Prince songs that are too long...

This was inspired by the songs that are too short thread.

In my opinion....

Temptation
Sometimes It Snows In April
Thunder
and
*sometimes*
Purple Rain

are too long.

It doesn't mean I don't like them, just throughout these songs I find myself spacing out and not really listening to it.
I like them though. smile

When doves Cry. That extra part always bothered me at the end...I thought the length was just perfect on the Hits/B-sides.

"America" long version. Twenty something minutes. Damn. At first when I got it, I dug it that it was that long. But, after a couple of listens, I was through with it. Never been that crazy about that song anyways. Album or 45 version.

lol A few people I've talked to hate that song, they tell me that it's the worst song that Prince ever wrote. I dunno, I kinda like it; it reminds me of a George Clinton jam.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Anyway, I can't stand how long "D.M.S.R." and "Automatic" are. The stream-of-consciousness aspect of "Automatic" is intriguing and all but the song isn't musically satisfying enough for me to endure the whole thing.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I like the song. I'd have just taken it down to about 5 or 6 minutes.

I hate when he has a song that just bumps and then all of a sudden he breaks into a musical and go on for ever or you'll have a song like If I was the man in your life that is so short and to much instrumentel. I love that song.

I totally agree with u. It is 2 damn long. I have tried 2 listen 2 it several times over the years and it is just annoying after about 7 minutes.

I really don't like pretty much any extended versions of songs.

They always (mostly) just ramble on and on long after the song's made its point sufficiently.
