"Crystal Ball" simply cuz it's completely out of this world and sooo brilliant.

"The Rebirth Of The Flesh" cuz it's a hit of sick funkyness direct to the vein.

"The Question Of U" cuz it's unlike anything I heard before or after. Madness!!

"If I Was Ur Girlfriend" outstanding opening to his best ever song. period. . .
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

"The Beautiful Ones" has a nice opening too, with him playing the piano. One of my fave songs of all time.

Surprised no one mentioned the intro to the song "Into the Light." I love the piano in the beginning of that song, but then again, I tend to love piano music anyway. smile

Agreed. Possibly his most perfect song ever.

Sorry I love the extended version of Mountains but I could live without that 'Hey U get out on this dancefloor' thing :shudder:

Also, do you think that ugly people are God's cruel joke on humanity (like the platypus and the heterosexual) or another form of population control?

"1999" is the best of all..even without the spooky robotic voice part.It just starts with that buildup and tension. You can feel something cool is about to happen. Another good one is "controversy".And,conversely,"beautiful ones" has the best ending of any Prince song.

There are SOOOO many intro's to his songs that blow you away...

The beginning of America, listening to it for the 1st time on cassette in a player that had started eating my tapes... I never ran so fast to my sterio in my life.

The intro for Thunder. My gawd. Me and a friend had just bought DAP and were planning on just driving around town listening to it. We didn't even get through the 1st line and my friend ejected the cassette, sat back in his seat and said "um, I think I just came in my pants. We don't have to listen to any more..." It ended up taking us a good 20-25 minutes before we were able to listen to the whole song.
What's the use of being young if you ain't gonna get old

I say Billy Jack Bitch. I remember hearing just the first 30 seconds of it on some award show years ago, when he was dancing with Carmen Electra?? anyone remember what I am talking about? Anyways, those first 30 seconds drove me CRAZY! I wanted to hear the full song NOW! I remember buying The Gold Expierence, and as I am driving home, playing my new cd, it comes on! : )
I honestly had to pull over and just let it sink in. No one but a Prince fan would understand this.
