This is hard because so many of his songs have amazing introductions. "When Doves Cry" came to mind because the song starts out with the guitar. The vast majority of his songs have intros. The only song of P's that I can think of off the top of my head without an intro is "The Love We Make."

I agree that SAIMH has a great intro.

Here are some others:

Let's Go Crazy

The Beautiful Ones

Diamonds and Pearls

Cream

U Got the Look

If I Was Your Girlfriend

Darling Nikki (not a song that I particularly like, but the opening guitar riff is pretty awesome)

LRC

Insatiable

Kiss

Mountains

Anotherloverholenyohead

Black Muse

Live 4 Love ~ Love is God, God is love, Girls and boys love God above

on his first album alone:

Baby
Im Yours
Crazy You

and of course as mentioned earlier, the title song is by far, the ultimate career introduction

Prince and Earth, Wind & Fire, were always the greatest at starting and finishing songs...

Agree with nearly all of these so far, but no one has said the most obvious one

....

Around the world in a day, I mean wow squared, all the Arabic and Indian instruments and then he goes "Ohhhaowwooooowww!!" with the darbuka and sitar with a kettle drum. I mean wow, all from Jonathon Melvoin and Coleman's session in June 1984, that Prince gave them as a birthday gift.

.

The early version of Strange Relationship also has a beautiful Sitar and darbuka style opening.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

My current favourite has to be 'She's Always in My Hair'. That introduction is so funky, so powerful, so bloomin' CATCHY - I just play it over and over again, lol!
.
Second favourite: '17 Days' - I know this might sound odd, but the combination of bass and drums - well, it's CHEWY!!! I don't know how else to put it, other than it makes me want to chew on it. eek
.
What are your favourites - just a couple - that make your hair stand on end, send prickles down your spine, and make your heart pound?
.


I like your ear lol biggrin good ones!
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

Cause tomorrow is taking too long
and yesterday's too far away
and the reality that you believe in begins to bind.
