PrintableNewpowerlove,
You're absolutely right. Everybody's got a different favorite Prince song... My faves on SOTT are actually Sunshine and Slow Love, two that you tend to skip over. In fact, I've heard lots of people on here tend to skip over those two. I don't know why, but I love those songs so much! | |

2. The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker (Could a song be more demo yet so cool. Should release it now in this form. Would be a hit.) 3. Adore (Classic love song, not mushy, and all girls like it) 4. Strange Relationship (This would have been huge) 5. If I Was Your Girlfriend (At the time Princes most nasty song, I remember it being played on radio for the first time and DJ almost destoys the needle on the record when Prince gets to the climax at the end. 1987 was not ready for this) 6. Sign O The Times ( Imagery still applys to this day, brilliant in all ways) 7. Hot Thing (What a dance song this was and the ext.version was even hotter. This was the "Gett Off" of it's day. A huge urban hit when I was 15) 8.U Got The Look (What can I say it spent 6months on Billboard Hot 100. From June to Jan. They played it so much om radio and MTV I had 2 like it) 9. Housequake (Just fuckin cool) 10. It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night ( I loved the constant change ups and the complete party feel) 11. I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man ( I like the Movie version better because of the guitar solo, used play that part over and over again) 12. The Cross (Brilliant once again, Prince as a Rocker) 13. Forever In My Life ( Once again it was the movie version that I got hooked on) 14. Play In The Sunshine (Started off as my favorite, but ended up falling down the list each year as I grew older) 15. It (Was my favorite from 1988-1990 from this LP) 16. Slow Love (Great but sappy) SOTT is Prince's best hands down, the concept was unbelievable, but the legend was even more so. What I speak of is the rumors of it being originally a Triple Lp (Crystal Ball) and rumors about "The Dawn". The one I liked best was the one about how there was another LP coming out right after this one wrapped in black paper with no label of any kind, was supposed to be his funkiest yet. That would have sold millions had it been released at that time (probably is more than 5 Million Bootlegs of it out there anyway> Yo just about everything that I have read of your posts recently I find myself agreeing with. Great post! "That...magic, the start of something revolutionary-the Minneapolis Sound, we should cherish it and not punish prince for not being able to replicate it."-Dreamshaman32 | |

Great post! Thanks. By the way nice AVATAR. Kind of reminds me of a drunk ass pimped out tennis ball. Hell!

Glad to see some more low ratings for Adore.
I'll never understand the fuss over this song... it's so vomit-inducing. | |

http://princetext.tripod...._sott.html Proof yet again, that Kurt Loder has no ears... Sample text: There are also key bits by percussionist-singer Sheila E., ex-Revolutionaries Lisa Coleman and Wendy Melvoin, Wendy's sister Susannah Melvoin, pop singer Sheena Easton and a new vocalist named Camille. | |
