Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Should we refer to the SOTT concert DVD really as a movie?
If, then it has to be on my list too. See, I can't pick just one...

I know this is going to sound odd, but i dont consider Purple Rain a soundtrack.

I see it as the opposite. I think the film accompanies the music.

So to me Purple Rain is a filmtrack.

Soundtrack: Parade
Best Song: Mountains or Batdance
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

I was actually thinking about "Purple Rain" being the most visual Prince album precisely because he was preoccupied with the making of the film. He mentions "painting a perfect picture" in "Beautiful Ones" and "Dig if you will the picture" in "When Doves Cry." It's also the first album title that is a concrete image versus a conceptual idea ("Dirty Mind," "Controversy," "1999.")....

Anyway, the best Prince soundtrack: "Purple Rain."

Best song: "Beautiful Ones."

Album- Clearly Purple Rain

Song- When Doves Cry (which I describe as the most unique song I've ever heard)

TRC isn't a soundtrack album and "If I Was The Man In Your Life" ain't a soundtrack song.

And at the debut live performance of several Purple Rain songs (including a few performances that were actually used for the album), Prince performed "A Case of You" which has the line, "Oh I am a lonely painter; I live in a box of paints." It also contains a line about drawing a picture on the back of a coaster.

Soundtrack: Purple Rain
Best song used in a movie: "Purple Rain" -- it was the perfect song for that moment -- it conveyed everything The Kid had gone through, and brought resolution to ALL his relationships with other people in the movie. Plus, it's one of the best songs ever written or performed. For good reason, the album and song were both huge milestones for Prince.
