Listener comments!

  Fri. 10/7/11 3:03pm Cecile:

awesome, MN Jeff.
I'm still rooting for Sly Stone.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:04pm Cecile:

I mean Prince produces and writes his own stuff.
The Tempts didn't. It's almost like you should throw Smokey Robinson and Norman Whitfield in to the mix.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:05pm Cecile:

Now Prince vs SLy or the Tempts vs the Supremes - those are battles.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:07pm BodegaMan:

I thought Sly Stone too, but that doesn't quite do it for me - not enough output on Sly's part.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:08pm Prince:

(sitting in corner, bobbing head with the beat. Sucking on a lollipop.)
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:09pm Carmichael:

OK, here we go. Listening from afar.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:10pm Cecile:

if you go back and count the early recordsings, there is a great body of work there, and he's at least five years ahead of the game. His cover of You Really Got Me is amazing.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:13pm Bryant:

I hope someone has Prince's version of "Just My Imagination" queued up.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:13pm BlackBird:

Heard that Wax Poetics is working on a Prince issue...now, that's a "Housequake"
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:17pm Wizard's Sleeve:

Moist? Hmm...not sure if want.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:18pm Prince:

I'll do some digging on Sly then. Definitely not questioning the talent and vision.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:19pm Daniel:

I know this isn't what the competition's about, but I think that while Pylon doesn't hold a candle to either Prince or the Temptations, their song "Crazy" is the best earthquake anthem.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:22pm Cecile:

oooh, that is a good one, Daniel

I like Dennis Edwards's "Don't Look Any Further"
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:22pm BodegaMan:

Damn! Karma Sutra suite! you reminded me I had that mail-order cassette. And Chaos & Disorder. Good to get the suck-y side out of the way.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:23pm paul:

funny as soon as i heard "rain" i thought of this song before i thought of "purple rain"
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:23pm kata:

thank you, I love 'seventeen days'..
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:28pm Mr. Two Arms:

"I Wish It Would Rain" takes it, no question. One of the greatest songs ever performed.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:28pm J J:

Prince and Temptations for the a few hours? I can live with that.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:30pm Nate in Detroit:

This is awesome! Great idea for a friday afternoon. Is it going to last the entire show?
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:38pm BodegaMan:

DJ KG, I think you're thinking too much on your Prince selection. Peach is good, but it's a little too in the pocket. He can rock in more extraordinary ways.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:38pm seang:

Rock on baby
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:39pm efd:

So far it's the Temptations by a landslide in my book.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:39pm Cecile:

temps win this round.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:39pm pangborn:

Prince doing "Temptation". Now that rocks, among other things.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:39pm Gunner Nelson:

Peach is what you select for rock? Sounds slightly like bang a gong. Weak.This Temptations song is already destroying.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:41pm bruceleh:

All the temps bringing back deep memories riding around the Bronx in my father's station wagon, listening to WABC
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:42pm still b/p:

Temptations songs and sound-feelings are too firmly wired in memory, and from a more formative period, for this to be a fair fight, despite the tight admirable creativity and execution of whoozisface.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:42pm Mr. Two Arms:

Kurt, are you trying to make Prince lose? "Ball of Confusion" wins. I mean, just compare the first few words of each song! Prince: Uh-oh here she comes
She got them gold hot pants on again
Yeah man
I wanna talk, but I dunno
She's a peach
Temptations: People movin' out
People movin' in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run, but you sho' can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me, and I'll set you free
Rap on brother, rap on
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:46pm kata:

I agree! 'Peach' does not rock, and it's not one of Prince's best.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:47pm amberto:

YES YOU'RE OVERTHINKING IT.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:47pm seang:

get drunk
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:48pm kata:

erotic city is a masterpiece.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:48pm R:

Peach!!??

