Is there a certain Prince song that just really gets on your nerves? Or one that you feel is/was overplayed too damn much?

for me THE most annoying song has to be "my name is prince", when this first came out that's all I ever heard on the radio, god, that was annoying. But my vote for the most overplayed song is "little red corvette", ever since '83, I cannot go like one day wihout hearing this.

I can hear Raspberry Beret any day.

One time I heard Take Me With U on the radio and I found it to be a breath of fresh air.

¡Purple Rain!

1999 & Raspberry Beret - enough already!! Prince LOVES him some Raspberry Beret, though - has he ever done a show w/o playing it??

CalhounSq said:

Probably the shows in the Purple Tour and before that...

ChocolateInvasion said:

NOOO, really?

CalhounSq said:

Just a wild guess.

Want me to name all the dates to shows he didn't play that song?

ChocolateInvasion said:

YES! The thought of you wasting your time brings me a strange yet joyous sensation...

CalhounSq said:

The thought of actually having something to do this afternoon brings me a strange yet joyous sensation...

Raspberry Beret

Anna Stesia. Took it from being my favorite song to being one of my least favorites. Also Purple Rain and Raspberry Beret.

most overplayed: just about everything from "pr" and the first 3 trax from "1999".

most annoying: see the above. wishin somebody would do the right thing and put "bambi" on the radio one of these days...

stymie said:

I'm not bashing any songs, but im so sick of hearing Raspberry Beret, and they play kiss too damn much!!! Another problem is, that they don't play Diamonds and Pearls enough! Can't get enough of it!!!

kiss85 said:

I love Diamonds and Pearls and the only time I ever hear him play it is in some stupid medley.

stymie said:

I don't want to rub it in but the live version he played on the Diamonds and Pearls tour, duetting with Rosie was sublime.

ChocolateInvasion said:

Doin' a little window shoppin' are ya?
