Ok, I'm seeing some songs that are re-occuring when people mention them.

I like AnotherLove and especially Crimson and Clover. But the only reason why I didn't put them in my list is because they're covers. And it's fine to have them in your own list. But just for me personally, I like to not have covers for things like this.

And I was very, very close to putting Musicology as track #2 on my list. (That way, at the end of the track the radio-static segue would go into the Clouds similar segue nicely. But I chose Free Urself over it.

And I choosing between Colonized Mind and Dreamer. Love both of them. But, I like CM better, I guess.

And, yeah it is tough lol

I don't get why you hate Prince's hip-hop/rap attempts on Face Down and yet rate "Y Should Eye Do That When Eye Can Do This"?




Face Down has a dragging beat that does nothing...Prince's delivery sounds like a poor uninspired Beastie Boys parody and the content is weak and corny ...Dead Like Elvis ?...saying motherfucker like every 8 bars or so?...on Y Should Eye, he actually makes a genuine attempt at what was a more current rhyme scene for that era...and the drum sequencing of that James Brown loop, is funky as hell...face down is a rap parody...Y Should Eye Do That, is hiphop...BIG difference...
