Nevermind, it looks like everyone actually loves Arms of Orion.

• All The Midnights In The World - nice one, my sick brain dictates me;

Yeah, it's a lovely little song imo.

Absolute number 1 for me - Strays of the World, this is aoutstanding piece of music that just soars. Turn it up loud on a home theatre system and you have a Princegasm right there

.

Other songs I dig that get a lot of dissing on the org

In Love sexy little pop number

Around the world in a day I love the instrumentation and the lyrics here.

It - not really dissed, but seen as a lesser track on Sign, okay its not Housequake or Adore, but its still a darn good frenetic sex bomb of a song.

Partyman Just a cool partyjam, he is having a lot of fun and I love the video.

Thunder and Daddy Pop - Both of these set up the album and the latter is a great "I'm the musical pimp genre" pop song and the first a sex meets extreme weather rocker. Powerful stuff -

Dig U better dead - This is pretty good, why people hate it is beyond me, in fact all of Chaos and Disorder is good except I rock therefore I am and take out the rap and ragga and its still a decent song

Poom Poom, Hide the Bone, 18 and Over - funny sex ballads and songs, okay its not art, but they are fun and he is pretty funny -

Animal Kingdom - I just love this

Lion of Judah - This is powerful stuff and a solid rock ballad, why do people hate on it though? -

She Gave her angels - Beautiful just beautiful -

.

I am sure I will think of more, but yeah all our tastes vary I guess. As far as albums go, I really think Crystal Ball, Chaos and the Vault are underrated, whereas Lovesymbol and TRC are overrated.

.

For Proteges, one song stands out - Mayte's version of If I love u 2nite, her voice suits that song totally. Her innocent sounding voice, gives the song a real freshness and frothy pop sound, but in a good way. Strange I could see Andy Allo doing that song too?

Thats a great song.

.

I love some tracks form MPLSound 'You're Gonna See Me', 'Here', 'Better with Time'. I don't really know if people generally consider these some of the 'worst' but the whole album gets such a hard time in general.

I remember that Silver Tongue was pretty much hated by most. I find it perfectly enjoyable.

Much maligned music that I like:

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

You just won your own thread right there. There's no greater divide between enjoyability and enjoyment than that.

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?

I love it too!

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

There is a live version online from the Septimo show.

^ Thanks, Bambi82!

Arms Of Orion

Graffiti Bridge

and yes, i like La,La,La Means I Love U

I really like "Freaks On This Side".

Bambi82 said:

I love Mad Sex, but I don't see how that could be considered a contender for "worst Prince song", other than the fact that it features on the much-maligned NPS.

Isn't there an audio boot of the '99 Mill City Music Festival? I went to the show with a friend of a friend who videotaped the whole thing (unbeknownst to me until later). But I never heard whether the audio made it into circulation. If it did, there's some more Prettyman for you.

I'm not sure, but thanks...you lucky bastard. Bambi82's link was cool. Prince cracked on Elton John's hair. Or lack of.

Dionne? That is a Prince masterpiece to me. I get that CD out just to play that song most of the time.

It's my favourite on that album, too. Sounds like something that might have featured in a deleted scene from Under the Cherry Moon (but on piano, of course ).

Yeah--I didn't know anyone hated it... I just figured most people never heard it. It barely had a release.

I didn't figure people hated United States of Division either... is that why no one ever talks about it? I liked it.

Lots of people do hate Arms of Orion--I love it. If people hate Strays of the World--well, I disagree with them, too. I also like Animal Kingdom, and I know lots of people claim to hate it (I personally don't believe a lot of them hate it so much as the idea of it).

A lot of these songs that people are saying I'm not sure are hated by a lot of folks--they're just not often discussed, or they're on albums that are considered weak (or even just mediocre). I'm not sure that makes them among the "worst" even by common opinion. There's a lot of neglected gems out there, but most of them are ignored rather than actively despised. And a lot of what's been listed on this thread (maybe most) are songs that I would include if I were picking (as I once started to do back in the 90's) the top 1/3 of the songs from each project. They're not the obvious top twenty or so that you'd get from polling the .org--but they're not (with a few exceptions) the bottom twenty, either (Purple and Gold and Arms of Orion excepted--but again, I have no idea why people hate Arms of Orion).
