If any modern day artist/band could pull off another "Purple Rain"... ...who do you think it would be?
In my opinion, I think Gwen Stefani and No Doubt could possibly pull it off. Just something about their music seems to give off a new wave/synth feel to them. They're the only band that I can think of that could possibly pull one off... Ooh, little darlin' if you're

Eminem already did with "8 Mile." It was a total PR ripoff, but it worked just the same. | |

Exactly. if that's what you meant by pulling off another purple rain. 8 mile was an exact replica of purple rain but with rap. | |

8 mile didn't have nearly the impact on pop culture that Purple Rain did. I remember how people reacted to Purple Rain in '84. It was a hysteria. I am a teacher, and kids dig Eminem, but most of them think 8 Mile is "just okay". It's not the same. "New Power slide...." |
