Not often I post, but I couldn't resist voicing my opinion:

If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life
What Do U Want Me 2 Do?
The Marrying Kind
Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance
Reflection
Musicology
On The Couch
A Million Days
Cinnamon Girl
Dear Mr. Man
Call My Name
Life O' The Party

I can't believe I once said Musicology would not spawn any classics.

Obviously, The Marrying Kind, Call My Name, and On the Couch will go down in history as quintessential Prince songs.

musicology
the marrying kind
call my name

ICPC
on the couch
million days
if i was the man in your life
dear mr man
what do you want me to do

Good
Illusion Coma Pimp & Circumstance

So So
the marrying kind

Garbage
cinnamon girl

My rankings have changed substantially as they always do with Prince's albums
Ranking them is misleading because I really like a lot of them equally. The album does not have a clear "Drop Dead" song that will reside in my collection of the the elite but they are all very strong, tier 2 songs (say out of 10 tiers)

1) Call My Name
2) Musicology
3) Reflection
4) ICPC
5) Million days
6) Life of the Party
7) If I was/ Marrying kind
8) Dear Mr Man
9) Cinammon girl
10) WDYWMTDG
11) On the couch (Really have not given this one a fair shot yet)

1. What Do U Want Me 2 Do ("boy oh boy-what a scam"- how can you resist)
2. Marrying Kind/Man in UR Life (I consider them one song, and how can you not love a song that uses the word "trifling?")
3. ICPC ("That ain't right. Flourescent every night."--Prince has jokes)
4. Musicology (Memories from the concert put this one on the list)
5. Life of the Party (I think it helps that first time I heard it I heard it live)
6. Dear Mr. Man ("ain't nothin affirmative about yo actions"---classic)
7. Reflection (I like it a lot, makes me nostalgic-wish it was longer)
8. On the Couch (I do like Al Green, but if I didn't I would hate this song)

The next three I usually skip because I am NOT feeling them at all.

9. Cinammon Girl (I am okay until the chorus, and then I have to move on to the next song)
10. A Million Days (I dig the end of the song, but the rest sounds just uninspired to me)
11. Call My Name (I just really don't like this song-I don't really know why. I guess I don't feel that it has the same emotion behind it as something like Adore)

I gotta agree with you there.
I keep trying to like this song but
it just stinks.
How anyone can see this a possible single escapes me.
Sounds like a C&D out-take to me.

The good thing about the album is that I really don't have to skip too often, the bad thing is it doesn't contain any true classics. Although some songs come close...

What I find interesting is that so many of you rank What Do You Want Me To Do pretty high. I dunno, it's such a middle of the road song for him - good, but not even in the top 5 on the album IMO. That's what's great about us fans I guess - there's truly something for everybody
