Which Prince "freakiest glasses" song is better Wally or Billy?

Which song that shares some of the same lyrics do you like better? For me its Billy because of all the incredible guitar playing he does for almost 15 minutes!what says u?

It's hard to say as both versions of "Billy" are from rehearsals. I love them both but can't really compare them to a finshed studio track like Wally

Bitch this ain't the movies

If he had made a video of either song woulda been cool if Bootsy did a guest appearance.

I'm listening to the Bill's Sunglasses (rehearsal-jam/soundcheck) and this is soul electrifyingly dark and murkily lush


Just so uniquely 'Purple Music'

Billy has that crazy-ass SCORCHING guitar that just keeps going and going. Never get tired of it.

I love Wally too, but Billy wins this one...

Even the way hs sings 'Billy, where'd U Get thos Glasses?' sound tragic, angst, like he's trying to distract himself from dealing with loss or pain. Prince and the band are just lost in that simmering purple haze
