I'm surprised at some of the selections above. I won't say anything except to say I see some of my favorites listed, and there are far worse IMO Morning Papers (the grunge flannel and stage diving was kind of cool though lol) Party Man (sounds forced, and a little too busy) The Greatest Romance Ever Sold (nice video though) Graffiti Bridge (he's capable of better, I don't mind the lyrics but the tune isn't singable) U Got The Look (I do like the dream sequence though, funky, if only the rest of the song were)

I think TGRES is kind of corny, but I actually do like it. But all the other 4 you mentioned, I love! Especially U Got the Look (such a fun song) and Partyman.

Greatest romance is one of the most overated songs and people just say its good because they wanna be like oh rave had one good song haha. Othen than the chorus that song sucks.

That great song on Rave is Eye Luv U But I Dont Trust U Anymore, and it's actually one of his greatests songs ever, imo.

U ALL FORGOT LEMON CRUSH

just. why. why. sad frownface song. Nooooooooooooooo

I think I dont dislike 4 other songs. I just dislke Lemon crush.

I Love Jughead. But I was 6 when that came out soo I was impressionable.

I like Lemon Crush, I guess all these opinions are subjective (like my own reviews).

I love Lemon Crush. Why should I not? Is there something wrong about it's lyrics that I missed?

I think it's dancy and incredibly catchy. The keyboard line is infectious. And the vocals are great. The verses are kind of a cynic tone, which I love. I love when he is dramatic/theatrical (How come u dont call me anymore, Something in the water, Beautiful ones, Condition of the heart, Do u lie?, Eye Hate U etc).

Jughead, mr. happy, we march, the extended version of alphabet street, right back here in my arms, so many tracks from emancipation (title track included) lots from Rave

There is no "Extended Version" of Alphabet St. There is the edited single version, the album version and "This Is Not Music, This Is A Trip."

Excuse me, I've been looking for it for some time, where was the edited version of Alphabet St. released?

It was the single version that ended at the "Yeah" right before Cat comes in and raps. I don't think it's been officially released in a digital format. It is on vinyl, though. There are also some promo cd singles out there of it.

Some of his slow jams are just so grating to me.

Friend, Lover, Sister, Wife is my most hated Prince song of all time. Can't stand it for a second.

Let's Have a Baby is a close second.

Planet Earth is just plodding and boring and rubs me the wrong way.

Satisfied and On the Couch would probably round out the top five.

Better With Time is up there too.

As much as I hate to say it....I agree. lol

I never cared for FLSMW at all. I liked "Let's Have A Baby" ok, but your other choices are toward the bottom of my list also.

I like pretty much everything from 1977-1987 after that... I dislike most of it.

It's the production sounds that turn me off.. along with the subject matter.

Although I can probably find at least 1-2 things that i think are cool on each album (starting with Lovesexy)

It changes week to week but I really can't stand

1. Solo - Just self indulgence with cream, the singing could break glass

2. Da Da Da - Scrappy Doo's rapping is terrible and the song is just shit. No talent what so ever

3. The Flow - more self indulgent rapping/experiments and Tony M. All that what nigga man wants to play a guitar shit.

4. Graffiti Bridge - Cheese, cheese and boring vocals, like having a bag of sugar tipped down your throat.

5. Lemon crush - Ridiculously bad filler and nonsensical lyrics.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Off the top of my head....

Freaks On This Side
We Gets Up
Jughead
Purple & Gold
Resolution


Honorable mention to I Can't Make U Love Me and Everyday Is A Winding Road for being two of the most ill-conceived covers in music history.

Good choices. Those are 5 pretty lame songs. Well, Resolution isn't that bad, but it's far from great.

Jughead
This holds a special place in the history of bad songs because it's the first truly bad song Prince released, imo. Sure, Ronnie Talk to Russia isn't a great song, but it has some redeemable features. Jughead, not so much.

Grafitti Bridge
Ok, ignore what I just said about Jughead. This is the first truly bad Prince song

Purple & Gold
This was a joke, right?

The Rainbow Children
Yes, people, lyrics matter. And this song has the most misogynistic lyrics of his career: "she in subduction to ..." Just nasty mean. If this song had no lyrics, it'd probably be in my top 20 Prince songs. That's how bad the lyrics are.

We Gets Up
Cheese, just too much cheese

Songs on other people's lists that I think are great:
Crazy You
On the Couch
This Is Not Music, This Is a Trip
Annie Christian
Girl

* I can't be bothered to listen to New Powersoul again to choose bad songs from it so it very well could displace 2 or 3 of the songs on my list.

Wow... how did "Crazy You" get listed? That song is a fucking masterpiece, and easily the best track on Prince's first two albums IMO.

As far as my least favorites:

"The Flow" -- the nadir of the Tony M stuff

"Wedding Feast" -- just so incredibly goofy

"Graffiti Bridge" -- super overblown and sappy sounding

"Purple and Gold" -- same category as "Graffiti Bridge"

"Strays of the World" -- same category as "Graffiti Bridge" and "Purple and Gold"

Not even sure what the 6th song would be for me... I mostly love Prince's music, which is why I'm on this forum. I'm even basically ok with "Jughead," although I agree D&P would be better without it.

I really don't know why, because I like other songs in that genre (I love Adore, I like Insatiable, I really dig God Created Woman, and I many of the ballads on Emancipation are pretty good). But, when I hear International Lover, I want to stab somebody in the face.
