"controversy", though amazing, is not even the best song on 'controversy', also it would not be the best song on 'dirty mind'

he just wants to perform oral sex on you until you have a coronary, i don't understand what's so over the top about that

i'm just not into demos-turned-album, i guess -- i get annoyed with people who say Nebraska is Springsteen's best too
― some dude, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 03:01 (fourteen years ago)
maybe i would know what was so filthy and great about Dirty Mind if the lyrics were remotely as audible as they are on pretty much every other Prince album
― some dude, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 03:03 (fourteen years ago)
basically he deflowers a girl in her father's car, has an unsatisfying threesome, performs oral on a recently wed nubile, and fucks his imaginary sister

And gets asked if he's gay somewhere along Lagoon Avenue.

And contemplates changing the sheets.
any non fans/Prince-curious people out there discovered any tracks they really love so far?
I didn't have the B-sides disc from Hits until this poll so 17 Days, She's Always in My Hair and Erotic City are the big revelations from this poll.

aw man
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:19 (fourteen years ago)
was really hoping this would be #1 given how the votes had played out
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:20 (fourteen years ago)
Sorry but wasn't 'Kiss' number 10?...
― The Pastiche Liberation Front (sonnyboy), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:23 (fourteen years ago)
the Mario Paint version of "Kiss" was not #10, no
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:26 (fourteen years ago)
...which is a travesty to say the least
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:27 (fourteen years ago)
Ha ha see what you did there...
― The Pastiche Liberation Front (sonnyboy), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:33 (fourteen years ago)
Damn U all.
― third-generation stripper (Eric H.), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:39 (fourteen years ago)
Hate the idea of something easy like "When Doves Cry" ending up at #1.
well... it's gonna happen so
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:40 (fourteen years ago)
Never realized that slow zoom into Appolonia was lifted from Nashville.

xpost Hate to break it to you Prince, but bass lines are important.
― third-generation stripper (Eric H.), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:42 (fourteen years ago)
not in that song, tho
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:43 (fourteen years ago)
My #1 crashing out early there.
― Now he's doing horse (DL), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:45 (fourteen years ago)
xpost Nothing in that song's important.
― third-generation stripper (Eric H.), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:45 (fourteen years ago)
OK, I'm exaggerating. I'm just angry "Beautiful Ones" couldn't even crack the top 5. You bastards.
― third-generation stripper (Eric H.), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:46 (fourteen years ago)
don't yell at me, I voted for it!
of course I also voted for "When Doves Cry", but it was below "The Beautiful Ones"
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 13:48 (fourteen years ago)
Pretty sure I only voted for the Purple Rain tracks that are destined to now place below the Purple Rain tracks I didn't vote for.

Well, my plan to grousingly call the songs placing #1-#9 overrated is now foiled.

Ridiculous. Also seems like we need an "Unreleased Prince" poll...

that is not a nice thing you just did, Alfred

Haha! Didn't notice Alfred posted that.

"The Beautiful Ones" was my #1 too.
― Euler, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 14:23 (fourteen years ago)
My top 3 have all shown up now.
― third-generation stripper (Eric H.), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 14:24 (fourteen years ago)
I rather liked "3 Chains 'O' Gold" in '92!

"Erotic City" clearly scores higher on the "passion index," in every sense.

Three first places and higher than Raspberry Beret? Huh.
From wedding-DJ experiences I can vouch that Raspberry Beret is the only failsafe Prince tune. Even Kiss loses a few people. And Erotic City… well let's just say I won't be invited to the anniversary party.
― Now he's doing horse (DL), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:06 (fourteen years ago)
Didn't vote for Raspberry Beret. I know it's the kind of song I should like, but I didn't even care for it when it was new.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:10 (fourteen years ago)
DID vote for I Wanna Be Your Lover, so...YAY!
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:11 (fourteen years ago)
"Pop Life" > "Raspberry Beret"
― third-generation stripper (Eric H.), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:12 (fourteen years ago)
Very much so!
