Out of For You, Prince, Dirty Mind, and controversy, 1999, Purple Rain, and ATWIAD, and Parade. Pick one song from each album, that you think you listen to THE LEAST or what you feel is worst on that album However you can't pick segues, moments of silence, instrumentals, etc.

For me it's

Just as Long as We're together : from for you

With You from Prince

Gotta Broken Heart Again From Dirty Mind

Ronnie Talk to Russia From Controversy

Free From 1999

Take Me with you From Purple Rain

Condition of the Heart From ATWIAD

Life can be so nice- from Parade

Now I love every song off the above albums but if forced I'd say these are the ones I listen to least.

I'm gonna poll some albums every few days to compile a playlist of "the worst of Prince" via one song from each album, and want everyones input.

Thanks

For You: So Blue

Prince: I Feel For You (I know, blasphemy..always thought this sounded tinny and flat, then again I was used to Chaka's remake before hearing this for the first time)

Dirty Mind: Do It All Night (which I do like, just not as much as everything else)

Controversy: Ronnie Talk To Russia (again, kinda like it but the rest of the album is much better)

Purple Rain: I Would Die 4 U

Around The World In A Day: The Ladder

Parade: I Wonder U

For You - My Love Is Forever

Prince - When We're Dancing Close and Slow

Dirty Mind - Do It All Night

Controversy - Annie Christian

1999 - Free

Purple Rain - Take Me with U

ATWIAD - The Ladder

Parade - Girls & Boys

I actally always thought of girls and boys as an underrated track.

[Edited 9/28/10 22:04pm]

For You: "I'm Yours" (everytime I hear that intro I see Rocky Balboa running up the steps in Philly)

Prince: "Still Waiting" (sounds like something that would be playing at the Regal Beagle as Jack and Larry order drinks on the prowl)

Dirty Mind: "Do It All Nite" (just never dug it)

Controversy: "Let's Work" (the bass line is tooooo funky, but I always think of "Car Wash" when I hear it)

1999: Sorry...that one is perfect!

Purple Rain: "Let's Go Crazy" (I dont hate it, but its my least fave on the album)

Around the World in a Day: "Temptation" (never liked it)

Parade: Another perfect one, but if forced to pick, I'd say "Christopher Tracys Parade"

No such thing

For You---"I'm Yours"

Prince---"When We're Dancing Close And Slow"---it's not a bad song,it just drags a little.

Dirty Mind---"Uptown"---I like this song,but I like the other tracks so much more.

Controversy---"Ronnie Talk 2 Russia"

1999---"Delirious"

Purple Rain---"Take Me With U"

ATWIAD---"Tamborine"---this silly track should have been replaced with the superior "She's Always In My Hair".

Parade---"Life Can Be So Nice"---a chaotic,noisy little song that goes nowhere.

Controversy: wow, I guess I'll have to choose Ronnie Talk 2 Russia, Cont if a really good album...

1999: International Lover (he perfected this move with If the Kid Can't Make U Come)

Purple Rain: (no worsts on this album but I can't always listen 2 When Doves Cry)

Around the World in a Day: the Ladder

Parade: Do U Lie?

It breaks my heart a little to read some of your answers and to give mine, but if I had to pick the ones I liked the least...

For You: For U

Prince: I Feel For U

Dirty Mind: Gotta Broken Heart Again

Controversy: Ronnie Talk to Russia

1999: All the Critics Love you in New York

Purple Rain: Baby I'm a Star

Around the World in a Day: Around the World in a Day

I hear ya. I don't even dislike I Wonder U..only reason I picked it was that it's the shortest song on the album. Hurts a little less maybe!! Notice I cheated and skipped 1999 completely! Couldn't do it!

Boy You crazy. I happen to like alot of the songs I listed but if had to chose one from those albums it would be those i listed that i liked least. I want to see what everyone dislikes most and make a playlist of those songs and give them some more ipod play. I'm not saying they are the worst. But everyone has diff. opinions, and likes.

Me thinks Still Waiting is the most underrated Prince ballad ever!

This is really hard to do. I love all of the albums listed, so choosing the "worst" material from them still creates a great playlist.

Here goes...

For You: So Blue

Prince: With You

Controversy: Ronnie, Talk To Russia

Dirty Mind: Uptown

1999: Free

Purple Rain: I Would Die 4 U

Around The World In A Day: America

Parade: Venus De Milo

this thread is really hurting my feelings right now

Well, if this is true, then it should be, "the least Favorite" of those albums. "Worst" means you hate it.

I will not particapate in such nonsense from any Prince albums in the '80's. There is no, "least favorite". There could be a least favorite if any had not been supported by the album as a whole.

For me, it honestly starts at Grafitti Bridge. I even dig all of Batman, and I do look at it as a true Prince Album and not just a soundtrack.

LOL well if you would read it says worst or LEAST FAVORITE. Your Bad! And I love all them too, especially Batman.

The stuff you named is ridiculous on a list like "the worst of". Everything Prince did from 1978-1989 is golden (except that tag ending to "Temptation"). I just don't think people who make a list like THIS one, really understand Prince's timing in things, what he was doing, where he was at mentally and otherwise, and what he was trying to accomplish. It's the same kind of list made by someone who puts "Little Red Corvette" or "When Doves Cry" at the top of their favorite all time Prince songs.

Wow, I didn't realize this would be so hard..... Anyway, here goes...

For You: Perfect ablum IMO, love every song!

Prince: Sexy Dancer

Dirty Mind: Party Up

Controversy: Ronnie Talk To Russia

1999: Something In The Water

Purple Rain: Another Perfect ablum, love every song!

Around The World In A Day: Tambourine

Parade: Do You Lie

[Edited 9/30/10 0:40am]

Most of these I don't hate, just don't like as much as the rest of the album and I will rate the song, but here goes

For You: So Blue 5/10 (So so track on a so so to good album)

Prince: With You and When Were Dancing Close and Slow 5/10 (Dreary)

Dirty Mind: Sister 8/10 (As you can see, I just love everything on it, Sister not as much as its just really a bit of silliness underneath it all, but still brilliant and funny as all feck)

Controversy: Ronnie Talk to Russia 5/10 (The rest is brilliant)

1999: All the Critics Love U in New York 6/10 (A bit too quirky for me and not as strong as everything else)

Purple Rain: Darling Nikki 7/10 (Not bad, but on the best ever album, its out of place with the rest which is polished perfection, he should have put 17 Days on it instead)

ATWIAD: Tambourine and Temptation 3/10 each (Self Indulgence nonsense, weak musically and silly subject matter, do not stand up with better tracks) Then again I consider this album the weakest in the bunch, ATWIAD was just not up to standard and didnt jell musically

Parade: Venus De Milo 6/10 (Only part thats not brilliant, all the tracks on Parade work, this one not as well, but still a magnificent achievement)
