Which is the best song? "Dirty Mind" or "Uptown"? Both songs are off the Dirty Mind album.
Which song do you like the best?
I prefer the song "Dirty Mind" because it sounds very disco - oddly reminds me of Alicia Bridges' "I Love The Nightlift", but more grittier and darker. |

Uptown! It's funky as hell and I love the lyrics. It's very anthemic. | |

dirty mind. I don't know how to put it clearly, but dirty mind sounds more unique to my ears. Uptown is a good song but its structure is pretty conventional. Dirty mind builds the same tension for almost the whole song, doesn't really have a chorus and is pretty minimal. The fact that it works so well in spite of not fitting into a more familiar structure is impressive to me. | |

"Uptown" because he put forward a manifesto, in which he calls for the establishment of a pleasure-centered society, with loads of sex and no racial and ethnic boundaries. | |

not crazy about either one, the jams on that record are when you were mine and head. If you've got funk, you've got style. | |

Both of these songs are classics, I pefer Dirty Mind but when I feel rebeleous, Uptown is the song of choice lol. It's lyrics about evryone being free to do whatever in this wonderful town realy gets to me. One song that I should maybe throw in the discussion is the last song on the album. Partyup is so funky and catching. ""Fighting war is such a f*cking bore" That song can really never get old tbh. I feel some kind of love 4 U
I don't know your name This is the kind of love that takes 2 I want U and I'm not ashamed | |

I love new wave synths so "Dirty Mind". It's cut and dry and minimalist in a creative, unique way and I like it. | |

I always get a Dity Mind when I'm Uptown.... Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews. | |

Uptown...still has all his themes | |

I'm surprised no one has posted the obligatory Prince-ism (its true), but whichever one you like best. That's the beauty of being a Prince fan. Uptown has the killer arrangement but I find myself listening to DM more. Partyup bests them both btw!! (IMO) | |

Off the album I like Uptown better, but when he preformed the songs live on the 1999 Tour, I much preferred Dirty Mind. It had so much more "energy" (for lack of a better word). If a man is considered guilty
