Um, it's not a single. It's a b-side to the single "When Doves Cry".

I knew that was coming, Luke KnowItAll. I meant track/song.

It can't be disproved you think it's his greatest track/song.

Very short discussion.

For a B-SIDE... Yes, amongst Erotic City and She's Always In My Hair... Those are his 3 best b-sides no question.

Thank you, Captain Obvious. But I still argue it's his best pop song. Or at the very least, his most under-appreciated.

Dead up nod. Tis the jam cool. I think the smoker was a nod to the line in the song music.

I would say that this song is Prince's greatest B-side music It's a perfect song.....as strong as anything on the Purple Rain album.

Well said. The first four bars -- leading up to the crescendo -- are sublime.

I like it, a lot...but its a bit repetitive to be considered the best anything...except maybe the best ciggarett add. The repetitive nature reflects a cigarette accurately yet enticingly.

I wouldn't say it's the greatest but it is definitely in the top 5 and I'd certainly take it over EVERYTHING he's put out in the last 10 years.

17 Days is one of my favorite songs. I agree that it's just as good as anything that made the PR album. I also love the live version from the 1984 birthday show. It has so much energy, and the ending is just fantastic.

Yes, the birthday show version is brilliant.

.

And dadeepop is right; it's his greatest single. In his dreams. He dreamt the next album title and copywrited it so it must be true. wink
