Best Opener on an Album

This is the song that you put on full blast when the CD starts and it just kicks your ass all the way through. Best track one for me?

Christopher Tracy's Parade

"Thunder" Play it Loud and Proud! (Then skip the rest of the album and put on something better!)

...and that lil' intro with Mayte's voice as an interactive voice guide from "The Gold Experience".

No off Lovesexy. That's a damn good Album Opener; it had me reaching for my penis. :p

I'm with you Spooky. Eye No is easily in his top ten tracks

How can Eye no be one of his top ten best tracks when it obviously did not even make the top ten opening tracks off a record? Answer that.

1999
Let's Go Crazy

...there are others, but these 3 stand out the most.

love is god, god is love, girls and boys love god above

Let's Go Crazy

Around the World in a day - it's so unexpected especially when first listening in 1985 straight after purple rain. But Christopher Tracy's Parade also demands the volume knob be turned up as well and left up for the rest of the album...

Dearly Beloved!!! Need I carry on!!

I wanna vote for "I wanna be your lover" as best.

But I'm suprised there isn't heavy support for "P. Control" with the building keyboards and Mayte saying all that spanish then it kicking into that bad-a** beat.

p.s. I also like Chaos and Disorder as an opening song

Let's Go Crazy
1999
Rainbow Children

Endorphin Machine

Whoo, this is tough!
It's gotta be between 1999, Let's Go Crazy and Sign 'O The Times. Each has a serious claim to the throne. The rest are good but still pretenders to the Best Opener throne.
I guess I'll give the nod to ... oh, say ... Let's Go Crazy!

"Don't Worry I Won't Hurt You I Only Want You To Have Some Fun" (1999)

Ive always thought For You was a great opener 2 his first album and also his career.

Controversy

My name is Prince
Dolphin

Batdance
OH TOOO MANY TO CHOOSE!

Poem.

No, really. It is a track that has three layers:

1) Prince is leading his girl to orgasm

2) Prince is making fun of WB's expectations of him

3) Prince is guiding the listener towards the first track (Interactive).

It's friggin' brilliant.

hmmm.. Id say Purple Rain's or Sign o Times albums have the best opening song

P Control

on a mix cd, Interactive is cool too.

I reckon "For You"

or perhaps the opening lines to Around The World In a Day.
