Best song on Rainbow Children??

I just bought Rainbow Children. I've breezed through it for now. My Fav. song so far is "she loves me for me." What's the best song on the album in your opinion?
"What if I called you silly names, just like the ones that you call me"

Tough question. I even love the instrumentals. I'm really digging "Family Name" but if I had to pick one, I'd choose "Last December." The most beautiful funeral song I've ever heard. Starts somber, goes 6 feet deep, and then takes you to heaven!!

Close between the title cut and Everlasting Now. I'll take TRC if I had to choose. The guitar is sick...

2 Different Feelings but it's a tie between Last December and Everlasting Now. Followed by Muse to the Pharoah.

It's soo hard to say. Initially when I heard the album, I also said "She Loves Me 4 Me" As I listened to the album more and more, it grew on me quickly..

Songs like...

The Last December
The Sensual Everafter
She Loves Me 4 Me
The Rainbow Children
Mellow

That's Damn near the whole album...

A lot of individuals feel as if TRC is a sign of Prince really losing his marbles nuts

I believe it's a sign of his ever-progressing genius...

It was She Loves me 4 Me but now it's 1+1+1=3
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

That's a though one. Probably a tie between

Mellow
She Loves Me 4 Me
Family Name.

Is that allowed??

Tho if I absolutely HAD to pick one, I'd go for Family Name.
There's just so much going on. The intro with the incredible
bass going on behind those words. The song, the bridge. The
SPIT. the solo. The T.J. and the Akashik records reference.

And the "No. Noo-oo-oo-oo--oo-oo---oo---oo" scream.


Yes, I definately feel the emotion and anger of Family Name.. the screaming is terrifying, really love this song.. can't wait 2 hear and see him do it live!

But my real TRC favourite is... 1 + 1 + 1 = 3.

It's hard to pick one.

In no specific order:
TRC (it's smooth and ethereal, and the coda is abstract beauty that should last another 5 minutes)
Family Name (a mind bender that turns into a smoker)
Digital Garden (too short, but damn sublime)
Mellow (listen to the drummer)
This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes.

1. Muse 2 the Pharaoh; this song is too cool.

begrudgingly, Last December. because of the music/melody/production/etc.

begrudgingly, because of the lyrics. though luckily they're more toned down (or less offensive/repressive anyway) than the rest of the album.

I'd find it difficult to choose between:
Family Name
Everlasting Now
She Loves Me 4 Me
Last December
Each of these are fantastic tracks.

My fave is Family Name. Those drums...THAT bass! 3 funky...

When I copped the album last year that was the one track that I couldn't stop playing if I didn't have time to listen to the whole album!

Strange, but Last December is the only track on the album that I don't really care for. I think the LP would have been stronger if it had ended with the funk blowout of Everlasting Now. By the way... at the end of Everlasting Now does somebody say "What The Fuck, I'm Out"? Sounds like that to me!

Peace

I wholeheartly agree with you! I really cannot wait for the concert in Hamburg, that song will kill me!
Also great is The Sensual Everafter. I actually like most of the songs, but live they rock even more!
