These are songs you notice non-fans get into big time.

Kiss: Probably because it was a big hit, and it has a kickin groove.

Raspberry Beret: Universally catchy.

Purple Rain: I know someone who hates all Prince but loves this song.

When Doves Cry: His number one song non-fans love. Probably why most fans are tired of it.

Pope: For some reason everytime I play it people groove on it.

Housequake: Funk fans love it.

1999: Big hit.

Darling Nikki: Probably because of the movie and lyrics.

Gett Off: killer jam.

Scandalous: Woman really dig this.

Adore: Another non-fan fav.

Pop Life: big hit.

Rainbow Children: I know Prince haters who dig this jazz stuff. No wonder I hate it..lol

Sign O The Times: I guess they must like the guitar groove.

Ok, that's enough.

i didn't know non-fans knew about "adore"...

Deja, you need to get out more babe..lol.

it's not that...it just seems like all the folks 'round here dig "wdc" and crap. u gotta hunt 4 folks who love the other stuff nowadays...

Little Red Corvette -- this is the one song that people say they like when they say they don't like much of anything else.

I had a friend who hated Prince with a passion. But when Diamond and Pearls came out, he grudgingly admitted it was a great song, romantic side got the better of him I guess. It is a great song, he should do it more justice in concert than just the snippets on piano he always does.

I think Prince was dissapointed in the coda.

Yeah but whats theyre fave Prince album?! 'The Very Best of Prince' funny but annoying

Add Starfish and Coffee and Crystal Ball to the list. I've had nothing but positive reactions from non-fans who hear these songs.

Let's Work still gets played alot in some clubs here, and the crowd surprisingly really gets into it.

Same with Erotic City.

I so hate it when you tell someone you like Prince and they just come back with "yeah Purple Rain was alright"

Much love Pochacco

Do Me Baby&Let's Go Crazy.

Peaple like prince's songs more than we think..

i agree with kiss, purple rain and some of the others

but i find the main one is Nothing compares 2 u... which they all seem2 think sinead o'connor wrote then they claim that prince is shite and sing it althoguh they dont like him

RAHHH!!!11

When Doves cry is another song that non prince fans seem 2 like ... I always get "I don't like Prince but I like when doves cry"

I listen to Prince all the time. When my sister, who does not like Prince, lived with me she said...

"I like "Baby I'm a Star" cause it sounds so '80's"

I still question her parentage...

that's cold-blooded...

P Control, P Control, P Control!!!

At least in my experience that has always held true.

Judging from the amount of times it pops up on any given
fileshare programm, I'd say most non-Prince fans have a
liking for Pussy Control.

I've never met any non fan who'd heard of Adore, Housequake, Pope, or even Pop Life. Gold seems to be pretty popular though.

exactly. I've met scores of people who didn't even know
purple rain [they should be institutionalised], so let
alone anyone whom knew "adore" or "pink cashmere" etc.

I forgot, How Come U Don't Call Me... Alicia Skeez proved that.

yeah, but how many of these peezy-headed youngsters know that it wuz a prince song?

Maybe they didn't but they still digged the song--even though Prince did a better version.
