PrintableWell I really thought  know off of Lovesexy was quite terrible.
I always skip or try to since its all on 1 track on the cd. wasn't too fond of the first track off of new power soul either I did like jam of the year though, had a nice little jazzy thing goin' on and i did like thunder too, but it had to grow on me. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

 yes it is. i used to think not. until i was out in the desert and this girl in our camp was the "dj" for the moment and she put solo on. it was a strange choice...certainly out of all P songs to choose this one. but it was just the desert wind and this song playing at a very loud volume. very pretty. sometimes you have to be in the right place to hear and understand some of the more difficult songs he has.

Damn u beat me! I was also thinking Can't stop this feeling I've got was kinda corny. Certainly not the type of opening we are used to. Hmm makes me realize this is a hard one. Not too many bad openers for a guy that makes the opening songs sometimes his strongest. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

JDINTERACTIVE said: My Name Is Prince. It would be interesting to know what Prince was thinking when he wrote it. I think it would be fair to suggest that he was feeling somewhat insecure as his star began to wane. The suggestion that Prince was angry that
 hadn't been a hit and wanted Warners to release another album of material perhaps strengthens this view if there is any truth to what I've read.
I find the song whilst OK-ish musically, the vocal delivery and lyrics somewhat embarassing and unecessary. Speaking as a fan, there was and indeed never is no such need for Prince to prove his worth as an artist. I can only imagine listeners who have no interest in Prince would find My Name Is Prince perhaps-pathetic? narcissistic? boring?... All this and no mention of Tony M! Good shout JD! It's either that or 'Can't Stop This feeling i Got' purely for the cheesy monologue that it opens with, also i happen to prefer the original version. |

BorisFishpaw said: Thunder!!!?
I like that track, plus it's a great opener! Man, Rave WISHES it was Thunder!  Rave is el-stinko, but Thunder is just so shiny and polished with no guts, it's like like listening to chrome-plated ca ca. But, I like Arms Of Orion, so who am I to question any man's tastes? Love ya Boris.  If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

3bogs said: Emancipation88 said: Com'on "Jam Of the Year" is a mad opener, if any song should have been a single from Emancipation it should have been, that one. Yeah I agree with CC. Jam of the Year is a bag of shit. It's so not the jam of the year - one of the worst tracks on emancipation. Should've just gone straight into Get yo groove on. Rave is poor too. But NewPower Soul is the worst by a good distance. All the fellas say "woof" if you only giving up the bone 
One of his lamest lyrics ever. | |

hmm.. id go with rave too, but 'my name is prince' is definitley my favourite opener, infact before i heard this song on the radio, i had absolutely no interest in prince or his music, so this was THE song that got me started, i love it! | |

"1999"
The album version. Like every song on 1999, it's way, WAY TOO LONG! Even as an extended 12" mix it still would've been tedious. I never thought I'd get sick of that synth groove, but by the five minute mark when we're into all that unnecessary "Mommmy? Why has everybody got a bomb?" blether, it's become dull. The more common single edit is much better. | |
