What could possibly be so bad about that song?? It's in my all time top 5. I love it! Great beat, lyrics, guitar, everything... what's not to like?

Yep, I had a feeling... but I certanily didn't think "4 The Tears In Your Eyes" would be a controversial pick. I thought that one was obvious... | |

No, I don't think so. Worst doesn't have to mean bad. But I do think about half of those tracks are pretty weak. | |

What, you don't have a list?? For me personally, I don't hate any of the songs I listed, but I definitely think "Lemon Crush", "Dead On It" and "Scarlet Pussy" are easily some of his worst 80s efforts. | |

i guess i do, but personally i love scarlet pussy and dead on its pretty funky Bogey and Bacall, peanut butter and jelly, Wall being on fucking point, is "classic" dipshit. An iphone is top shelf technology. Get it straight. This thing is 4g. -Wall the great | |

Ugh... I'm so sick of all this hate for Arms Of Orion and Ronnie Talk 2 Russia. Both of them are fine songs. Definitely the most underrated 80s Prince songs.
Edit: I guess you didn't say you hated them, but still... they're both great songs. [Edited 7/8/11 4:37am] | |

Really? It's a bit pedestrian but for me the drums kind of save it. It's very funky. | |

1)Tamborine---should have been replaced by the superior "She's Always In My Hair" 2)Temptation 3)Life Can Be So Nice---a lazy,noisy,unfocused throwaway 4)Dance On 5)Lemon Crush---Oddly enough,I used to like this song alot 6)It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night 7)200 Balloons 8)Escape 9)Glam Slam---I don't hate this song,I just think it's bland and uneventful. 10) The Tears In Your Eyes---well-intentioned,but it's such a bore | |

But now I never listen to it.The lyrics are whack and the arrangement sounds so horribly cluttered and dated.
These two songs are not from the '80s. Pay attention. | |

Holy hell, this reads like my favourites list, I'd agree with Arms & Lemon Crush though - bolded are in my all time top 20!
Top Ten: - Slow Love - Delirious - Arms Of Orion - Lemon Crush - Positivity
Errr, tbh - everything else I'd feel kinda bad about putting it on the list!
I will say it blows my mind, but explains a lot when you see people's lists in this thread, then look at another thread and folks are all "Musicology and 3121 are great albums" -- you guys!

Good point! I wasn't paying attention. . |

I just think its dull. Its too long and doesn't really go anywhere. Usually comes last tie with Free in every 1999 track poll too, so I can't be the only one. . |

do people not like jack u off because of the lyrics? or do you guys just not like the song as a whole? i think its just completely genius Bogey and Bacall, peanut butter and jelly, Wall being on fucking point, is "classic" dipshit.

We recently had a thread about the 10-track '1999' CD that omits the song "D.M.S.R".I said that it would have made more sense to remove "All The Critics..." | |

I bet it would have come off too, but for the fact that the master was already produced and All the Critics segues into the songs on each side of it. I think DMSR went because from a production point of view, only Lets Pretend, DMSR and Automatic could be cut easily.
As videos were already made for Lets Pretend and Automatic, DMSR was the obvious victim. . |
