A slightly different angle of the many "whats your favorite song" threads.
Rank all 12 songs from Musicology from 1 (best) to 12 (worst). After a week or so I will calculate everyones list (12 points for #1, 11 points for #2, 10 points #3 etc...) and come up with the Orgs unoffical ranking of Musicology songs. I realilize as with every Prince album your ranking will change over time , but lets see what we come up with . Just by reading various posts so far I'm predicting Illuison ,Coma... will head the list and Life O the Party will bring up the rear, but who knows.

1. If eye was the man....
2. ICPC
3. The Marrying Kind
4. Musicology
5. A Million Days
6. Call My Name

O.K., I'm basing my list on the songs that I would not skip and/or play over and over again:

1. What do u want me 2 do [I could play over and over on account of the bass/linn drum]
2. The Marrying Kind [his vocals, guitar, passion]
3. If eye was the man.... [a continuation of the raw energy, emotion and passion]
4. Call My name [gospel, R&B soul, call and response; he needs to release on black radio]
5. On the Couch [again, gospel, bluesy, R&B feel]
6. Musicology
7. A Million Days
8. Reflection
9. ICPC [cheesy lyrics]
10. Life O' The Party
11. Dear Mr. Man [lyrics are cheesy, not subtle or thought-provoking, too preachy]
12. Cinnamon Girl

6 Cinnamon Girl
7 A Million Days

other than putting life o' the party at the end, that was really hard. i am in love with almost every song in this cd!

the first 7 songs (of my list) are all my favorite track.
