Although I liked his remake of Betcha My Golly Wow, on the one hand I was a bit disappointed because up until then, Prince didn't record other people's songs. <BR/><BR/>Bridget Jones: If you haven't, you should check out Prince' orig. version of When You Were Mine. Also, thanks for the heads up on your new blog address.<BR/><BR/>Kid: Although I wouldn't turn it off if it came on the radio, Raspberry Beret isn't one of my favorite Prince tunes. Having said that, if it was a #1, I would've included it. <BR/><BR/>In my opinion, Prince is right up there with The Beatles when it comes to the quality of B-sides. He also had some strong album cuts that don't get alot of airplay anymore (for example, "International Lover" and "Lady Cabdriver" off the 1999 album).<BR/><BR/>X. Dell: Thanks for answering my question. Out of the ones you selected, the only one that might make my list would be "Erotic City". <BR/><BR/>Pop Art Diva: Now that you are out of your big band/swing phase, you should give Prince a listen. <BR/><BR/>Shannon: Cool, somebody else who likes Batdance. Even though it was a #1 hit, it seems to be one of his tunes that isn't highly regarded.<BR/><BR/>Don: You are preaching to the choir my man. When I set up this poll, I knew I had to make it so voters could select more than one song. I hope that you took the opportunity to vote more than once.

Since it only peaked at #2, it wasn't included in the poll. Otherwise, my personal preferences aside, it would have made the cut. <BR/><BR/>X.
