Mountains is an awesome track.

No highlights after that though? Plenty for me.

.

But yeah, Mountains IS that great. Absolutely love the track.

Comedy central

You're entitled to your opinion. Entitled... but wrong.

I would like to draw attention to: Your deliberately troll like thread title... You could have used a little such as "The best Prince song EVER... Mountains". Just an odd thing for a fan to do... just sayin'.

Joy in repitition indeed.

Moderators? "On the one..."

Nothing I have read by Cloreen indicated they are actually a Prince fan. Most of the posts I have seen have been super negative. Last great Prince song... Lol the next album had If I Was UR Girlfriend.

I have purposely not responded to Cloreen for most of the last month because I figured maybe he/she is grieving. Cloreen's posts have been inflammatory and/or antaganistic at the very least. Give it a rest...

Even if what you are saying is true, why illicite anger during a time people are trying to reflect and focus on positive traits about the man?

So Sign 'O' the Times, The Black Album, Lovesexy, Batman, "Gett Off," "Insatiable" "7," "Thieves in the Temple," "Black Sweat," "The One," "Dreamer," "Crimson & Clover," "CLOUDS" and "U're Gonna C Me" never happened?

Just like New York after 9/11, people can only get along due to their shared grief for so long, then, back to normal...

This thread is completely preposterous. Mountains is an ok song, but I've never understood the love it gets here. The song glides along in a sweet non-offensive kind of way, but it lacks any bite, urgency, or transcendence. Check this out ... Mountains was the first single where I thought Prince was slipping a bit. It was just so tame. Please, please, please can somebody explain to me what you like so much about this song? Lyrics, beat, guitars, vocals, arrangement, what is it?

It's a great song first of all, no contest. But what always gets me is:

1 The gospel piano in the verse

2 The horns in the chorus.

Transcendent.

David Beckham is "Diamonds And Pearls"

Pele is "Mountains"

Sign O' the Times is Johan Cruijff.

Of course they happened. They just didn't contain a song as monumentally stupendous and mighty as "Mountains."

.

Nor did any other post-1986 album. However, "Come" does come close with "Space" and "Loose!" Ahh, those songs were magnificent. Just not as magnificent as "Mountains."

I think that the folks here sometimes need reminding that not all Prince fans live in the US. So that basketball reference makes no sense to me. Sorry, Cloreen.

.

OK.

David Beckham is "Diamonds And Pearls"

Pele is "Mountains"

Hahahahah! Good one.

Crimson and Clover?

as hilarious as this statement about mountains being prince's last great moment is, i will say this - the video for mountains is the best prince put out there. the best, jerry. i like the video more than i like the song.

.

Sorry but video is very shitty.

"Mountains" is a good song,but I don't think it is the big masterpiece that some fans think it is.It's not even the best song on Parade,imo.

Me neither.

Weeding Fest wasn't considered here in the org as one of his worst songs?
