I find these 2 songs really emotional, sometimes resulting in slight watering of the eyes and a lump in my throat.

Many of them, I will include My Computer, Dreaming About U, Soul Sanctuary, Old Friends 4 Sale (original version) but that isn't official so there is no way could be underrated, 'cause at first is not even known.

"Dead On It", the Jughead of TBA.
It's great on so many levels.

"Temptation" gets bad rap too here on the Org,
and I don't get it. This is pure Prince, the bridge between the Nasty Years
and the Lovesexy spiritual revelation to come.

For a song that was Top 20 hit, it's surprisingly forgotten.

And they flow very well together when placed next to each other on a play list (if you cut out the applause fade-in from "Everlasting Now).

What makes a song underrated?

That's what I'm saying. I swear there is probably already a thread open on this exact same topic. It comes up every three months, and there is never a great answer. It's all relative. To ask a group of hardcore Prince fans what is underrated is sort of a misnomer. We know every song, front to back, forward and backward and in three different languages, four different keys, and 50% of us can play it on a children's piano (one of those that look like a hippopotamus).

Underrated means it hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. We're Prince fans. We've paid more attention to some Prince songs than Prince probably did himself! While he's fucking Mayte or Jill, we're dissecting "Baby" or "Solo". While he's trying on new clothes, we're examining (for the 27th time) "Strollin'" or "Courtin' Time".

To a Prince fan, no song is underrated. And if someone mentions that they mean "to the public", that's hypocritical because Prince fans adopt the same "charts don't mean anything" mantra that Prince adopted when his sales started to slump. Charts happen because of the public's attention to a song. So a Prince fan can't diss the charts, then bellyache when the public never picked up on "Something In the Water" or "Annie Christian".

Thread starter is 15, appears to have been a prince fan for about 6 months and is going through a phase of starting a new thread every time he hears a new song he likes. Don't worry about it.

A song so underrated it doesn't exist!

I ain't sweatin' him. My statements weren't mean, they were just true. I think once he learns more and more about Prince music, he'll see the truth in my statements.
