Much maligned music that I like:

I loved Purple and Gold the minute I heard it - and actually play it.

Song of the Heart makes me feel good.

The entire NewPOwerSoul album - unfairly dogged in my opinion

I love: My Name Is Prince, deeply.


No kidding,

And I love the music video too, Prince's jumping around in water, with fire burning, dressed in that black outfit, symbol gloves and that chain hat.

What a great moment imo, too bad the americans hate the song.... MNIP was mainly a hit in the UK (& Europe),

right?

and,


I Batdance too, deeply.

What a fantastic funk-collage, and a great beat and guitar solo!


(imo)

I like Everyday Is A Winding Road.

Do I win?

I've always enjoyed Arms of Orion.

I love none of Prince's worst songs, but will admit to liking the music of Animal Kingdom.

Batdance is not even close to being a bad song, it's a masterful track -- only Prince could have a hit with what is basically a medley thrown into a studio blender. The track and the movie promoted each other, and the video was a great treat and perfect promotional tool for the movie, with its Batmanified Prince as Gemini. People talked about it and were impressed.

Batdance is a rubbish song, if you can even call it a "song"... dreadful song from a dreadful album, if you ask me.

I love Animal Kingdom

Alot of people hate Everybody Loves Me but I love it. If you can get past the weird vocals, it's a pretty fun song.

you can't be serious about THAT 100% awful track..?


Batdance is Prince pressing everything to the limit. I love that. Great dialogue from the movie, great beat, great guitar solo.

Winding Road is just plain dreadful, a pain listening to... imo.

Strange, just how different tastes can be, right?

Prettyman. I love the slurping-on-a-lollipop spoken intro and of course Maceo's sax.

Prettyman was killer live! I've always loved There'll Never B Another Like Me. I crank that shit. I love it.

Nothing personal, but I hate you with a burning passion because you've heard that live and I haven't.

I like My Name Is Prince, Shoo-Bed-Ooh (I like that thick bass line), Everybody Loves Me is fun...geez I have terrible taste.

I'm deadly serious. I love it. If it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't even consider it a guilty pleasure. My first ever thread on the org was a Everyday Is A Winding Road appreciation thread. That was before I knew what a bunch of sour pusses you lot were, and suffice to say I got a roasting for it.

I really don't get why it's so hated on here. Is it because Larry Graham is chanting on it? It's a great cover. Catchy as fuck chime bells in the chorus and I especially love from 5:08-5:32 ("we gone make it, weeee got new power soul").

But then I love the whole Rave album start to finish. Always have, always will.

I heard it live several times. At the Mill City Music Festival in 1999 and a few times at Paisley Park, right up in Prince's face.

Are you trying to ruin my weekend?

I love Arms of Orion. Overstuffed, gaudy, immediately dated, it's so 1989 it hurts. But it hurts so good.

1. I love The Arms of Orion. A classic.

2. Diamonds & Pearls is in my Top Ten of Alltime Favorite Prince Songs.

3. People seem to hate these two here, but I LOVE Cream & The Most Beautiful Girl in the World.

4. Purple & Gold isn't as bad as people make it out to be. 'Heard worse.

5. 1999 may be the most well-known Prince song worldwide but no one here appreciates it! The greatest one-man jam of all time, blows away most of his other funk songs. In my Top Ten.

6. Delirious is always considered 'filler' but I love it.

7. Temptation is a classic, and the 'God' part makes it better rather than worse.

8. LEMON CRUSH

.

I can't think of any more off the top of my head, but these should suffice. I've always loved most of Prince's work, but I tend to lean more towards his poppy work (which most fans seem to dislike)

Poom Poom.

.

Lemme see yer papers....

Yeah, I have horrible taste as well:

• Right The Wrong - love it;
• Strays Of The World - amazing, I'd say;
• Boy Trouble - fonky in my book;
• most of the songs off Come - never grow tired of them (except for Race, yuk);
• All The Midnights In The World - nice one, my sick brain dictates me;
• etc.

I always tend to change opinions on P songs as well, so I might nominate completely other songs later.

I really like "The Arms Of Orion"
