This one's really difficult being one of my favourite albums.

I can't split Shhh and Billy Jack Bitch.

Eye Hate U is legendary.....in the same vein as The Beautiful Ones. A quintessential Prince track.

'Eye Hate U' was my favorite for a long time but it got bumped by 'Shhh' a couple of days ago.

They're both amazing.

Can we be friends?

That´s a tough one because the album versions sound so drastically different compared to the live versions.

As far as album versions go, I´d say I like I Hate U and Dolphin the most.

But Shhh.... is such a great live song, and as far as I recall, he never played the same version twice back then....there was always a little bit of variation everytime he played that song in the mid 90s.

.

Billy Jack Bitch is another great album song (not so great live) but the fact that it is more or less about CJ turns me off of that song. lol

.

Now and Days of Wild are great live songs, but as Prince himself once admitted, it was very difficult to find the one quintessential version of Days of Wild, and the studio version(s) never did the song any justice, that´s probably why it did not end up on the album. Now is ok on the album but better live.

-

Gold is pretty good on the album and live but I wish it would sound a bit rawer, less polished, and with less synths.

.

Shy is a great song, too.

.

But, all in all, I´d go with I Hate U and Dolphin as far as album songs go.

eye literally love every song on prince's The Gold Experience, except "Shy". I took it out of my CD rip, and resegued the before and after songs to blend better.

This is a difficult choice, so many good songs here. I have to say it is between eye hate U, Dolphin, or Gold, depending on the mood.

The thing is... He never played eye Hate U live (only fragments), while he played Shhh to death... Hmmm... Imagine he'd played the full version of eye Hate U in concert... Including the "this court is now in session" part... Folks would have fainted... gotten delirious...

This whole album is so good!

But my go-to's are 319, Endorphinmachine & Gold.

Seriously though, no bad song on this one in my opinion!

But he did play "eye Hate U" as a regular song on the Ultimate Live Experience tour.

I forget how much of the whole song he did, but he was favoring TGE and Come material heavily during that tour.

Either "Gold" or "Shhh" (although "I'd rather do u after school like some homework" is quite possibly the worst lyric Prince ever wrote)


The guitar solo at the end of "Eye Hate U" might be my favorite of all his guitar work.
