If the best songs on the album are covers, than that's not a good sign. That said, 4 Ever is a nice ballad, so I'll choose that one. | |

. Prince's cover of Crimson and Clover is a combination of the songs Crimson & Clover and Wild Thing. . Colonized Mind is not a cover. . Prince wrote the song Colonized Mind. . "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Donald Trump | |

I have been listening a lot this album, it's guitar-driven ; my favorite songs except the two aforementioned ones are :
Wall Of Berlin
From the Lotus (with a Santana-esque guitar)
Boom (more Hendrix here)
Curiously 'Dreamer' is not by far my favorite rock track of him (too repetitive in my opinion) ; i prefer to listen to 'Fury', 'Let's go crazy', 'Redhead Stepchild' or 'Pretzelbodylogic', among many other ones. | |

Hard to say such a great album. But favourites definitely From the lotus, Boom, Colonised Mind and Money for its fun loving attitude. "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |

Calling it a cover is overkill, but "Colonized Mind" is heavily reminiscent of Miriam Makeba's "Quit It".
But if that wasn't your rationale - why did you exclude those two?
My fave has always been "$". | |

. Thanks for telling me about Quit It by Miriam Makeba. . After listening to it I think that it is fair to say that Colonized Mind is not a cover of Quit It, Colonized Mind is a rip off of Quit It. . Colonized Mind is my favorite song on Lotusflow3r . [Edited 11/18/16 9:48am] "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Donald Trump | |

I thought the Colonized Mind/Quit It thing was common knowledge. I guess it wasn't... But still, it means that the two best songs on Lotusflower aren't Prince originals... And Dreamer is a little too close to Jimi Hendrix' work to be called a great Prince song... And $, Wall of Berlin and Feel Good (etc) really are average songs... So there really aren't a lot of good original Prince songs on this album... But, like I said, I still like it because of the guitar sound... | |

Dreamer Wall of Berlin Boom "Colonized Mind" is a rip-off, but I loved the guitar solos it inspired in concert. I pretty much love this album from beginning to end. It may not be the Princiest album, but I had been wanting a Jimi-inspired, guitar-driven album. I always thought he excelled more at rock in the latter part of his career. | |

Hard to choose one: Boom, Dreamer and the two instrumentals But what I love most about this album is the psychedelic mood all over it. And Prince is killing on he guitar. |