All those Prince Rock songs and you pick Peach!
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:48pm seang:

on life
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:48pm Cecile:

This isn't very psychedelic. Raspberry Beret would even be better.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:49pm bruceleh:

Though i think "Peach' is the style you'd hear on a 'Classic Rock'
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:50pm Bryant:

So far we've heard obscure Prince B-sides, minor hit singles, and extended 12-inch mixes pitted against some of the greatest records ever released by The Temptations. It's a miracle he's even holding his own in this little competition.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:51pm Cecile:

it's more bluesy
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:51pm pangborn:

?
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:52pm Cecile:

I mean Peach is more bluesy. Raspberry Beret is about as far away from the blues as I am.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:52pm Gunner Nelson:

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:53pm bruceleh:

on a 'classic rock' station
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:53pm will:

kurt. scarlet pussy. guaranteed KO.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:54pm BodegaMan:

"I Wish U Heaven" Pts 1, 2 and 3 would've been a better choice.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:56pm still b/p:

P: Self-importance counts for how much...?

T: From the first bars, gets in ya so much more.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:56pm Cecile:

Temps win.

Step up your game, guys!
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:58pm david:

this is gunna be tough. 2 of my favorites.
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:58pm bruceleh:

'music so high you can't get over it
so low you can't get under it'
I loved that as a little kid
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:58pm seang:

Temptations all the way, it's embarrassing
  Fri. 10/7/11 3:58pm R:

I thought Prince might have a chance to win this, but maybe not.

Temptations 3 Prince 0.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:00pm Cecile:

so did Funkadelic, bruceleh.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:00pm Droll:

I'm afraid I have to accuse Prince's team of throwing the throwdown. Pretty shameful picks from His Formerness' catalog. They'll probably pick a soul ballad for the Funk category, and probably won't even come up with a PMRC-era tune for Most Obscene category.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:00pm kata:

'darling nikki' brings me to tears. to be played at a very loud volume only.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:03pm Kamikaze Prince:

"Purple Rain? Meh. Probably my LEAST favorite album of Prince. I won't touch that."
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:03pm david:

druggs?!?!?! play bob george!
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:05pm Cecile:

It's Jimi Hendrix psychedelia, not Pink Floyd psychedelia.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:07pm Wild Neil:

I lived through the 80's., he is obviously NOT psychedelic...duh!
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:07pm Wild Neil:

Hey, are you guys high or WHAT?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:07pm Brass Knuckles:

Kurt is just biding his time, saving the best for later, right dude?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:08pm efd:

Paula, you're not wearing out your welcome - just playing the hand you've been dealt.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:09pm jaycjay:

Had to walk away for a minute... what's this category?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:09pm Bryant:

I guess Prince has a shot at getting a point in the "best guitar soloist" category, no?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:09pm BodegaMan:

Noooooooooo! is it a slaughter rule at 4--0?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:10pm Rev. Vince:

This is so much better than playoff baseball.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:10pm Carmichael:

You're kinda pitchy, dawg.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:11pm das:

dat man sings like a lady
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:12pm Cecile:

I dont' like either song.
Prince is more campy. Give him the win.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:12pm R:

jaycjay: "covered by"
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:12pm david:

this is rigged!
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:13pm Bryant:

Maybe he can get a point in the "songs about 80s supermodels" category with "Cindy C."? Kind of a slam dunk, really.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:13pm Rev. Vince:

I still can't believe Moist Paula won the rain category. How could you not go with Purple Rain, Kurt?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:13pm R:

Prince finally wins one.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:13pm das:

It's 5 against 1, unless you count the twins
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:13pm jaycjay:

Thanks R... I was learning towards guessing that once this one started.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:13pm jaycjay:

Thanks R... I was learning towards guessing that once this one started.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:14pm Cecile:

LORD. I hate this song.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:14pm Bryant:

Yeah, R, this is pretty dreadful.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:14pm Brian in UK:

As it is Battle of the R'N'B All-Stars is there just pure vocal sublimeandcompleteness category if so 'My Girl' is the begining and end of it.
We are rather comparing a Jack Russell with a pack of Salukis
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:14pm BodegaMan:

Is there a substitute DJ in the FMU house? DJ KG psyched himself out of this game...
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:15pm Carmichael:

Thank God it's not any slower.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:15pm Cecile:

Prince takes this round.
Now bring the stuff out you saved for the big finale.
You need it now.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:16pm das:

KG is fixing to finagle himself back into this slapfest
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:16pm Carmichael:

The last time ever I'll listen to this song.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:17pm das:

Just wait until your standing in line at the bank, that's when they spring it on you
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:17pm kata:

Otis Redding could kick the Tempations' butts any day
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:19pm Cecile:

