Top 25 soundtracks of all time: Parade #22 - Purple Rain #2 http://audiotuts.com/web-...-all-time/
#22 - Parade "Some soundtracks are just a little bit better than their respective movies. And then, there is Parade. The soundtrack was recorded in the midst of Prince's phenomenal run of 1980's albums and includes some of his greatest work ever ("Kiss", "Girls and Boys", "Sometimes It Snow In April"). The movie. Well, that's a different story." #2 - "Purple Rain is that rare album where, without exception, every song could have been released as a single. For the most part, the songs don't really have a damn thing to do with the movie, but who cares? He did perform most of them live in the film, that's good enough. Easily Prince's most popular album ever, some of his most enduring tunes can be found here. The title track, "I Would Die 4 U" and "When Doves Cry" by themselves make this an essential purchase. Sadly, thanks to his newfound religion, he doesn't perform "Darling Nikki" live anymore. Come back, Nikki indeed. Most of the other songs are still staples in his live show to this day." Both very true. I agree..... [Edited 10/27/08 11:06am] "So strange that no one stayed at the end of the Parade..." - Wendy & Lisa's "Song About" on their 1987 self-titled album.

I agree pretty much with the top ten except "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid" and " The last Waltz". Instead I would have the "Footloose" soundtrack or "Boomerang" soundtrack at 9. (Take you pick). And "Waiting To Exhale" at 6. The rest can stay where they're at. Peace and be wild! | |
