Anyone else love "It" like I do?

I feel as if this song does not get enough love. It's a great song. Funky drums and great vocals.

One of my favorites on SOTT, and one of Prince's best displays of raw, desperate emotion. In that sense, I feel it's on par with The Beautiful Ones and (the full version of) Computer Blue. thumbs up!

A song I've always liked, but probably didn't give it the credit it deserves until a couple of years ago when I really pumped up the volume whilst driving. It's intense!

Always loved IT with the sparse drum and synthes. He was in such a zone with this song and the SOTT era as a whole.

Agreed - one of my faves on SOTT and especially love the guitar solo (Pink Floyd style) and the ending! This song is an absolute awesome piece of music...

I knew I wasn't alone. It should be on the short list of Prince classics.

One of those songs you can't ever say he ripped off somebody else. Even though he doesn't use this style of singing very often throughout a song, it's one of his most true princey prince songs that he has made.

I love the way the echo on the drums and his vocals fits it perfectly. He sounds like he's singing on top of a mountain - and the vocal itself is just brilliant. So great. I agree with Replica, that this is one of the pure examples of a "Prince" song that nobody else could pull off.

Incredible performance. The mechanical drums perfectly highlight the emotionless subject matter.
No pretty melodies needed here. This is the sound of unbridled lust. His yearning for the carnal is plaintive and simple. You can almost hear the spunk oozing from his pores.
