LOL We'll see. Against 'When Doves Cry?' I could cry. Not sure I can get through this round . . . . Probably won't want to see any of them go. (haven't seen the entire brackets of the Sweet 16.)

We have a couple of ties, so I'm going to go ahead and throw a ballot in here to break them before we move on.

Purple Rain--Still electrifying. Easily my favorite of what's left...well, except maybe Little Red Corvette.

7--Computer Blue is fire, but 7 is thunder. I'll take thunder. (Ah, if only Thunder had made the bracket.)

Little Red Corvette--Pure excellence.

Forever In My Life--I put this one on a soundtrack CD that my wife and I gave out at our wedding, and it got even the Prince-haters (i.e. most everyone else I know) digging it.

Head--So much for Dirty Mind dominating these brackets, but dammit, I still love me some Head. razz

Automatic--Virtual coin flip.

The Beautiful Ones--I can definitely pick this one over Let's Work without much deliberation.

Anna Stesia--Another coin flip, and it's good to be somewhere where Lovesexy gets the love it deserves.

Elite 8 starts shortly.
