Song or songs you wish were shorter.

Which song or songs do wish were shorter? For me it's COME. I could do without about the last 3 minutes of the song. To me it just starts to get boring. Love the song and album (most underrated album already disscussed) but the song itself is just too long.

We won't get into songs that I wish were longer too many to count.

I believe that was one of my edits when I went through D&P and prince and edited Tony M. out. I love that song, but that extended bridge portion is really weird and over-cooked.

Cloreen Bacon Skin. That 15 minutes could have been put to better use on Crystal Ball.

Cloreen is the least of the time-wasting nonsense on the CB set. The whole set (3 disks) is 2:30. 150 minutes.

Two disks can hold 160 with 10 so spare. THAT is the biggest crime of wasted space, and a high price tag. Take out the remixes like "Get Loose", "P Control", and the repeated "Tell Me How U Wanna B Done", and you have even more time for more vault stuff.

Sleep Around could do without about 3 minutes and be vastly improved 4 it.

Listen to me on The House of Pop Culture podcast on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/u...d438631917

<-- Nothing wrong with Come, cool

Come is long, true... but pure genius of a song.

I love this and the whole album too.

I have no answer to your question....... I usually love the long jams,

like the "America" 12 inch and the extended songs on "1999"!

Love the song "Sleep Around", but 7mins is too much, it could end like 2 minutes sooner.

Last minute of "Girls and Boys"

Also love "Love U 2 the 9s" but Mayte's part is just silly, I like the booty boom part, cause I remember having that song play at a party and EVERY man was happy cause us girls got DOWN!

The last 4½ minutes of Life o the Party.

The last 5:45 minutes of Beautiful, Loved, and Blessed.

Cutting that off would really improve on those great songs.

"Love" and "(There'll Never B) Another Like Me". Both good songs that are spoiled by too much noodling in the final minutes. Wouldn't have minded it as a bonus track, but on the album, it just bogs it down a bit IMO. Pretty small complaint, mind you lol

The long version of "America" would have been better if it faded at about 8:00.

Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for.

I can't even take your list seriously enough to get down to "Crystal Ball" cuz I'm still tripping on you thinking "Come" is too long.

Crystal Ball? Really???

That song's among my top five... I feel it's the perfect length. There'll Never B Another Like Me...I'll agree on that one...

As much as I think that beat and rap part is cool, is certainly does not fit the flowery, mellow feeling of the song. If it were a seperate track I'd probably dig both parts even more.

Anyone who thinks "Come", "Days of Wild", "The War", or "Crystal Ball" is too long has no real ear or appreciation for great Prince musical moments.

twenty minutes is all it takes. to realise that the honey is full of cheap wine and the other last man standing is a desperate irish twammer. sorry love, i'm leaving despite your pussy face.

i think the entirety of for you and prince can be time compressed into the arse gesture of the Diamonds and Pearls tour shot in London, thereby creating an infinite energy resource which stops people clammering for oil, while at the same time eliminating the existence of trolls, who are 4chan/b/ and can go fuck themselves cuz this is one meme you can never take over or invent forward slash

sorry, but Purple Rain. It is too long. Maybe without the last minute, it will be better ? But now, it is awesome, even it is such long .
