What Prince album segues/added touches annoys the most?

I'm talking about in terms of segues and little ideas he added to albums that didn't necessarily have to do with the actual songs themselves..

I know many can't stand TRC's narrator, but I'd easily have to pick Lovesexy's one track idea here.

That is easily the stupidest, most annoying, pointless touch he's ever made to an album. I mean, what could it have possibly accomplished?

The 'Symbol' album segues are a little annoying & tend to get in the way.

Actually, most of these 'segues' or 'skits' (or whatever you want to call them) are pretty annoying. Not just Prince but all artists.
I buy CDs to hear music, not goofy skits.

Without a doubt, Come's Orgasm

I actually love this album otherwise, and boom it at high levels, but I have to run to shut it off when this one comes on, so the neighbours don't think I'm blasting bad porno! razz

The narrator for The Rainbow Children. He sounds like Darth Vader on downers. I love the album, but can't deny that there are times where I wanted to call his pharmacist and tell Prince 2 take Vader the Narrator off of his Valium.

I didn't mind the narration in The Gold Experience, at all. I actually thought it enhanced it.

Luv & Peace,

The segues on the symbol album are pretty obnoxious.

I actually REALLY hate the Italian talking by that woman at the end of What Do U Want Me 2 Do....

...it's just pretentious and adds nothing.

Almost every other segue I've heard has added something to the album, though.

The segue between We Can Funk and Joy In Repetition sucks because Prince ruined the Incredible beginning to JIR with the long, lone drum beat.

The one album where I really LIKE the segues is The Gold Experiance. I love that album and I really like the "You have just accessed the *** experiance" stuff throughout.

The ONes from "Come"
and EVERYTHING from Rainbow Children.

The prince album ones where o.k. at the time, becuase Prince was still shrouded in mystery for me so any clues that I could get of him, I appreciated (Remeber, this was before the Internet was widley available)

I hated all the extra sounds he added to "The Truth" album.

And the Rapping inside 1999-The New Master

I even hate the vocal treatment he put inside 1999-The New Master.

I HATE WITH TWO PASSIONS the NPG operator voice on The Gold Experience. I would rank it higher in my personal top ten were it not for that draining " You have just accessed the..... experience blackeye nuts stfu" I may have missed out on that INTERACTIVE CD-rom thing he had, but it could not have been worse than The NPG operator. brick blowup

I like some of the tracks but I hate all of the segues. I wish he would have left them out, they are silly and corny.

Personally, I love the segues on the "Black Album"...

"Ooh Girl, where'd you get those shoes"
"They're fucking pumps!"

"Squirrel Meat!!!"

Naw, didn't mind those at all.