Prince.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:19pm das:

I think Otis would use the temptations as hand sanitizer
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:19pm Gunner Nelson:

No points for either. Boring tracks.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:19pm Brian in UK:

I think will all know whos got this one.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:19pm kata:

haha
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:20pm Cecile:

They are both boring.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:20pm Cecile:

BORING.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:21pm Mr. Yorke:

Prince covering Radiohead's Creep at Coachella was pretty amazing.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:22pm Brass Knuckles:

What about a category like "song that makes your nipples hard." I mean, it does happen, I have to admit.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:22pm kata:

is there a SEXY MUSIC category ? Prince would slay..
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:23pm Cecile:

or paranoid music? Like Annie Christian?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:23pm Ike:

Agreed, Cecile. Prince's was slightly less boring, but strongly agreed.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:24pm Hot Rod:

I think Prince's cover of Rappin' Rodney was the highlight of Back to School.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:24pm Cecile:

Oh! Dump do a great cover!
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:25pm Cecile:

Oh. I would have picked Mitch Ryder doing "when you were mine." This is still good, though.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:27pm S. O'Connor:

Hmm.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:27pm Carmichael:

Good Lord, these people will sing ANYthing. How about Cat Scratch Fever??
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:28pm Cecile:

Or Patti Smith doing "when Doves Cry."
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:28pm Cecile:

I think REM did that in concert once.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:28pm paul:

oh wow, aphex twin drum samples
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:29pm Cecile:

cat scratch fever, I mean.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:29pm amberto:

um, actually "if i was your girlfriend" by TLC from their seminal album Crazy Sexy Cool is the superior prince cover.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:30pm Cecile:

I like Dump and that album, but Al Green trumps them.
amberto, I forgot about that.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:30pm Rev. Vince:

team temptations wins again with this one.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:31pm Brian in UK:

Surely using The Reverend is cheatin'. Maybe not.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:31pm Cecile:

To quote the Replacements re: Team Prince: "You lose! You lose! You lose!"
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:32pm Minnesota Jeff:

Dump vs. Al Green on paper is real tough, but I would rather listen to that Dump jam over this Al Green cover.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:32pm das:

New Category: Best songs that replace the word 'YOU" with the letter "U"
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:33pm Daniel:

Agree with MN Jeff.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:33pm Ike:

Agreed, MN Jeff.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:33pm Droll:

...Sigh... Team Prince has thrown the throwdown. I hope that payola was worth it, fellas. At least some of us still know Prince coulda' been a contenda'.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:33pm Wild Neil:

REVERAND Al Green, thank you very much.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:33pm Brian in UK:

With you MJ this is slightly leaden. Dare I write this.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:34pm John Madden:

YOu see, what the Kurt team needs to do is really hit the hole and penetrate. They're not going to win unless they score.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:35pm Wild Neil:

Prince could be considered a "hair band"?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:35pm ...:

Nothing Compares 2 U
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:37pm Cecile:

Mitch Ryder's cover came out in 82 or 83...
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:38pm Carmichael:

Best song with old soul hand-clapping. Not that fake drum slap sound.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:38pm das:

New Category: Best songs written for Sinead O'Conner to cover
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:39pm Minnesota Jeff:

I would also consider that Al Green song to be sorta boring.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:40pm Ike:

No, no, no, that comment was about the previous category. I was agreeing w/Cecile. That said, I don't think that was a very exciting Al Green track, but that's probably my own failing. Dump is more modern and thus more to my odd taste.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:42pm Wild Neil:

I'm gonna be open minded about this...
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:42pm Cecile:

What about Sheena Easton? Vanity 6?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:42pm david:

what was that version of can't get next top you from?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:42pm Dickass:

Too little, to late Ike.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:43pm paul:

holy crap, i've never heard this before. total WTF.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:43pm david:

what's next? carmen electra?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:43pm Wild Neil:

This Madonna song is utter shit.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:44pm DJ KG:

thanks everyone! david - al green 4 cd "anthology"
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:45pm Carmichael:

@Wild Neil: remove "this" and "song" from your sentence, for better accuracy.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:45pm Rev. Vince:

this took a turn toward weird.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:45pm Cecile:

