1. Mountains
2. The Beautiful Ones 3. Sometimes It Snows In April 4. Erotic City (12") 5. Anotherloverholenyohead (12") Its often hard to seperate good intro's from good songs, or even good intros from bad songs, but i think these are the ones that i enjoy most. | |

I don't have 5 but I have the #1.
Shhhhh!!! I listen to it often and I am amazed that Prince heard that intro in his head before it was ever actually played! Because it is unbelievable to hear the finished work... to CONCEIVE it.... awesome! "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

Mountains
Kiss Gett Off Sign O The Times When Doves Cry Bubbling Under: P-Control 7 The Cross U Got the Look Thieves in the Temple Anf God Created Woman If I Was Your Girlfriend Gett Off Cream The man just has GREAT intros! There are so many more but I had to stop somewhere. As for worst intro: My Name is Prince ( Arsenio Hall babbling and cheesy boxing music followed by idiotic "ah ah ah ah ah ah"'s and horribly dated scratching). All good things they say never last... | |

I think Controversy has the best intro. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

totally right. I can't believe it took this long into this subject for someone to say Let's Go Crazy. Not only one of his best songs, but it was the bridge into the Purple Rain movie. If this part doesn't give you shivers, I don't know what will. Good call Champagne The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018.

1. Shhh (this song just rules but only Prince could open and bridge a slow jam like that, I can't even talk about the guitar at the end)
2. When Doves Cry (played to death over the years, but on the Musicology tour, I got huge goosebumps when that guitar hit) 3. Erotic City (Way to funky for mainstream in the 80's) 4. If I was your girlfriend 5. Anotherloverholeinyouhead | |

The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker. Probably one of the most Lo Fi things Prince has done. 
Erotic City on the Lovesexy concert... "doof....doof doof HEY! doof....doof doof HEY!snare drum pound on the 2 and 4!!!all the party people get on the floor....BASS!!!" "Prince don't hear Ravel when he wanna make love to his woman. He hears drums and shit." Miles Davis | |
