SOTD - 3 Chains o' Gold

If there's one Prince song which I could listen to forever and never get tired of, it's this. This song, imho, is one, if not THE greatest Prince song EVER!!!

Think about it, it has everything, the love song start, the guitar jamz, that middle - oooh! that middle - then the climatic end with the operatic voices and the whole build-up to the wind down.

This song is Great! I'll dig it 4eva, what do u guys think? This is my fav song atm.

Hope you're fucking kidding!
this is one of the most pretentious song Prince ever wrote...i don't say it has no musical quality but it's way too bombastic... very far from one of his best.
Sometimes i get scared at people taste on this site...

Yeah, I figured that. I was just having fun. I live in a country that makes an acronym of everything (Singapore, sorry sg).

I'm with you on 3COG. I really like the song. I know it's full on, and some people say it's corny, but so what, I enjoy it for what it is.

I love this song like I love ice cream.

As to the "pretentious" remark: Someone posted a thread not too long ago that asked the question: "3 Chains O' Gold: genius or pretentious drivel?" The answer was easy: pretentious genius.

After ten years of hearing this song, I still don't get tired of it. With "And God Created Woman" and "Sacrifice of Victor" you get a deliciously rich and fatty three-course meal.

Yeah, the Love Symbol Album is one fat Thanksgiving Turkey on CD, with the juicy bits towards the end (see Prince's ass)

3 Chains of Gold is possibly the most embarrassing Prince song of all time. Grotesque.

one of my least favorite prince songs, however the guitar playing is pretty good, but as a song, i am not a fan.
