Nude tour was a flop?

Agreed, Get Off video is great.

If you like Prince pretending he's Caligula at a Roman orgy, yes, then I suppose it's great. To me, everything about Gett Off, beginning with the title, was fake. (He already had a song called Get Off, talk about lack of inspiration there.) His latest albums had flopped, so he must have thought, I need to make money! Sex sells, so let me sing about sex! That's what folks expect of me anyway. Rap sells, so let me introduce this rapper, ladeeez an' gentlepeople, heeeeere's: Tony M! Yeeaaa!

Caligula film is great so full of orgies.

Yeah but Cream is a great song, because its catchy and really funky. It is infectious and has an instantly memorable melody. Please people stop rubbishing it, I wouldn't be here posting with out and would just be plain old Adore.

IMHO, anyone that dares to say that Cream OR Gett Off is overrated are complete idiots that need to get their Purple Pass revoked!

Both songs are Prince classics. The lyrics to Gett Off are like one of the best forms of poetry that Prince ever written. And don't anyone sleep on Cream (NPG Mix), which I still jam to even today.

the Nude tour was big in the uk, a record number of nights at wembley arena at the time i believe. It was also my first Prince show! Hardly a flop!

The nineties brought some great music from prince. Try listening to the bootleg cd The Dawn. When i listened to it, it hit me how much great stuff prince recorded back then. The problem was the big fallout with warners, and the name change. He got battered alot in the media just for the name change alone!

I played the video of CREAM to a 17 year old who had never heard of Prince, and she said that it was soooooooooo goooooooooood! It was nice to inspire our younger generation.

Cream might be one of my top 5 songs by him. It's put together so well. Pure genius!

To me Cream is the type of hit that started a new type of pop songwriting from Prince. It's catchy, light weight, but has a nice elegant touch to it that noone can duplicate. I rarely listen to it at home, but I'll go bananas if it's played in a bar or club. I really sets the mood in a party setting to me. I kinda feel his last album has a similar touch to many of the songs. He is never too edgy. Doesn't scare away people. But it is still interesting enough for me to want to listen to it more. I love having it in the background while I do something else. Rocknrollloveaffair is one of those with similar qualities, but maybe not the same hit potential.

Glad the tone has turned more +ive, because Cream was the song where Prince offered me the Purple Kool Aid and Purple needle and I have been a funk junkie ever since. I can't be unique, there must be a whole bunch of people who became Prince fans due to Cream and Gett Off. I got into it with Cream first and then found Gett Off and bumped it and went further to fandom. The next step logically was the mother album.

I totally agree with you here. Cream is not necessarily the type of music that I am really waiting for when it come to new Prince music, but it is catchy and effective for sure!
