I really like this song. What an epic guitar solo at the end...

Haven't seen much love given for this song.

I could love it, build my world around it

I do like the song, except the cheesy bridge part. It sounds like something out of a bad rejected Broadway musical. It doesn't "fit" with the rest of the song.

yeah, I don't like that section very much either. It bothers me a lot less than it used to though.

I like the song.

I was a bit confused as to why the rest of the album didn't carry the asthetic theme of the song throughout. On the surface the name of the album makes you think it's concept album, but in reality it's really little more than a compilation of ideas.

I like the song though.

This is a fantastic song. Pure and simple.

Prince captures some of the old along with some of the new and I too am surprised at the lack of love for this. A beautiful, powerful, anthemic classic.

I'd take one "Planet Earth" over a hundred "Hot Summer"'s!

THANK you.

It's one of my favorite Prince songs of all time. The guitar solo (and the tense build-up into it) just overwhelms me. What perfect lyrics too... love it.

Grade A

Reminds me vageuly of grandness of The Love We Make from Emancioation.

I like it a lot. The guitar solo is short and sweet. But on the other hand, it could have been much better if the solo was extended a little bit and the lalala-la-la-latin jazz interlude had been completely ditched. If only I had the time and energy I did 5 years ago to bother to edit the hell out of it.

I wonder what makes Prince decide to open or close an album with the title track...almost wonder why he opened PE with this since it is kind of anthemic, a la Gold or Purple Rain. Would make a good closer.

But then maybe he didn't want to be predictable

I like the song, btw.

It's a grower for me

Has more longetivity and more meaning than Purple Rain.

I love this song

a reminder of the sextravaganzaa that was o2 & 21 nights of planet bliss

the song ist o.k., but i don't like, how he's produced

Worst opening song on a Prince album ever.

of course. and...?

Have not heard it since the first time I played it just like Condition Of The Heart and Still Would Stand All Time...boring and cheesy to me.

Just somebody saying "planet earth" sounds like some 'new hipster talk' from the 60's to sound cool...I just couldnt do it.

Wow, I never cease to be shocked by the limitations some have in their listening habits lol. So u have only heard these 3 songs 1 time and dismissed them for all eternity? I find that shocking. Do u apply that to other things in life as well. One strike you're out. Part of growing is giving things a chance past the inital moment.

That second statement about "hipster talk" makes absolutely no sense what so ever.

really like the track, always reminde me of strays of the world. would´ve loved to have the whole cd sound a bit like it. But to be honest when at first I disliked the cd planet earth, nowadays I like it...

Awesome awesome awesome guitar climax to this track, shae it couldn't concentrate on that part...love it all but the bridge is a tad cheesy8-)

I think he should have stayed with the Earth idea and used it more as a political album. SHOE sort or fits in but then it gets way off with the other songs. I don't think there is another Prince song that sounds anything like Planet Earth, but I may be wrong.
