Whats the weakest opening song for any prince cd?

For me its a tie between Jam of The Year (Emancipation) and 3121 (3121)...If I had to choose it would go to 3121

It's a close tie for me between "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic" and "Christopher Tracy's Parade".

At least "Rave" has its 1988 small club incarnation as an (inofficial) alternative. So I give the title to "Christopher Tracy's Parade". biggrin

Can't Stop This Feeling I Got...

it's not even the best version of this song.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

eek eek

3121 is a killer tune man...what the hell you talkin about?? Its one of the best songs on the disc.

I agree with Jam of the Year being the weakest tho.

3121 sucks. First prize for weakest, imho.

Runners up would be "Christopher Tracy's Parade" and "Rave."

"3121" and "Rave" are among the best!

My vote goes to "Around the World in a Day" or "Jam of the Year".

I'll say Christopher Tracy's Parade. It's not a bad song and it does set the mood for the album and movie but I just could never get into it.

I like Rave. The only problem for me is that just when you think it's about to cut loose...it's over.

i can't believe the songs some people are mentioning here smile

to be honest there's not a lot of bad choices for openings
on prince albums.

but the 2 i like least are New Power Soul / Jam of the Year
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

If you listen with your eyes perhaps biggrin

I think it's a perfect opening for that album actually.

Anyone that votes for anything other than jam of the year is a fool.
