Your 3 favourite consecutive Prince album trax

As the title says , we're looking here for 3 excellent consecutive cuts off the same album , a segment off his records where you can sit back and now youre gonna love every second for the next 10 or so minutes maybe.When I was thinking about this , first of all I was thinking of my all-time fave Prince songs , but found that the adjacent tracks on the album I wasnt quite as enthused about .I eventually narrowed it down to 3 contenders :

Partyman / Vicki waiting /trust (cos I love the batman album)
lets Go crazy / take me with U / The Beautiful Ones (Purple Rain is such a tight focussed album though i could maybe choose any 3 consecutive tracks off it)

and the winner, my all time fave 3 track segment , goes tooooo....

Billy Jack Bitch / I Hate U / Gold

"Billy jack bitch" is fonky as anything hes released in the 90s ; "I hate U" , probably his best ballad of the last maybe 15 years and Gold is such a great album closer ,builds to a real crescendo and the perfect finish to one of his best albums I think.

This is not necessarily my three all time favs but I'm listening to Chaos and Disorder right now and I love the first three tracks

Chaos and Disorder
I Like It There
Dinner With Delores

I'm serious about the above answer. I know it's a pretty hated album but I really like Chaos and Disorder

Purple Rain was a good pick. I really love side 4 of Sign O The Times.

Dirty Mind, in my opinion, is very tight all the way through.

But the best is side three of SOTT:

STRANGE RELATIONSHIP

Luv that graphic...but it should be a walkman instead of a roller skating radio by ear!

too funny. luv your choices. i remember playing new position/i wonder u/under the cherry moon over and over and over.

did the same w/let's go crazy...convincing myself it was ok that apollonia made vanity sound like beverly sills

there's just WAAAAY too many! I just took a look at Around the World in a Day (which was the album I took the bus to get to the recka stow and listened to on the bus riding home and emoting the whole time. TAMBOURI-INE! Temptation had some buzz about it at the time, and it was well worth it...I listened to that song the other day and P can play his @ss off!

You don't have to apologize for what you like. I like the album too. Even if I didn't like it, your answer is cool.

Family Name/Everlasting Now/Last December

Christopher Tracy's Parade/New Position/I Wonder U

Freaks on this side/Come On/The One

I think you've noticed something interesting here. Prince does seem to put together a good stream of songs, usually in 3s

Christopher Tracy's Parade/New Position/I Wonder U - Sheer bliss.

SOTT/Play in the Sunshine/Housequake - Doesn't suck.

And I'm sure there are some three-in-a-rows on the Symbol album that I dig a lot, but I always think of that record as a gigantic grab-bag of brilliance and suckitude, so the track listing is always a bit of a random jumble in my head.