Diana kicks the Tempts butt.
And Prince's and Madonna's.
So Tempts win again because they have a good collaborator.
tempts sound stiff here, but Miss Ross is great.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:45pm still b/p:

The Rhythm start was promising but the vocals are bummin' my Friday. man. Oh, man. Oh, woman.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:45pm Mary Wing:

Really, U Got The Look would've trumped Diana Ross.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:45pm Cecile:

WOW. The tempts sound bad here.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:46pm Cecile:

Mary WIng - I MEAN.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:46pm david:

Thanks KG. temps sound bad but that madonna was worse.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:46pm hubba:

who is winning?

pull the annie christian card...
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:46pm Ike:

Diana Ross is the ONLY good thing about this track. It sounds like it's straight out of a horribly misconceived Broadway music slathered in rotting Velveeta.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:46pm Cecile:

They both suck.
Award the point to Sly Stone.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:46pm Minnesota Jeff:

Madonna just got her spine busted over Diana's knee on this one.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:47pm Cecile:

yeah, Ike. that.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:47pm Ike:

*musical
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:47pm Brass Knuckles:

That was Madonna? I thought that was still chatter before the next song.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:47pm still b/p:

Cane the producer.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:48pm Cecile:

AWFUL.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:48pm Wild Neil:

Sounds like Gilbert and Sullivan. Cool!
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:48pm hubba:

I thought it was The Mothers of Invention
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:49pm Caryn:

Diana rocked that, but the Temps sounded bad. Should've played the Temps/Supremes "Love Child" collaboration. Or is it just Temps/Diana Ross...?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:49pm hubba:

Anyone care to mention what thell is going on here?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:49pm Cecile:

It sounds like a road company of fiddler on the roof.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:50pm slugluv1313:

re: MADONNA and DIANA ROSS -- BOTH equally BIZARRE and INSANELY wonderful (or wonderfully insane???)
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:50pm Ike:

I would actually go with Madonna on that one, because the Madonna track was entertainingly retarded. And with fun and exciting Prince backing (I'm presuming).
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:50pm Cecile:

Really?
Miss Ross is awesome
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:51pm abby in france:

yeah i was gonna say, it sounds like jewish wedding music
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:51pm Cecile:

vanity 6 would have won.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:51pm still b/p:

I really was just thinking Fiddler, too!
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:52pm Rev. Vince:

What about the Prince/Mavis Staples record?
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:53pm Cecile:

this category was just awful.
to quote Nina Garcia, "I question your taste level."
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:53pm Detroit Mac:

Saw both the Temps and the Supremes (of which Ross went to my high school) quite a few times, and the Temps always blew the Supremes off the stage.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:53pm still b/p:

Compare their concert contract riders for a tie-breaker.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:54pm david:

there we go! ADORE!!!
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:54pm Cecile:

oy gevalt.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:54pm BodegaMan:

Finally a consensus selection!
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:55pm still b/p:

....Madonna's and Diana's, that is.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:55pm Minnesota Jeff:

DJKG - I would be lobbying that the Temps need to go first one of these times.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:55pm Brass Knuckles:

So basically when a Prince song sucks in a unique way it wins. Toss a bone, bro. Step it up.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:55pm DJ KG:

MN Jeff - whoever is behind plays the first song. we decided that beforehand.
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:56pm Wild Neil:

Prince is great, but compared to Al Greene, its like Bambi vs Godzilla, yo~!
  Fri. 10/7/11 4:58pm Carmichael:

All the windows in my house just shattered.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:02pm Rev. Vince:

Moist Paula is going to be very cross with me, but Team Prince wins on this one.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:02pm Daniel:

Finally a fair battle. Love/Contrition is a sweet pairing.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:03pm Caryn:

So apparently both Prince and the Temps agree that what a love song needs is vocals that are sung like you have your balls trapped in a vice.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:04pm northguineahills:

I passed out and this has been my nap's soundtrack.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:04pm hubba:

testie pin cushion
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:05pm Cecile:

not a fan of either.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:05pm Carmichael:

Is there a best hat category?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:08pm Brass Knuckles:

Entertaining show, guys, but these selections are so goddamn boring.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:09pm Carmichael:

Don't play Manic Monday.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:09pm d1st:

