How dare you say COMPUTER BLUE! oh my word! Are you serious! Computer Blue rocks from start to end!! I love that cd, but my least favorite would have to be TAKE ME WITH U. The only part in that song I like is: just don't break up the connection...

Are you directing that comment to me???? - Did you EVEN read my post - I said the song I would remove would be Take Me With You second choice would be Baby, I'm a Star. I always close my post with lyrics from a Prince or Prince related artist that connects with my post.

What misfortune left your heart so broken U only say
Words intended 2 belittle or dismay?
What if I say U lie?

Purple Rain itself is the worst song on this album. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it, but it's pretty weak compared to the rest of the tracks. The only justice he ever did for it was on the '85 AMA's.

PR is his best work ever, period.


That's a bold statement hmmm smile
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

It's VERY hard to answer such a question.

I mean, it's like asking someone what is the best scene in Graffiti Bridge--VERY hard to do it unless you understand the context.

Every song on Purple Rain is a masterpiece

though "I Would Die 4 U" is my least favourite and is also
the least interesting musically,.

Every song on there is excellent, the only thing that's a little off is Apollonia on Take Me With U.

Take Me With You.
Apollonia sounds a hot mess.

S

nod She sounds like somebody who just got all of their teeth pulled.


She sounds like somebody that had a few fleeting moments of fame by hangin' with Prince and dressing in underwear.

I would have to say my least favorite is "Take Me With You", and that's only for the Apollonia factor.

Uh, "Take Me with You" is a really lame "duet" with "Let's Go Crazy" not a distant second. The rest: masterpiece, y'all.




CO SIGN on the first part....Not a big "Take Me with U" fan...but LETS GO CRAZY????? you have gotta be fuggin kiddin me... excellent song...one of the best intros (and Endings, as a matter of fact) in music. Least Favorite: TAKE ME WITH U


and to think someone even mentioned ":Computer Blue"....dats the joint!
Tsk Tsk, What a pity...sometimes Life can be so shitty....

For what it's worth the least are Let's Go Crazy, Take Me With U and Baby I'm A Star.
All the other songs range from 'good' to 'great'.

I disagree it's so cachy, so happy, so good.
You just gotta love this simple song!
Especially the 12inch ROCKS big time!

The one that goes 1 2 3 4... U! with all these conga or bongo sounds, that one. wink

i like mariah..so...
don't get me wrong I like purple rain, but come on, is it really his best artistically???
SOTT, Lovesexy, TGE..those are great albums, without the pop feel to it...

\

TGE and Lovesexy are the overated ones, wayyyyy overated
Purple Rain is underated by some some because it was such a comercial succes.
every song on there is a masterpeice, including "take me with you"
the new tour is almost all of the purple rain album.....because these songs stand the test of time.
TGE didnt stand the test of time, neither did Lovesexy, and basically everything after lovesexy.

someone musta "fucked the taste out of his mouth", to quote the man himself.

Take Me With U is a great pop song... The rest of the album is really great too. The only weak link in Purple Rain for me is I Would Die 4 U. Interesting chorus, lyrically, but that's about all that holds my interest in this song.

And Computer Blue long version kills all the other songs, except for maybe Purple Rain in concert.

It´s easy 2 say PR isn´t that important...NOW!!!
But when it came out it was´DA BOMB!!!!!
This one was played in dance-clubs AND alternative bars,
no other artist was-and is-xcepted by both crowds(maybe Bowie&Springsteen).
Let´s Go Crazy has always been my less fav,it was great when
they used 2 play it so much,at least they played Prince
and even some BonJovi fans got in to it but...hmmm,that´s no good huh????

If the songs are performed live, Purple Rain is one of the best, but it is the worst song on the album as far as the album version goes.

So you think all the songs are equally good or you are too dumb or lazy to pick one that you like the least...sad.
