Top 10 Best Intro Songs ?

  1. Let's Go Crazy
  2. Dirty Mind
  3. P Control
  4. ART OFFICIAL CAGE
  5. Chaos and Disorder
  6. Planet Earth
  7. 3121
  8. Christopher Tracy's Parade
  9. Come
  10. The Future

You can't always judge an album by it's cover or by the first impression the first track makes, but these songs showed a lot of heart and fresh distinctive musicianship which is always a good thing when you press play on a new album. Prince clearly understands the importance of first impressions whether his energy or creativity holds up for the rest of the album or not.

If only the song were as good as it's opening line... neutral The reason I wouldn't call Gold a 10/10 album, is that I just can't stand P Control.I find Endorphinmachine to be the real opener. Alright, now that I'm here...

There are a bunch of replies in this thread that don't have 1999 listed, and it's making me wonder if I'm on the right site. This is is prince.org, right? lol

It's an awesome opening first two verses of a brilliant album, but I've never been a huge fan of the song — given everything else.

So U found me. Good, I'm glad. This is Prince. The cool of cools.

"New Power Generation." "Is this Paisley Park?" "No this is not that record company..."

If you're 18 and over, come here, I got something for your mind.

Grits and gravy, cheese eggs and jam...
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine and a side order of ham.
