fav prince song!

[billy_bob]

Vote for Controversy here, but it's a tough call innit.

 

[girasol]

was that the Lovesexy tour? Cos i saw him on that - he was amazing

Possibly, I can't remember the name of the tour...

I was a lot of years ago (91 or 92) and I think it was at Earl's Court, or Wembley Arena...

We were only 4 rows away from the stage, there was no standing area, only seats, and he was so near us! One of the best shows I've ever been to!

 

[corporate whore]

Ballad of Dorothy Parker, recently - sleazy.

Historically, I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man gets me going every time..

 

[tastebud]

i dunno, maybe get off, for nostalgia.

 

[dirtysanta]

sexy motherfucker without a doubt.

 

[purves grundy]

at the moment, it's lets pretend we're married. that is, as usual, liable to change...

Classic, that could top it for me too.

But I look at most of the posts in this thread and think exactly the same

eta: Actually, I'll add 'Controversy' to the list.

 

[killer b]

But I look at most of the posts in this thread and think exactly the same

he is the greatest songwriter of his generation, so it's to be expected...

 

[Yetman]

I feel for you - what a fucking tune

 

[Bazza]

Oh this is hard.

I will narrow it down to Controversy, Kiss, Gett Off, Sexy MF and Alphabet Street.

 

[ICB]

Nothing Compares 2 U.

agreed, alphabet st., when doves cry, feel4u, purple rain and kiss in the running as well.

not a big fan though, never understood all the fuss tbh

 

[goldenecitrone]

What's that one that starts 'Dearly beloved...'. I like that one.

 

[Pigeon]

If I was yr girlfriend.

When Doves Cry


(got a txt at 7.30am this morning asking if i wanted to go see him, have to admit i never got into his stuff but i love when doves cry)

 

[pootle]

Sometimes It Snows in April (which is being played at my funeral)

or

Raspberry Beret

It makes me sad beyond words that berets are about the only hat I can't wear

 

[ska invita]

Sign of the Times for me, every time innit

Did you know that Sign Of the TImes is the name of the seventh day adventist publication (like the witnesses Watchtower) - and Prince was brought up as a SDA, and struggled with it ever since. The track is all about the "end times"... poor fella.

Theres a track called seven , which is utter blaspehmy to all adventists (and serious chritsians) - lyrics mean nothing to you or I but its heresy:

Lots of religious hidden meanings in prince songs though...

anyway if i had to pick only one Prince track it would be "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night". "Parade" favourite album.

cheer up! might never 'appen!

 

[rhod]

Always loved from the otherwise slightly iffy Graffiti Bridge LP.

BTW whilst looking up this track on Youtube, I also came across which is seriously fucked up!

No i didn't but thanx for letting me know

Seven.

I've always loved it. And never tire of listening to it.

Let's Go Crazy shurly?

 

[blackadder]

Fave would be between Bambi and Joy in Repetition, but it changes depending on what mood I'm in. Lolita is a very summer song, so that will be my fave soon.

Joy in Repetition

Lolita

[Pugwall7]

When you were mine

 

[Macabre]

When you were mine

Seconded. Dirty Mind is an awesome album.

 

[Gee]

Mountains from Parade comes to mind. Anyone remember the Wendy & Lisa album 'fruit at the bottom'? loved that when it came out, for the die hard Prince fans maybe? not heard it in years.

 

[Gee]

just remembered 'I wanna be your lover' the man is a God

 

[Structaural]

Raspberry Berry -sends me right back to a particular moment in my life. Pretty hard to choose one though.

I went to that Lovesexy tour at Wembley too. I have to say his rendition of Nothing Compares 2 U was much, much better than Sinead O'Connors, even if she did cry in the video.
