Too many to choose from

there's just so many i can't put

my finger on just one

let's see.........

hummmmm........

no...

no I just can't do it

Chelsea Rodgers= never see it mentioned but it rocks.

Pussy Control= don't know of another artist besides Prince that could pull this song off. Of course if he sang it today he'd likely change the lyrics to 'Pop Tart Control' or something like that.

U Got the Look= song is so busy but every part fits together and flows.

Animal Kingdom ?

Yupp. forgot all about that JOINT!

Good topic...I'll go with SST, Whereever you go, whatever you do, and finally...Planet Earth. If PE (the song) was released in the 80s when power ballads and We are the World ruled the airways it would be a classic.

I like the choices so far...

Walk Don't Walk

My Computer

Calhoun Square

Wasted Kisses

Dionne

When The Lights Go Down

I'll vote for...

Get Blue

I don't know about underrated but I'd say the tracks below are Prince gems that are not well known by the general public because they were either album tracks, b sides or poorly promoted:

Irresistable Bitch

Lady Cab Driver

Dinner with Dolores

I Hate U

Chelsea Rodgers

Silicon

My Medaillon

When I Lay My Hands on U

..off the top of my head.

Scandalous Sex EP (all 3 parts in succession). AWESOME.

"I Hate U"

one of my all-time Fav Prince songs

Love it! Love it! Love it!

Backing you all the way.
'My Computer' is an INCREDIBLE track I can never play just once because once that coda gets underway, I'm weeping and laughing simultaneously!

I really like My Computer. I really don't throw it in the category of these technology-nod songs Prince does, like emale, clouds, etc. It's got a good progression and really seems to show that Prince songwriter that I love...how he just kind of goes with his instinct and gets deep and lost in his own world, and in the end creates something really unique but full of his spirit. I would say the same spirit was brought out in Walk Don't Walk, so I'll vote for that one too.

Now 'Blue Light' is an interesting one because as a standalone, I could never enthuse but the very mention of it makes me want to play the whole album.

More than 'Lovesexy' to my mind, that album is an incarnate entity whose tracks cannot be experienced properly in isolation and whenever we get to 'Blue Light', it's the one where (like a Ringo song on a Beatles album) you're always tempted to skip (because it deliberately breaks the spell the album's in) but, after leaving it on, are rewarded every time.

The same therefore applies to the suggestion above of 'And God created Woman'. There's no way I'd put it on by itself but within the album, it's heavenly.

Blue Light Ps - have to agree with the orger who started this thread... "There is Lonely" is outstanding