Haven't heard anything that's changed my mind from what I said at Niblock's the other night - I'm supporting the Temps. Actually, I just wanted to say the name Niblock on a show about Prince & the Temptations...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:09pm Rev. Vince:

This is turning into a WWE event. So much smack talk.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:11pm kata:

tell it like it is, short man..
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:12pm Bryant:

I support this track. Underrated album.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:13pm hubba:

Do you have Prince covering "Real American"?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:13pm Carmichael:

My dog appreciates this song greatly.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:13pm Cecile:

Classic Prince. Funky and bitter and sexy.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:13pm hubba:

I got a category... what about Youtube versions of Prince and Tempts songs... amateurs singing their balls/labia into a vice...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:14pm Mary Wing:

The custodian just came into my office and said "whatchoo listening to, Mary?" I said "um Prince" and he said "Mary listening to some GOOOD music." I swear this actually happened.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:15pm Cecile:

Think Prince won this one.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:15pm kata:

@hubba, the female equivalent for balls is ovaries, just sayin'..
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:15pm Rev. Vince:

Moist Paula, watch your back. Here comes Team Prince.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:18pm Brass Knuckles:

Kind of hard to reach in there, grab the ovaries and stick them into a vice though.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:18pm hubba:

I was just thinking of hanging skin type stuff... not necessarily production... do labias tend to hang low? Can you tie em in a knot, can you tie em in a bow?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:19pm Cecile:

The Prince song was funnier, more original and sexier.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:20pm hubba:

ouch... I think that dude has a Carmen Elektra Complex
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:21pm hubba:

hate sex, fairly common phenomenon...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:22pm Rev. Vince:

Tie game? How in the hell did that happen?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:23pm hubba:

This song is lame... it is like Bruger King upchuck...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:23pm efd:

How can it be 5-5 when there have only been 9 sets/categories?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:24pm BodegaMan:

Leaving work, will have to hear the finale via archive. Team Prince has momentum, don't mess this shit up.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:24pm Bryant:

Nah, this MF is catchy. What's the best Prince riposte? "Raspberry Beret?" "When U Were Mine"? "Kiss"? "Sexy MF"?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:24pm Cecile:

And Rita Coolidge did a terrible cover of it in the 70s
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:25pm Carmichael:

1999.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:25pm Cecile:

Uptown. Dirty Mind. Little Red Corvette. 1999.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:25pm Rev. Vince:

This is Team Prince's one to loose...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:25pm Detroit Mac:

Hubba: you are so wrong in so many ways (I guess you had to be there in 1964 with a crappy transistor radio)
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:26pm slugluv1313:

DEFINITELY The Temptations on this one b/c i can just see Pee Wee Herman DANCING
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:26pm Cecile:

ooooooh. I wouldn't have gone with this one. It's is good song, but not an earworm.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:26pm Cecile:

I love this Prince song, but the Tempts hit it out of the park.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:27pm efd:

This Prince song only wins if having the word "Sticky" in the title counts. (Which it shouldn't.)
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:27pm hubba:

@Detroit Mac... yeah, wish I could been there... those were the days... look, the song is lame even within a socio-historic context...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:28pm Brass Knuckles:

Jesus. Catchiest Prince song?! Great song, but bitch, please.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:28pm Rev. Vince:

And they just lost it. How do you not go for Raspberry Beret on this one? #teamprincefail
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:29pm Cecile:

yeah, Brass.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:29pm Cecile:

Or Uptown? Or When You Were Mine? Or ....
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:30pm abby in france:

i can hear the temptations song in my head AS prince is singing
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:30pm kata:

I would be happy to never hear "The Way You Do the Things You Do" ever again.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:30pm efd:

Can we get a recap of the winners from each category in the next break? I'm still puzzled by the 5-5 tie, but maybe missed something.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:30pm Rev. Vince:

Team Temptations just got the momentum.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:30pm Bryant:

I can't remember -- have we heard a single Prince chart hit today? I think "Adore" got some R&B play, but top 40?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:30pm Caryn:

Brass: well, the category is "sticky wicket", so I guess it depends on how you interpret it. Of course, if we just go for "catchiest", I would've chosen different tracks for both.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:30pm will:

Soundtracks? love to hear some batman vs whatever the temps got.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:31pm hubba:

I don't really understand how this is a contest...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:31pm Bryant:

