If this has been done b4, I apologize. Since the concesus is that they are very similar, which track do U like better? 2 me Satisfied burns a little slower, and On The Couch is already revved up. I personally prefer On The Couch. I appreciate the organ in both tracks, I don't mind Prince singing his own backup, however thats the only thing I would change about both tracks, I've always wondered how awesome it would be with a female voice on backup, or just someone other than Prince.

Couch. It's church.

I knew I'd find you in here. Do you often throw your boxers at the speakers in church?

"If this has been done before" - translation "I didn't look".

What's a concesus?

2 boring songs... Lets be completely honest.

Not far from the truth. I wouldn't know "On the Couch" if I heard it. I hate that album. "Satisfied" is moderately cool, but I ain't humming it.

both are kind of a snooze but Satisfied is better

Never been a big fan of either comparatively. Prefer call my name, insatiable, te amo corazon, get blue, scandalous, Shhh, soul sanctuary to name but a few.

If I had to choose I would choose on the couch I believe.

sorry pal, was typing fast, concensus is obviously what I was going 4. Also, I did not look, U R correct. I've already ordered myself 2 the timeout corner.

That's literally the only thing those songs have going for them. Nobody does backing vocals like Prince. [Edited 6/13/19 11:00am]

Prince backing vocals are the best. So distinctive. Always pop without detracting from the song. For Your, Love u in me, Girl, the start of illusion coma pimp and circumstance, the entire ep of The beautiful Experience, The continental. So many, many.

I dislike both equally and never listen to them.

I got satisfied on the couch.

So....both?

Listening to them for the first time in like 5 years, and they both still do nothing for me. It’s like he’s trying to capture a sound he use to be good at, but there’s hardly anything interesting going on in both of these tracks. I suppose Satisfied is the stronger song, but it’s nothing special like Do Me, Baby or Slow Love. The highlights of these might be excellent vocals, but he has nothing to really work with. It’s not like he has a good memorable melody to sing

Sounds like an uninspired Al Green, Bill Withers... But the strange thing is, Prince's soul songs were never like that, he always had his own unique ballad...

These two songs tbh might be some of the most boring songs he has released on any official album.

I enjoyed the live versions of Satisfied, and the audience seemed to respond to it as well.

On the couch

These became a pretty templated form of ballad for Prince in the 2000s, the same way I think of

When 2 R In Love
Scandalous
Insatiable
Damn U

Between the two, I thought On the Couch was a bit better, but that might just be because it came first.

On the Couch is a good song.

Haven't heard nan in a minute, but from memory I'd say Satisfied.

Paint-by-numbers soul, the both (in my opinion). They sound like the kind of thing you'd play at a cocktail party if the people wouldn't take no for an answer and you wanted to satisfy them quickly without bringin' down the mood.
