I was wondering what u thought was the best song from The Rainbow Children

I wud say the work pt. 1

What do u think

My favourite is 1+1+1=3 ... but I prefer the live versions of those TRC songs, much better.

I gotta say the title track. When they get into the "riiiiise" bit, it's pure joy!

That said, 1+1+1=3 and Work Pt. 1 are great too.

The Rainbow Children

She loves me 4 me.

1+1+1=3

" She Loves me 4 me" i LOVE Prince

rainbow children

She Loves Me 4 Me

My only complaint is that it's too short.

"Last December" for me.....

Hard to say. I love the entire album. I dont think of any song as ´spectacular´ but I love the way the music flows on the album.

She loves me 4 me Mellow . I was not a big fan of that one. I am not all that much into jazz

I love the whole album, and every song is important for the the concept, however, My favorite is "Muse 2 the Pharoah."

All of 'em!!

She loves for me...hands down is my favorite. Mellow is running in second place and muse 2 the pharoh is holding down the number three spot.

This is one of those Prince albums that you will forget that you like it, but once you start playing it again then you are back in love. In my opinion.

Oh so you like the darth vader voice?

The Everlasting Now!

My personal favorite is The Everlasting Now (with Last December in second place). Interesting, evocative lyrics (despite the heavy religiosity) and a good jam. Love the Santana-esque guitar, especially.

Y'know...this is funky but...

Tough choice, but I'm going to have to go with "The Rainbow Children", but "The Sensual Everafter" is a close second.

I like the Darth Voice over sorry ..it's kind of creepy?

Last December but it's a close race with Family Name, The Work, & She Loves Me 4 Me.

It's a great praise and worship song and really gives me inspriration.

It's a real close call for between The Rainbow Children and Everywhere.

I'll go with The Rainbow Children.

prince DOES NOT SOUND LIKE JAMES EARL JONES!!

and that voice that's on there is the same voice on bob george, and exodus

It would probably be Family Name except for the first 3 minutes of it, which gets old after a few listens.

Everlasting Now is my favorite track, but not the best song

Mello & 1+1 are a great combo

Last December may have the combination of being a fully written song with melody & changes, along with the great arrangements that the rest of the album has

She Loves Me has never moved me. It's a fine pop tune, but feels light in comparison to the rest of the music

Sensual Everafter is great for what it is, though the production leaves a bit to be desired.

Everywhere would probably be one of the very best, if it wasn't so short.

All in all, I love this hugely flawed album!

I love the Darth Vader voice tracks ... those song segues he added are wierd though.

Despite the dodgy anti-semetic sentiment I do like Family Name

interesting opinions


I see nobody's picked "Digital Garden" yet.
My favorite is a tie between that song and "Last December."

I like the tribal percussion used in "Digital Garden" and the killer solo halfway through is AWESOME. Clearly influenced by Santana (along with the musical interlude in the last 2 minutes of the title track, it builds up the same way the end of Santana's "Black Magic Woman").

There's just something about Digital Garden that is just

"Last December" I've found really touching. It makes you think and the first couple of times I heard it, I was ...either because I was touched or for another reason...

I've only heard this album a handful of times, though. It's not so much the deep voice that bothers me as the fact it's a little too band-oriented and there's not enough of that Prince-ly vibe that I feel in all his work somewhere
