What Is The Most Underrated/Overrated B-Side & Outtake??

Most underrated B-Side "Sex" & "Another Lonely Christmas": I hardly hear a mention about those songs.

Most underrated Outtake "Wet Dream Cousin" & "Lust U Always" and "Possessed": Funky instrumentals and song but NOPE not a mention again.

---

Most overrated B-Side "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore": don't hound me, this is a great # but there're much betta B-sides IMHO.

Most overrated outtake "Moonbeam Levels": Its a cool # but its very overexposed in here. However, it would be betta if Prince replaced "Free" by that song.

I cant really say whether they're underrated or overrated. Personally B-Sides and Outtakes I really like that people dont seem 2 mention R...

Do Yourself a Favour-I think thats a really classy song. Good lyrics.

Girl-I get the impression this song isnt well liked amongst some of us here! I personally think its quite sexy, I like it!

As 4 overrated...

Empty Room-As much as I think its good, Im not a huge fan of this song. Sorry Savage!!

OVERATED B-Side: How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore...never really been a big fan of it.

OVERATED OUTTAKE:G-Spot...my best friend swears by this song, but 2 me it's just boring and lifeless. Doesn't do anything 4 me.

UNDERATED B-Side: Hello... I slept on this song 4 a while, but after hearing it one day, it just blew me away. The light hearted music and lyrics are so cool. Shows that some of Prince's best work isn't all complex.

UNDERATED OUTTAKES: Mind Bells and Spirit...I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these 2 songs. Mind Bells 4 the melody and the music all around (though the chorus is a little lame), and Spirit 4 the lyrics. Very inspirational.

Moonbeam Levels is FAR from overrated. wink

Over-rated B-Side: Love or $. There's a reason it wasn't on The Hits/B-Sides

Under-rated B-Side: Loveleft, Loveright. This is my very favorite!

Over-rated outtake: All My Dreams. Blah.

Under-rated outtake: Lisa or Player. I never hear anyone say anything about these songs.

Most overrated B-side: "I Love U In Me"---it's an okay song,but nothing special.I actually think it's boring.

Most underrated B-side: "Girl"---love this song! Should have appeared on the 'ATWIAD' album instead of the lame "Tambourine".

Most overrated outtake: "In All My Dreams"---can't see why so many of you think this is a masterpiece.

Most underrated outtake: "Heaven"---not to be confused with "A Place In Heaven".

"Tamborine" is a GREAT song! biggrin I love "Girl" too though. I've actually made a version of the album including all 3 B-sides and it works nicely. biggrin

Underrated B-side: Feel U Up (Not a masterpiece by any means, but still a very nice groove that seems to be totally forgotten by most people)

Overrated B-side: Irresistible Bitch (Prince seems to adore it and many others too, but to me it´s just boring)

Underrated outtake: Alphabet St Blues (I´d take this before the original (?) any day. At least the version that I´ve heard. It´s raw, emotional, inventive. Very cool.)

Overrated outtake: In a Large Room With No Light (Everything about it annoys me)

I know alot of fans love "Tambourine" but it just doesn't do anything for me."Girl",on the other hand,is amazing.I really think "Girl" or "She's Always In My Hair" should have taken the place of "Tambourine" on the album.Let "Tambourine" be the B-side!...lol...

Underrated Outtake: "Dream Factory" Bass chords are cool!
Overrated Outtake: "Days of Wild" Big deal!
