If Tracks Are Good, Let's Get 2 Pollin - PRINCE TRACKS POLL RESULTS

highest of yours was Billy Jack Bitch at 79 (with one other vote)

I count 2, maybe 3 not horrible songs.

these ones just missed out:

51. Sister
52. Bob George
53. Another Lonely Christmas
54. Delirious
55. Tambourine
56. I Wish U Heaven
57. Pink Cashmere
58. Nasty Girl (Vanity 6)
59. Bambi
60. Anotherloveholenyohead

58. Nasty Girl (Vanity 6)

You dropped the ball on this one, ILM.

We need anotherpollapollapollapollinyohead

was i the only one honest enough to vote for 'let's go crazy'?

oh nevermind, didn't see it at #21 there

Normally I hate it when something unknown to me wins but not here, well done you lot.

When You Were Mine is unknown to you? O_O

58. Nasty Girl (Vanity 6)
60. Anotherloveholenyohead

I did my part to get these in the top 50, but alas it was not meant to be.

Here was my list--not real sexy, because I hadn't played some of these albums in a while and didn't get to revisit them all...

1-Dirty Mind
2-I Wish U Heaven
3-When Doves Cry
4-Beautiful Ones
5-Purple Rain
6-Sometimes It Snows in April
7-The Most Beautiful Girl in the World
8-Little Red Corvette
9-I Wanna Be Your Lover
10-I Would Die 4 U
11-Condition of the Heart
12-I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
13-Lady Cab Driver
14-Annie Christian
15-Controversy
16-Under the Cherry Moon
17-The Morning Papers
18-When U Were Mine
19-Lolita
20-Emale

most of 51-60 would have been on my list had i voted

ah well

Uh xp - not much of a fan compared to u heads I guess.

I'm the most predictable part-time Prince fan alive:

1. "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" (shorter 45 version)
2. "Mountains"
3. "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Sinead O'Connor)
4. "Raspberry Beret"
5. "Erotic City"
6. "When You Were Mine" (Prince)
7. "The Glamorous Life" (Sheila E)
8. "U Got the Look"
9. "When You Were Mine" (Cyndi Lauper)
10. "Alphabet St."

I'd also completely forgotten about Chaka Khan's "I Feel for You," otherwise I would have dropped the duplicate "When You Were Mine" and been 10 for 10.

Here's my hastily put together list. Wish more (any?) unreleased stuff made it in:

18. Nothing Compares 2 U (The Family)

Sister, Erotic City and Nasty Girl were all cut last minute, and I stupidly forgot about Another Lonely Christmas. Feel particularly bad about Nasty Girl.

Woah didn't see that one coming but great choice...Jamie any chance you can post everyone's top 20's??...please...

My ballot:
01. Erotic City

Biggest omissions in hindsight were "Let's Pretend We're Married", "Shockadelica" & the Time's "777-9311"; surprised "Housequake" didn't make the top 60!

1) When Doves Cry

5) I Love U in Me

20 I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

Dorothy Parker is a funny song... it doesn't have anything to do with the actual Dorothy Parker, did he just like the sound of her name or something?

I guess so - it's full of peculiar, slightly puzzling details like that - lyric's such a good fit for the wobbly, dreamy sound.

Glad "Pink Cashmere" got some love.
