It never gets old folks. I can listen to it at any time, any place. It rarely gets boring. It still makes me close my eyes and groove to the soulful singing and powerful drum beat. It still moves my heart and drives my soul. The live versions, on the other hand I usually avoid. I prefer the original and always will. Who still gets juiced by PR? Anyone bored by it and why?

Thanks. kiss.

i still felt it when i saw him perform it live in London on
2007 - 09 - 13

(and a few other live verions , although some are boring)

and i still like the album version too

I do really like the German live version from 1994.

I never get tired of it. It's the perfect rock anthem.

For a long time I was burned out by Purple Rain. I can enjoy listening to it again. The same with 1999.

1999 I'm burned out on..lol

The performance at Montreux was pretty terrif.

can't stand hearing this song anymore ..and with the concerts i have, it's the perfect time 2 go 2 the or the perfect song 2 at

I havent listened to it for 3 years now I even turn the radio station when it comes on.

I always watch the vids.

I do,but i picture myself in Prince place threw(i proabaly used the wrong Through or Threw,so dont try to slander me) the whole song.

Up until a few years ago I couldn't stand listening to PR but in recent years the live performance has become better and better, especially the Montreux one and also the Superbowl.

I DO get tired of his COVER of NC2U though

me too. i could do without ever hearing that again, eventho the
album is still brilliant to me. i listen to it often but always
skip the title track.

purple rain, i listen to perhaps twice a year. it's not that i
don't like it anymore or have heard it too often. i just have
to be in the mood for it, and i rarely am these days.

Maybe you should spend more time in remedial English and less time on the org.

stop being so harsh on the dude

I never gets tired of the classics, 1978-1995...

it's albums like 3121 and Planet Earth I get tired of

LOVE IT!!! Even to this day, that song still has the same effect on me that it did when it first came out.

It's a great song but the drums sound very dated. The drums bother me. They subtract some soul from a very soulful song.

And that is why I rarely listen to it these days.

Still do and always will listen to it(any version), can't get tired of it, love it to death.

I can't get tired of it. When he's about to go into his guitar solo, I make everyone around me be quiet so I can hear that first OFFICIAL note. And then I play air guitar with him and sing the solo. Got my kids doing it too. That's a song that I will listen to everytime it comes on.

Every time I sit in front of my piano, I play purple rain as a warm up...

I listen 2 it 5-6 times a month....The lyrics the solo...The song is perfect

I listen to it like three times a year. I like it, but it's not in my everyday rotation.

I like doing this song on karaoke night. MFs get real into it and even start waving lighters!! Almost EVERYONE loves "Purple Rain". It's an anthem!

Is it bad that I haven't played the PR album in over 4 years. I hear enough of the songs on oldies radio.

I love the way you describe how it makes you feel... but a lot of the live versions are amazing too, Coachella just recently for instance is fantastic, I think!! I don't often 'choose' to play it, but when it comes on by accident or as part of a playlist it makes me feel exactly as you describe, and moves me to tears often. If you're bored with Purple Rain you're bored with life!
