Moonbeam said: Defying convention, this song showcased funk without bass with an invigorating story of a man attempting to exorcise his personal demons, complete with devastating guitar work and guttural screams. Six of the most colorful, raw and experimental minutes of music history.

With 19 votes for When Doves Cry TO 15 votes for Billie Jean, there was no way in hell that Prince-fans were going to allow Michael the #1 spot on a Prince fan site. 2. Madonna finish at #4. I predicted tha she would be #3. I was close! [Edited 5/25/10 18:21pm] | |

So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |

It's Tricky is probably, for me, their third best single (King of Rock is Number 2 for me); but the orgers have speaked: they consider Rock Box the best old-school rap song of all time | |

That is a great song by my favorite hip-hop group. I'd have to go with "Fight the Power" as the best rap single of all time, though. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

JoeTyler said: AlexdeParis said: "Electric Chair" is definitely the highlight IMO. and Scandalous and the remixes of The Future and Partyman Even though I like Scandalous, I always thought it was a bit of a Do Me Baby 2.0; I often have that with his ballads; International Lover, Insatiable. Even Adore, but he nailed it with that one, I thought and should have left the "I croon myself though some verses and choruses and end with talking dirty"-format alone. And the Purple Party Mix is just fun, nothing substantial, like the The Future Remix. >> | |

It's too bad Electric Chair didn't chart high on Billboards like it should have, IMO. 2. The biggest flawed with Batdance is also the biggest selling point to me; It's classic 80's dated sound. | |

I love "Batdance", "Electric Chair", "The Future" and all of the other Batman tracks mentioned here. The only one I'm not crazy about is "Lemon Crush". Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |
