fan appreciation wise, i'll go with take me with u
radio-play wise--i'll go with computer blue--i never hear that on the radio--ever!!

I'm going to say Take Me with U. It's the only song that I always skip from Purple Rain.

Take Me With U and Computer Blue, I never hear much about either of them.

I agree with Take Me With U definately! Computer Blue,on the other hand, gets a whole lotta love on the org and rightfully so!

i do the same

I always wondered what Take Me With U would sound like with just Prince on vocals (not a duet).

For me though, the most-skipped-over song is The Beautiful Ones. Not because it's substandard in any way, but it's rare that I'm in the mood for ballads.

fan appreciation: TAKE ME WITH U (worst song on PURPLE RAIN)

radio play: DARLING NIKKI (explicit lyrics)

i've heard darling nikki a gazillion times on the radio, especially here in bmore/dc
don't think i've ever heard computer blue though

Baby I'm A Star. im sorry the album version does nothing for me.

I'll say the last 1:41 minutes of the song purple rain, just drags on.

honestly, i never really liked "take me with u" much until he released the live video version

In general, Take Me With You. Personally, Purple Rain.

"I Would Die 4 U" has the most undernourished tune, IMO

I like the maxi live version, mainly because I noticed the other day at around ten minutes in, Prince calls out "Jimmy Greaves!" I had no idea the ex-Spurs centre forward was in Prince's expanded Revolution line up.

I always thought I was the only one annoyed by TMWU

Take Me With U. I cannot stand Apollonia's caterwauling.

"Father's song" is great! I listen to CB just to hear that!

I was listening to CB yesterday and that guitar solo is so sweet -- every time -- every time -- I feel like SINGING!

As for the rest of PR - my least favorite is PR - I think the rest of the album is awesome

I like "take me with U". I realize it's not the best ballad. I guess it's time in my life thing. Also a very cool part of the movie. Seeing Prince on motorcycle is cool. Even that's a pretty wussy bike.

"I would die for you" a lot fluff. And the jesus metaphor not working for me.

It seems like a lot of people aren't into Computer Blue all that much.
Forgive me, though, cuz the album version's all I have to go by right now.

I think it is awesome, regardless of the fact it was shredded to fit in. I just wish it wasn't so addictive.

"Take me with U", hands down, is the least popular. I'm not that crazy about it. I'm not quite sure what Prince saw in Apollonia (besides the fact he probably thought she was a "fox") cuz she can't really sing all that well.
Sometimes, I do get it, though. Cuz my mind puts a more personal spin on it, like I'm the one saying "take me with u" to Prince

I wasn't all that crazy about "Baby I'm A Star" the first I heard it (this was pre-Prince 4 me). Cuz I wanted it to end, I thought it was too long. And I preferred "I Would Die 4 U" cuz I like the beat so much more. But after seeing him do it in the movie (the entirity of the movie), I enjoy it so much more.

Take Me With U is the least popular 4 me.Nice hearing it in the movie,tho.

computer blue is the weakest on the album by far

Take me with U....would have been much better without the female vocal or maybe just as an instrumental.

I've heard him sing it live before, and it sounds great. It really doesn't need to be a duet, since they basically just sing in unison anyway.

I think this is his finest album, without any bad tracks.

The best track is Computer blue, My least favorite is Take Me with U.

However its still a cool song

Ditto - I dont like the song at all

I'll agree with Take Me With U, but have to say I don't see much love for LGC around here...
"Lesser" fans seem to still really like it though.

Let's Go Crazy kinda gets boring after a while. I mean, I liked it when I first heard it... but it doesn't really get me going as much as it used to.

Still... that song is the fastest 4.5 minutes of my life. That's what's great about it.
