But, for me...a good example would be "Eye Know" (complexity of arrangement)...well, that and "Kiss" (simplicity)...or maybe..."Soft & Wet" (sexual content)...hell even... I could go on all day!!! Just pick one from his extensive catalogue, and you'll be right on!! | |

Uh...
"Come" (go ahead, say something smart) "Adore" "Let's Work" "The Everlasting Now" "Anotherloverholeinyohead" There are too many to name. Brilliance can be defined in a variety of ways, and Prince has music to fit them all. Shiny. The Normal Whores Club | |

Starfish & Coffee is a good one for a beginner. Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire | |

When U Were Mine--It's simple brilliance, plus how great of an overall song it is.
All The Critics Love U In NY--Great, eclectic ideas, overall cascade of wonderment. Darling Nikki, Computer Blue, The Beautiful Onee--Just for sheer audacious beauty and brilliance. The three best songs anyone would want to hear. Take Me With You--A Great Song, but with that jaw dropping string section part. Greatest use of classical music in pop ever! Condition Of The Heart--Might irritate a non-fan, because of how weird the song is. But this brilliant and lovely song is in a league all it's own. One of the greatest single chorus's I have ever heard. Christopher Tracy's Parade, for that amazing use of the cascading steel drums. What a wonderful idea. Most of SOTT, the album. Every song on the damned thing is eclectic, artistic, highly complex and drop dead wonderful. Take your pick. Dance On--Underrated song. Sounds like Public Enemy samples on speed. Great chorus and just odd, weird sound colages, plus funky as all duck. lol Irrisistable Bitch--Odd song, really odd, but oh so good. Amazing originality. Girl, long version. Another weird one. Amazing, how such a simple synth line could seem so complex. You hum in to yourself like in an insane asylum. amazing. Another Lonely Christmas--Sheer song writing joy. Great, gritty singing from P There's Other's Here With U--May be P's most original song ever. Strange, off the wall melody, if you could call it that. P had to be doing drugs at the time. Creepy vibe as well. Who says P just rips off JB and Parliament? Wonderful Ass--Wow, how complex is this song? this is like Classical music, but in pop form. Ground breaking. Uh Huh--Great song. Too bad he wasted it on a pepsi free commercial. Dolphin--Simple, but original and great rock song. The entire Truth Album! Especially, Dionne with it's odd song structures. All you others say Hell Yea!! | |

The Ladder is far from a great song. The lyrics make no sense, and the music is dreary spiritual stuff. All you others say Hell Yea!! | |
