The classic Prince 'worst' tracks that seem to get most attention on here:

Purple & Gold - that's a given

Jughead - obvs bad but decent NPG music

Screwdriver - I like this. 'I'm your driver, you're my screw' - cheesy but funny line

The United States of Division - terrible chorus so yes

Cause & Effect - don't mind it

I'd also add Resolution. My 5 year old could have wrote it

Amazing. Resolution is among my favorite Prince tracks. It is very uplifting. Amzing how we all have vastly different views on some of his work. I think that is further evidence of his genius.

Iโ€™d go for cheesy songs such as The Arms of Orion and Life of the Partyโ€™s lyrics are simply embarrassing

I Rock, Therefore I Am. It was doomed as soon as he picked that abysmal title. And the song totally lived up to how bad the title was.

My 5 year old knows that "could have WRITTEN" (or "could've written") is proper (but gives you credit for not writing "could of wrote"). That being said, as much as I like Resolution, I'd really like to hear other songs your 5 year old has wrote. (Oops)

Some of these choices I see come up over and over again but many of them seem to come down to people's dislike of the lyrics, which I can understand but doesn't make for shitty song. Jughead, Poom Poom, Life o the Party, Another Like Me, I Rock Therefore I am, Push, Orion...

Instrumentally, many of these are perfectly fine.

I have a serious hate for Everybody Loves Me but not sure it's his worst.

well said...Orion was a cheesy song that was out of place on Batman, but wouldve fit on Diamonds & Pearls, or placement on a Disney Movie soundtrack...jughead, life o the party, poom poom, and push have solid beats...Another Like Me and I Rock therefore i Am, are average, but not wack... poom poom vocals are cringeworthy, tho...i actually like Jughead and Life O The Party alot...Pussy Control and Like A Mack are the ONLY Prince songs i hate everything about

Yeah, I like the tune too, but underage lesbian 4-ways are definitely pushing it, even for Prince. lol

Just off the top of my head:

Shut It Down - Bass solo jams at the end, but the lyrics and delivery make me cringe.

-

Chocolate Box - Loved Discojellyfish, then he made it into a full ass song and decided to "rock the socks" off any girl that comes his way.

-

I Wanna Melt With You - I do love this song, but the "river of blood" lyric is not okay...

... and 'Jughead' at least, sounded contemporary when it was released.


It didn't. It sounded like Prince trying desperately to be hip and getting it all wrong.

You say that like Prince was an equivalent to Barry Manilow or something? These ARE the sorts of subjects Prince wrote about!

Yeah, was always a fan of this. There's charm in its simplicity.

So many people don't get this. When I see someone reply with a list in one of these kind of threads I just stop reading the reply. The whole point is to CHOOSE.

I played this song once at a college bar in the Bronx two years ago to troll a group of dudes who were hogging the jukebox. One of the guys was getting so irritated and kept asking why the song was so long ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Yes I've always thought Arms Of Orion was his Disney or even James Bond song.
.
Pussy Control is misunderstood! His funny take on female empowerment with some great lines:
'Pussy got bank in her pocket, before she got dick in her drawers!'
.
'Don't think about calling her a ho, you juvenile delinquent!'

Geez...sure are some great tunes being hated on by Prince fans up in here!

(Except "Purple & Gold". Fuck that song.)

Anybody who doesn't get Cloreen Bacon Skin is missing a whole lot about Prince, and musicians for that matter. That piece of work makes me laugh out loud every time I play it. Your loss.
