That doesn't sound like Prince!

What Prince song do you think sounds the least like him (excluding instrumentals), something that would surprise people.

I think The Rainbow Children. The end of that song sounds like Prince though.

101 really came as a shock 2 me, i mean i LOVE this song SO much, it's a masterpiece, such an emotional violence, but it sounds SO unlike Prince. I hope Prince will allow us 2 hear his own cut one day!

101 is really a great strong song, but I think it sounds like Prince's style. A spooky version.

The first time i heard 'Sometimes it snows in april' i thought: hey, this doesnt sound like what he usually does.

I mean, yes, I could hear it was him, but there is a subtleness and subduedness to the song that is quite uncommon to the majority of his music.

The Grand Progression doesn't sound at all like Prince.

I've always thought of I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man as the odd one out, but I realise how stupid it may sound to others lol

The guitar solo is very Prince-like without doubt, but the rest of the music... I don't know...

The same goes for Play in the Sunshine IMO.

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

That makes sense, though... SISIA is W&L's style (as is Mountains from the same album).

I can't answer, been listening to him too long. He has quite the repertoire, maybe Habibi. Oh, and The War
