Does anyone NOT have Purple Rain?

I was talking to a friend that said of all his favorite artists, he doesn't ever buy their top commercial hit album (ex: he loves Red Hot Chili Peppers but he doesn't own Blood Sugar Sex Magic).

That got me wondering if any of the orgers don't have PR. And if you don't, why not?

That's strange. Why would you not buy a bands best selling album just because it's their best selling album?

I would tell your friend to re-think that brilliant concept...

And EVERYONE owns AT LEAST one copy of PR... if not 2, one Vinyl and one disc...

....and the movie on VHS and DVD

How'm I gonna fill this empty room...

? If you bought the album in 1984 when it came out, how would you or anyone at the time know it was or would be the most popular album. At that time it was 1999 not Purple Rain. shrug

your mate sounds like an utter wanker

so perhaps if they had another massive hit that outsold their last hit he could then buy it.........

so could he buy sgnt pepper or did that outsell rubber soul?

If your friend does it that way, then he is becoming a fan of these groups AFTER they have made it big. So in other words, somebody becoming a new Prince fan, I can see them applying this concept because there is so much to choose from.

But if somebody is your favorite artists, most likely you will have their top album. Now it may not be your FAVORITE album but it most likely will be in your collection.

Unless it's a freak career where some artists have super successful albums in their early career, then a lull, then a comeback. Like somebody not having 5 by Lenny Kravitz, but have Mama Said.

I only have the DVD of the film, but not the actual physical copy of the album (although I've downloaded it anyway). But that's mainly because I've only been a fan for a few years.

I guess moderators feel it's okay to have "some" people call out others by name mercilessly on here, but when the moderators little "butt boys" wanna' attack others, it's okay.... mods need real lives to live.

So you don't even have his most famous album (not his best) but you consider you fan level is 'Obsessed'.

I wonder what would you have to call, then, what normal people consider an obsession...

I bought the CD and the movie, so... lol .

The cynical part of me wants to say your friend is kind of a music snob who intentionally snubs anything commerically popular.

Having said that - Purple Rain really isn't Prince's best work to me, so ....

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

Sounds like the pinnacle of someone that has self esteem issues and can only feel better about themselves when they call others names for simply doing things differently than they would. Feel better now?

You don't have the official cd but you do have it in some form (ex: digital copy, etc)? Is that just the case for PR or for other albums?

I do have it. But I don't think it's necessary to have an artist's top album. The thing should be implanted on your synapses coz after playing it so much you've lent it out and never got it back.
