Purple Rain Survivor Round 2, Then there were 7

The results for round one


1. Lets Go Crazy (1 vote)
2. Take me with u (13 votes)
3. The Beautiful Ones (no votes)
4. Computer Blue (7 votes)
5. Darling Nikki (3 votes)
6. When Doves Cry (1 vote)
7. I would die 4 U (5 votes)
8. Baby I'm a star (13 votes)
9. Purple Rain (2 votes)

So we will eliminate both Take me with u and Baby I'm a star, as this round will be spent voting off the one that survived. That leaves Computer Blue as the next most vulnerable track, and The Beautiful ones is the only track to be totally left alone. It must be the screams.

So we have left

1. Lets Go Crazy
3. The Beautiful Ones
4. Computer Blue
5. Darling Nikki
6. When Doves Cry
7. I would die 4 U
9. Purple Rain

Choose the one you like the least (With songs this good its separating the A track from the A+ ones). I choose Darling Nikki again, its just not got the power of the others. Please no haters (Someone is doing Rave if you want a mediocre album)
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

When doves cry
U can cut off all my fins - But 2 your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let U tell me how 2 swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin

Let`s go crazy. It is good, but slightly overrated. And overplayed. I am pleased to see that Take me with U is already out.
I believe that sex is a beautiful thing between two people. Between five, it's fantastic.

Absolutely no hating but how anyone can vote When Doves Cry or Purple Rain - I'll never know - clueless !!! I take the point re PR being heard so often, but it still doesn't stop it being a great, epic song ! As for When Doves Cry-simply sublime - I can only think that anyone voting for this is trying to be "alternative".

As a song, whilst it appears to hold some mystical status here at the org, (largely due to the "hallways" version), Computer Blue isn't in the same league as any other song on the album (though, I still love it!!) in terms of song content, structure, lyrics etc - it's a bit of bump n thump with a lovely guitar solo cameo.

So - Computer Blue gotta log out !

It's all a matter of opinion. Maybe people are just tired of hearing them. shrug

Same here. It's absolutely brilliant, deep, intelligent, creative, border-crossing.

Computer Blue (although the beginning of that song was the only part on my cassette that muffled for being rewound and played so much back in the day)
