Prince songs most people love that you JUST CAN'T STAND!!!

Same thing as my other thread. What songs do most people love, but generally annoy you as a listener.

I never liked the song Diamonds and Pearls, or most of the D&P album for that matter. I have never managed to make it to the end of that song (and I've been a Prince fan for nearly 10 year at this point)! Although I like the little ethereal synth part at the start.

Also, although I don't HATE the song, never really saw what fuss about the song Adore.

Thoughts?

'Adore' for me. Just Prince wailing and meandering off track. Can't see the appeal at all.

The Continental (the main song part, not the How U Wanna B Done part... that's the part that actually sounds good). I think the Continental is worse than a Roxette song!

Ur serious right? D&P is great, that was my F AVORITE song when I was younger (including Kiss and adore Im not much of a fan of his 90s work. I have my areas that I enjoy but other than that not really into it. I ♥ him in 70s, 80s and now. Especially now his music is gr8.

I hear you and no offense taken. cool

I've felt the same way when people were praising The Rainbow Children, 3121 (with the exceptions of Black Sweat and Beautiful, Loved and Blessed), the Lotus Flow3r trilogy (with the exceptions of Dance 4 Me, Feel Good Feel Better Feel Wonderful), Purple and Gold, 20Ten, BCW and LRC2013 to no end, when they were served. All of which just simply made me feeling ill

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

I know Strays Of The World gets equal parts dislike from people, but I can't get how a lot of people hold it in such high praise. Everytime I hear that song I'm like no, no, no, nooo

There are songs on there that I call stripped, like they are still in the demo phase

Sign o the Times, It, Forever In My Life, the Cross

I wonder if this is how they would have still sounded if they ended up on Dream Factory

U Got The Look. Not that I hate it, just don't understand the love for it.

Cause tomorrow is taking too long
and yesterday's too far away
and the reality that you believe in begins to bind.

For me, "I Would Die 4 U" is the weakest track on PR. I used to really dislike the song but it's grown on me a bit over the last few years. Never cared for "Pop Life." And "Housequake," for me, is very repetitive and not all that great. Sorry.

Possibly Uptown. To me it just drags for too long and kind of ruins the flow of The Hits 1...

That's because you should be listening to Dirty Mind album and not the Hits compilation.

yeahthat Completely agree. I think the music on The breakdown is decent enough, but I totally agree the lyrics are contrived.
