Purple Rain

How often do you listen to it? It is a classic album and I can't say how many times over the years I've listened to it entirely-I don't think it's been that many times. I listen to certain songs all the time especially I Would Die 4 U cloud9 But I hardly ever listen to Purple Rain(title track) and that is probably Prince's best known song besides LRC & 1999. So how many times do you pop PR in the cd player? Turntable, whatever?

I listened to it constantly back in the day.
Then all of a sudden in 2007 I pulled it out and went mad all over again.
So I went online to catch up and find a Prince site, but it had disappeared biggrin

its on my cellph/mp3 player.

I dont play it often, but its comforting to know its there

WDC always picks me up....lets go crazy gets me in a happy mood.

I dont listen to the title track that often, but when i do i am always amazed.

its probably not "cool" to like PR- but it is the one non fans know the best- its Princes "thriller"
seems that i was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before music beret
