I will honestly say that there are too many to name and thinking about it, this thread has made me realise just how amazing Prince kicks off a tune from goosebumps of the opening Purple rain chords to the psychotic wail of Gett off... So my answer is....the majority of all his songs

AlexNevermind2 8	It has to be Gett Off. That intro really gets you into the song from the first line.

1999 has got to be one of the greatest intros ever.

But am appreciating P* Control right now:

Computer Blue

The Wendy...Yes, Lisa part. I literally wore out my cassestte rewinding it and playing it over and over back in 84.

On a side note, I remember getting Around the World In A Day on lp the day it came out and was sure it was skipping on America. I got the cassette shortly after that and realized that is how it was supposed to be.

Probably the intro to Let's Go Crazy. The chords, the lyrics about the shrink and the beat, it sounds so unique and interesting. It catches my attention everytime.

Yep!

Let's Go Crazy

Housequake

i wonder how many people, other than myself, though that their brand new tape was being destroyed by their tape deck the first time they heard it?

I bought the lp first and was sure it was skipping, so I bought the tape to see...same thing!

Condition of the Heart

with When the Lights Go Down a close second.

[Edited 8/7/12 8:25am]

For intros-- I love the meandering at the beginning of Condition of the Heart. I also love the randomness the spoken word of Pheremone, the horror of the screams of Darling Nikki right before the synths, the soul of America, and the raw beauty of Adore....going to listen to them all right now razz

Gotta go with the epic Crystal Ball with Clare's string arrangement -- beautifully spooky. For the record, my favorite ending is "3 Chains o' Gold", seriously...

This thread makes me realize how many amazing song intros prince has done. It makes me want to tbink about whether my other favorite artists do it, too ... but I'll save that for another day. From P:

1999
When Doves Cry***
Let's Go Crazy
Computer Blue
Darling Nikki
Paisley Park
Housequake
Eye No
Gett Off
Come
2 Nigs United for West Compton
1 + 1 + 1 is 3 (I can't stand the song, but the intro is cool)
Sensual Everafter

*** = my favorite
