The 10 best songs that end an album I always said that there are 2 parts to a great album. The beginning and the ending. The beginning is important because it catches the listener's ear. If the song is not good then you pretty much will drag the the rest or not listen to it at all. The ending is the most dramatic part of an album to me because you want to end with a BANG! Not a BOING! So this topic salutes all songs to end a Prince album over the years. And since there are so many to choose, I want you to list the 10 best songs of your choice that ends a Prince album. For example: Purple Rain is the last song on PR. Or Partyup is the last on DM. Now for my 10 best songs. They are:
1. Adore-Sign 'O' The Times 2. Purple Rain-Purple Rain 3. Batdance-Batman 4. Emancipation-Emancipation 5. Partyup-Dirty Mind 6. Live 4 Love-Diamonds and Pearls 7. Last December-Rainbow Children 8. International Lover-1999 9. It's Gonna Be Lonely-Prince 10. Gold-The Gold Experience Peace and be wild! | |

paintedlady said: FuNkeNsteiN said: 'Letitgo' is not the last song on 'Come' DPR loves Orgasm!!! I guess she loves a good ending too! Well... That doesn't really count as a song for me. But it still ends the album pretty well. It connects to the first track, keeping the album tightly bound together. That's one of the things I like about it. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong.

Resolution isn't all that great. But I heard that excuse from my dad when I played the album from this guy who was part of my fav. boyband... he said the last song was his favorite cuz it was the last... I still believe PE is a great album, but its ending isn't great at all. But that's just me. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

I think Parade is an AMAZING album, but Sometimes it Snows in April always puts me to sleep. I usually turn the album off before it comes on. I am now preparing myself for the critical backlash. | |

Well, Prince was quoted as saying that a great album needs a song with the same title. He said this in response to Jesse Johnson's album "Shockadelica" which did NOT have a song called "Shockadelica" on it (Prince wrote his own song to prove a point).
MY point is: almost all of Prince's albums have the title track situated at the first song or the last. The only exceptions really are: Prince, The Black Album, Lovesexy, D&P, , One Nite Alone. I think Prince also agrees that you need to get 'em on the way in AND on the way out! | |
