prince songs that actually irritate you

As much as I respect Prince and like a lot of his work, there are a few better-known tracks I actually can't bear - they force me to the skip button:

Cream-I hate everything about this song, especially the guitar and 'shboogie bop' line

Diamonds and Pearls-totally overproduced

Any Ballad with a whispering, moaning girl trying to sound sexy

I would Die 4U - lyrics good, music no thanks

Take Me with U - Good drum intro; the rest is boring to me

The Arms of Orion - takes cheesy to a new level

I always hated "little red corvette" - I know, I know, it's a classic and everyone loves it but for some reason I always hated it.

touched

Every time I post that I hate that song, SOMEone has to tell me I'm not a real fan, it's a "classic" therefore I have to LOVE it, and other such nonsense.

I hated that damn song in 1982, I hate that damn song NOW... shake

And I REALLY hate when "non fans" find out I like Prince, so they start singing it to me... mad

And "When 2 R in Love" (sorry Efan! boxed)!!!

I think it's "whiny"... and it shows up in three different places! neutral

weird plural edit

How can you not be moved when Sheila says, "Don't go!" at the end of When 2 R in Love? It's beautiful!

I don't think I've ever even heard her. I tune that song out if I don't skip it. boxed

Now I have to listen to it again... sigh

I might take some heat for this but it is purely subjective; I don't like the slow love ballads- Adore, Scandalous and Insatiable. Also, I'm not a fan of "Why you wanna Treat Me So Bad."
