Well, don't shout at me, but I don't like the entire album 'Dirty Mind'. Sorry, but I only really like 'Sister' and ONLY a live version. The rest is kinda boring... As many have said, I don't hate it but I'm just not diggin' it...

"Right the Wrong" - this song is a total gagfest. I skip over it every time it comes on. It's got to be the worst song that Prince ever wrote; I hate it! barf barf

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

Simplicity??? "Forever in my life"?

This song is rather complex in its simplicity though.

Amazingly original way of letting the backing vocals come in before the lead vocal.

And the melody is so catching it surprises me every time with its ever evolving buildup.

The touch of gospel makes it clear that this can work both as an ordinary love song - and (as was actually the case) a song of worship for the god he believes in.

Good post.

I can't listen to "Play in the sunshine" or "Incense and Candles". Tuning.

Co-sign. I don't like Let's Go Crazy as well, just like I didn't like Beat It by Michael Jackson. I think the two of them better stick to their original genre, those songs are a lot better if you ask me.

You mean you're gonna actually hear what we play tonight? You're not gonna make up the notes in your mind?
