Lesser known Prince songs that would appeal to casual fans I am a die hard fan Prince myself (like most on this forum) but i was wondering how many lesser known Prince songs would appeal to casual fans or people who aren't familiar with Prince's work
My picks:
Love Sign- catchy chorus
I wonder- ditto, this should have been released on the radio
All day all night- like the above
I'm Yours- i love the melody here, has the real potential to be a smash pop hit

agreed with Endorphinmachine, thats an amazing rocker.
Anna Stesia and And God Created Woman are masterpieces but i feel they appeal more to dieheards like us.
When the lights go down is another great one | |

The Undertaker session.....whether it´s the whole video or just the audio, most of my non-Prince fan friends are always surprised and amazed to hear it and can´t believe it´s Prince. With just Mike B. and Sonny T. . Open Book....many friends who´ve heard this song like it immediately. . Power Fantastic. . She´s Always In My Hair.

One that jumps to mind is "So Far, So Pleased". It feels like a lost hit. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

I almost forgot about this one. This is GREAT track, great pick.
Get Blue should have been on Diamonds and Pearls | |

Just trying to think of the ones that helped to turn *me* from a casual into a hardcore fan:
Lust U Always (problematic lyrically obviously, but so mega-catchy) Shockadelica The Max Pink Cashmere Pope Power Fantastic Come (Beautiful Experience version) Love Sign Shhh Joint 2 Joint Interactive Get on the Boat Clouds Gold Standard Like a Mack 1000 X's & O's Xtralovable Groovy Potential
I haven't bothered listing much pre-Love Symbol stuff, as I think (unpopular opinion alert) almost all of the Prince songs before then that most casual fans would be hooked by were hits, TBH.

I always thought "The One U Wanna C" would have been a huge hit if released and slightly remixed. Maybe as a duet with Sherryl Crow...

As much as I love Shockadelica, I don't think would appeal to casual listeners, it would sound weird. | |

I always felt that Blue Light would have been a great pick for a single and would have had mass appeal with a radio audience and definitely casual fans. | |

As a former casual fan, these were some lesser-known songs that bridged the gap: Crazy You My Love is Forever She's Always in my Hair Money Don't Matter 2 Night Head If I Was Your Girlfriend Gigolos Get Lonely Too Erotic City 17 Days DMSR When We're Dancing Close and Slow 1000 Xs and Os Breakfast Can Wait [Edited 7/12/20 14:58pm] [Edited 7/12/20 14:58pm] Prince: 1958-infinity.
