What is your favorite prince song musically?

I'm quite sure this thread might exist already, but this isn't really about your favorite prince song but rather what attracts you to his songs, arrangements, lyrical content, melody structure and so on. smile

the duet between the guitar and the strings in the second half of "Pink Cashmere" is one of the most perfect moments I've ever heard in all of popular music.

The Future is up there for me - I just love how propulsive yet eerie it sounds.

I've seen the future, and boy it's rough...

ICNTTPOYM- The combinationof rock and blues is awesome

Erotic City- The single greatest funk song ever. The instrumentation is to die for.

I always thought Do U Lie? was Prince's most sophisticated piece musically:

you have the accordion, Fischer's idiosyncratic orchestration, those awesome

backgrounds and those jazzy progressions...it's marvelous.

I have a strange obsession with "The Beautiful Ones." It's not too complicated musically speaking, but from the beginning to the end is pure perfection. Prince uses his voice as just another instrument that harmonizes pefectly with the music. Like his voice and the music are one and the same. Not sure how to explain it, but I could listen to that song all day every day. wink
