Purple Rain and When Doves Cry are so overrated. They're good, but they're overrated. | |

I don't think Prince has that many generally overrated songs. The classics are, well, classics, and rightfully so. Within the Prince community, I do tend to think that some of his earlier work is a bit overrated... People will call every single song of '1999' better than ANYTHING he's put out in the last 15 years, well, yeah-- THAT's overrating...
As for UNDERrated songs... Poor Little Bastard and Sweet Baby... | |

Great choices. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I immediately thought of Cream as overrated when I read the thread title, so that song for sure. I've always considered it the perfect example of a mediocre Prince single.
I don't remember anyone say they didn't like When You Were Mine, but it doesn't seem to garner much attention on "favorites" lists either. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Underrated by the public: Girls & Boys Over rated - Purple Rain (may be due to over exposure)as Princes signature track is rather rubbish. Under-rated Lyrically Money Don't Matter Tonight ; more poignant than anything his tried to be clever with since and says it all. | |

overrated: Diamonds&Pearls
underrated: too many to name all. Just about every brilliant song that's not well-known outside his fan base. {Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother, Wife}, Joy In Repetition, Face Down, to name a few. | |
