here's a couple of my favs:

Prince-I Feel 4 U
Dirty Mind-When U Were Mine
Controversy-Annie Christian

Anyone?

Controversy--Do Me Baby
Lovesexy--Annastecia
The Gold Experience--Shhh...

Ok, some of mine may have been singles, BUT they are probably only even known as singles by people like us. Can we agree that there is some difference between songs that are released as singles, and songs that are released as singles that actually get significant national airplay.

Graffiti Bridge - We Can Funk
1999 - DMSR
Batman - Electric Chair
Purple Rain - Take Me With You (an example of what I was talking about in my disclaimer above)
Black Album - Bob George
Chaos & Disorder - I Like it There
Parade - Anotherloverholenyohead (if you want to hold me to the "rules" of this topic then I'll take New Position or Do U Lie instead)
Dirty Mind - Head
Controversy - Jack U Off
Lovesexy - Dance On
Around the World - Condition of the Heart
Prince - Bambi
Rave - Baby Knows
Symbol - Blue Light (has he done anything else remotely as reggae as this?)
Sign - Starfish & Coffee
3121 - Fury (yes, it was a single, but I don't believe more than 20 radio stations ever played it)

For You-Crazy You
Prince-I Wanna Be Your Lover
Dirty Mind-Uptown
1999-Automatic
Controversy-Private Joy
Graffiti Bridge-Joy In Repeatiton
Around The World-Pop Life
