Best Opener on an Album

This is the song that you put on full blast when the CD starts and it just kicks your ass all the way through. Best track one for me?

Christopher Tracy's Parade eyepop

I wish u heaven

I'm with you Spooky. Eye No is easily in his top ten tracks

lonelyxmas1	I'm with you Spooky. Eye No is easily in his top ten tracks How can Eye no be one of his top ten best tracks when it obviously did not even make the top ten opening tracks off a record? Answer that.

Around the World in a day - it's so unexpected especially when first listening in 1985 straight after purple rain. But Christopher Tracy's Parade also demands the volume knob be turned up as well and left up for the rest of the album...

I wanna vote for "I wanna be your lover" as best.

But I'm suprised there isn't heavy support for "P. Control" with the building keyboards and Mayte saying all that spanish then it kicking into that bad-a** beat.

p.s. I also like Chaos and Disorder as an opening song

"this is where the PURPLE PARTY PEOPLE be"

blackwell1	Whoo, this is tough! It's gotta be between 1999, Let's Go Crazy and Sign 'O The Times. Each has a serious claim to the throne. The rest are good but still pretenders to the Best Opener throne. I guess I'll give the nod to ... oh, say ... Let's Go Crazy!

Poem.

No, really. It is a track that has three layers:

1) Prince is leading his girl to orgasm

2) Prince is making fun of WB's expectations of him

3) Prince is guiding the listener towards the first track (Interactive).

It's friggin' brilliant. biggrin