Prince would totally rock the "weird shit" category.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:32pm Rev. Vince:

or Kiss, or Head, or Sexy Dancer, or Let's go Crazy, or Little Red Corvette...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:33pm hubba:

What about a "bling" category... I could go for some "diamonds and pearls"
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:33pm Kamikaze Prince:

"My selection for the best Prince song of all time is this limited edition promo made from actual ivory and only available in Thailand limited to ten copies that were attached to elephants that were on sale. Only two other people have ever heard it."
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:34pm Cecile:

ROFL Kamikaze Prince.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:34pm Caryn:

So we went from 5-5 to 5-4, but we've had 10 categories? This just gets weirder... maybe Prince is doing the counting, and he's writing "5 to 5" as "525" and now we're lost.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:36pm Barbie Prince:

Math is hard.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:36pm Ike:

Wait, was the first set (earthquakes) just for show? Did that not count? I can't remember. Maybe they meant 4-4 when they said 5-5.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:37pm hubba:

Okay, I get it... this is a way for freeform to oblige to top 40 without irony or satire... this is true music nerd stuff... but, I can do Prince... I had cassettes in rural wisconsin.... but why the Temptations?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:37pm Caryn:

To quote the Gumbys: "My brain hurts".
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:37pm Cecile:

Did you listen to the beginning?
It started with earthquake songs...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:38pm Cecile:

I vote for Curtis Mayfield.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:40pm Brass Knuckles:

The score: § - ❖
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:42pm Rev. Vince:

Team Temptations wins on this one. Clergy opinion.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:42pm Jesus:

You know I can't believe you didn't select The Cross.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:44pm hubba:

End the show with a Prince Temptations Traktor mash-up...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:44pm Rev. Vince:

wow. I now know this is fixed...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:45pm northguineahills:

Damn, I actually have liked all of the Prince songs better thusfar, but "Make Your Own Heaven Right Here on Earth" is badass! It should have won!
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:45pm Cecile:

ooooh. Pick wisely, Kurt.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:47pm hubba:

True... but shouldn't this be Prince versus Norman Whitfield?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:49pm Cecile:

I said that earlier. LOL
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:50pm hubba:

@NGH... I agree, but I'm still having a hard time with all of this... The Temptations hve like a whole city behind them, and then there is Prince in the land of 10,000 lakes.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:50pm Detroit Mac:

Would there have been a Price, as we know him, without the Temptations? I don't think so (and heard people say: Price was a "Jack of all Trades")
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:50pm hubba:

oh, sorry... I had to watch some PPTs...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:51pm Cecile:

COME ON YOU GUYS.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:51pm hubba:

Kurt... really?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:52pm Brass Knuckles:

So if someone had never heard of Prince and I wanted to blow them away, I would pick this song? I guess if you like Alvin & the Chipmunks and shit.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:53pm Cecile:

Really.
You went too far off the beaten path.
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:53pm hubba:

If anyhting, you are the king of marginal Prince songs... a hit is a hit is a hit.... Moist Paula brings Papa and you bring... okay, okay... I am totally pointing this out to a few of my buddies, they'll have a good time. Good radio for sure...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:54pm Rev. Vince:

Team Prince just threw it. You taking cash or do you owe money?
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:55pm hubba:

no sarcasm, people will dig this, could only imagine what a drive hoem would be like, probably would not get out once I hit the driveway... this is interactive, and nothing beats a comment board's scorn...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:55pm Bryant:

Wonder why Moist Paula didn't go digging for Temptations B-sides, alternate versions, and deep cuts ...
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:55pm abby in france:

definitely great radio, yes! thanks!!
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:56pm hubba:

NO!
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:57pm kata:

everyone loves a competition, thanks all! now go have a drink you nerds!
  Fri. 10/7/11 5:58pm Prince:

Heads will roll
  Sat. 10/8/11 5:16pm Moist Paula:

Rhythm of Life was a B-Side and look at all the $#!+ I took for it! RadioLand is groovy, thanks to all who chimed in! I'd a had Girls N Boys and Anotherloverholenyohead in there for sure had I been on Team Prince. Love Prince, Love the Temps, Love Madonna n Mz Ross, Love FMU n Miniature Minotaurs! Thanks to DJ KG for having me!
