Crystal Ball, without a doubt. There's more in that one song than some people manage in an entire career. Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. |

It is clearly "3 Chains O' Gold". That is just powerfully Prince all the way.
"Planet Earth" is simply stunning, but is more of a powerful rock ballad. "3 Chains O' Gold" has distinctive parts which contrast each other, like scenes, with dramatic differences between the parts. "Crystal Ball" doesn't seem like a Rock Opera 2 me, although I love the song. "He's a musician's musician..." |

Well, yeah, Crystal Ball is superb, but if we're talkin' rock, well, 3 Chains O' Gold is the closest idea to a rock opera. | |

When it comes to rock-opera or symphonic, pompous rock... lol.. Three Chains of Gold is indeed Princes song that is most in that vein.
But, i wouldnt label it as best...Far from that... I mean, it sounds like some poor take on 'Bohemian Rapsody', laboured, forced, just like Prince hasn't got the slightest idea what he would or could do with that type of music. I agree Crystal Ball is BY FAR a better song, but its not rock-opera or symphonic rock, its more like a funk-improvisation, using jazzy and orchestral elements to jam on. | |

3 chains o' gold gets my vote hands down. the whole arrangement is masterful and compelling.
love, love, love that song!  Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |
