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

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

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

xpost Hate to break it to you Prince, but bass lines are important.

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)

― 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.

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

that is not a nice thing you just did, Alfred

"The Beautiful Ones" was my #1 too.

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!
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:12 (fourteen years ago)
I mean, I like "Beret" fine, but I'm not feeling it as a top 10'er.
― third-generation stripper (Eric H.), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:15 (fourteen years ago)
that's most of mine taken care of, i doubt 'a love bizarre' 'computer blue' 'all the critics love u in new york' 'forever in my life' or 'manic monday' will make it now. guessing 'when doves cry' 'little red corvette' 'do me, baby' 'when you were mine' and, um, 'diamonds and pearls'? am i missing something?
― second only to popcorn (or something), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:23 (fourteen years ago)
I'm guessing "Kiss" for real.
― third-generation stripper (Eric H.), Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:24 (fourteen years ago)
Yeah, there's no way Kiss isn't on this poll. The fact it's in the top 5 really isn't surprising.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 August 2011 15:24 (fourteen years ago)
Julia Roberts ruined that song for me.
