Well, it's a little too early in the game for me to choose. Given that I've listened to Purple Rain some 100 times in the past year... and SOTT only 6-7 times this past month... I can't really say one over the other right now, although SOTT does have a lot more variety (and twice as many songs  )... then there's the question of quantity vs. quality.
Right now, I'd have to say SOTT just cuz its still roughly new to me. And the Camille songs on SOTT are a juicy bonus... nothing else like 'em. had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

What the hell happened to you, girl? 5-week hiatus for winter break. Now back at school. One more thing I wanted to say about these 2... together along with 1999, they define my view of Prince as an artist... The Beautiful Ones and When Doves Cry are my 2 favorites on PR... but I've got a zillion favorties on SOTT... Dorothy Parker, Starfish & Coffee, 4ever in my life, If  was ur g/f (LOVE that one) and I could never take the place of ur man are my current favorites off that album.had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong.

I'm all late to this party  . Tough as hell as I love both of these albums to death. Both albums are important in the Purple world as it established Prince either commericially or and artistically as an artist. As tough as it is, my votes for Purple Rain. Purple Rain is what helped Prince not only become a household name but as big as the album was, it also helped put Prince in a position that he could do whatever he wanted to do and it would be successful.
Purple Rain is my choice but the artistry and brilliance in SOTT cannot be denied. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

Something else: I love the drums on the 'Purple Rain' album.Most of the songs have an amazing beat that just jumps out at you! Listen to "Let's Go Crazy" and "Computer Blue",you'll see what I mean. I love SOTT,but I think 'Purple Rain' is a much more vibrant album. | |
