They have not lied.
Let's Go Crazy is cool as hell from the Dearly Beloved set-up to the guitar solo to the metaphors and attitude. Signature Prince. | |

Here's what Retro said THE ALBUM TO BUY IT AT AMAZON
Prince's most well known album is certainly full of great hits, but "Let's Go Crazy" is clearly the leader for having the coolest parts. There's actually 2 amazing ones to choose from. As retroCRUSH reader Brian Leet writes, "From the solemn opening organ chords to the first riff, Prince builds it up to a frenzy. Prince's Sunday morning faux sermon is a perfect touch." Equally impressive is that crack addict from hell twitchy guitar solo at the end that uses Voodoo Power to summon Jimi Hendrix from the grave. Even the most jaded redneck who wouldn't get within a mile next to anything colored purple, would drop his can of SKOAL and shout, "Damn...that boy can play guitar!"  | |

I don't like lists and stuff, but this time, I agree with them. Let's Go Crazy is a kick-ass, hard rocking jam!  NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

I think Let's Go Crazy should be higher than #43, but I'm not mad at Phil Collins at #1. You gotta adimit that song rocks! SO WHAT IF WE'RE CONTROLLING ALL THE OIL, IS IT WORTH THE CHILD DYING 4?

moderatorI don't think much of a list that puts Tenacious D ahead of Prince. | |

There's not another song that has more energy and so fun 2 party 2. Nothing else sounds like it 2 this day. The best Intro and Ending 2 a Pop/Rock song i think that i've ever heard! U,ME,WE!....2FUNKY! | |

But considering the fact that this list is about the best song PARTS, I believe it's accurate... in that sense at least. One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.
Knick knack patty whack give a dog a bone. 2000-00 party OOP outta time... my bacon's smelling fine. | |

agreed. Let's go crazy has some crazy guitar riffs and the Extended Version from Purple Rain (the movie performance) just adds to it. The jam is just jaw-dropping. | |

that list is kinda bogus. how can phil collins be number one? Oh well. It's their opinion...  | |

I would've picked Neil Peart's drum fills on #15. Those launched the careers of ten million basement drummers (including moi!).... | |
