Mutiny vs High Fashion - if you could only choose one!

I see these two as almost two halves of the same song, as they are often performed back to back (and sequenced that way on the Family album), and I think they are both Minneapolis masterpieces. But which would you choose, if you had to ditch one?

I think I'd have to ditch High Fashion...(just the thought made me feel sick)...if only because Mutiny has a slightly more interesting melody and chorus. High Fashion basically keeps the same melody in the chorus as the verses.

Two top tracks!

Right? lol

One example would be the Truth live in Minneapolis 31-05-07.

Can you describe these "Prince zones"?

"MUTINY" all the way. Prince's version, of course.

"Mutiny" makes me make the Prince Face, akin 2 the Funk Face.

Am I the only one that thinks Mutiny is the weak spot on The Family LP? The whole album is like a ride on a unicorn while being fed grapes by a naked Pam Grier, but that song is my least favorite.

I love the way it was performed on the 1986 Parade Hit N Run shows right after Controversy. Classic!

Yes. You're the only one. Mutiny is like a ride on a unicorn while being fed grapes by a naked Pam Grier. River Runs Dry is not. Neither is NC2U. But they are only one notch below. Best side-group album IMHO. Jill Jones comes close, but there are a couple of weak tracks.

But I looooove your analogy.

Hey! I just checked out your version of Mutiny on myspace! Great job, keeps integrity but it's your own interpretation. Loved it. Congrats! I've heard a lot of shit Prince covers in my time.
