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."

Although I like those songs, I rarely listen to them.

I find it hard to get into them alone. sigh

But in general, I'm not a big "love song" fan.

Cream - Those consonants really kill me, but it's just such a terrible tune anyway.

Free - For obvious reasons. Tacky, tacky, tacky, tacky...

Dance 4 Me - The Chipmunk voice, partially, also just a really irritating tune.

When Eye Lay My Hands on U - Pure, ugly dissonance. Maybe even Prince's worst song.

Jughead - Jughead

Da Bang - the effect on the vocals is incredibly grating.

Make Your Mama Happy - just a little too busy and frantic for my taste

Undisputed - just a bunch of clatter that adds up to nothing

Big Tall Wall - ill-conceived and annoying on every level

a whole bunch of those High/Peace/NPGMC-era tracks. I can tell he was going for something, a little more decent and consistent than the few albums that preceded them, but the songs just don't do it for me. still a lot of "going-through-the-motions" in the sound and a lot of annoying lyrics that don't gel. yeah, he's usually a bit wacked-out with the political/philosophical/spiritual themes and statements in his music, but a lot of this is just him being a malcontent. and a lot of the music is just plain flat and uninspired.

Resolution - the Mentos jingle version of an anti-war song that says absolutely nothing.

Some of my favourites are listed as hates but that's ok.

I loathe and I'm suprised they haven't been mentioned yet:

My name is Prince

Get Off

One bar of My name is Prince and I start feeling unpleasant.

I'll listen to the flute in Get off but the moment the moaning scream comes in, sorry, gotta go.

I like the beat, there are funky parts but the whole song theme is so arrogant it irritates me. mad

Not even the title is spelled correctly!

"Tonight she's a star".... for what???

Against a parking meter???? My God!

Tacky, tacky tacky mad

are you kidding? No one has mentioned the b-side GIRL? Or GOD (vocal)? Two songs that are as bad as the man can get and both are impossible to play for someone if you were trying to convince them that he wasn't pretentious. There is a reason they were relegated to the b-sides instead of having a tasty album home. lol

AWESOME song!

Didn't like the song until I heard it live at the taping of the Tonight Show. After that, I got it!

I never can sit through "When Doves Cry" all the way anymore. I still like the song and all, but there's so many songs I like more that I would rather just not waste the effort. It seems a little too repetitive for me. Or maybe just a little too long.

When it comes to Prince songs..I either "love 'em or hate 'em". There is no middle ground.

But, I try to stay on task....

Not in any particular order and the only ones that I can think of at this moment

1. Guitar

2. Cream

3. Batdance

4. Thieves in the Temple

5. Ronnie Talk to Russia

6. Free

7. Beautiful Night

8. Starfish...

9. Dinner With Delores

10. And all of the others that I didn't absolutely love by Prince.....
