Chuck Eddy: The Rain is better than Kiss. The Prince hater critic once wrote that the Rain by Oran Juice Jones is far better than Kiss. He didn't put Parade in his top 150. He could be right. The Rain is an amazing song. Kiss is great, but is it that great? You know my stand on Parade. I'll tell U what the Eye in the Pimp stand 4! | |

Why should anyone care about some opinions from some nobodies on a song? | |

"The Rain" by Oran 'Juice' Jones is my favorite R&B song of 1986...."now close your mouth cause you're cold busted" a very clever,unique track during that time.
"Kiss" is a great song too.Stripped-down falsetto funk like only Prince could do.It's one of his classic 80s singles. | |

The Rain sound very dated. It screams '80s in the most cheesy way. | |

Actually I don't know your stance on Parade. | |

I have no clue or care for your stance on Parade. Comparing the 2 songs is pointless. Kiss is a masterpiece. The Rain is more comedy relief than anything. Raz P Berry did a great spoof on SNL 30+ years later.

What the hell? Why even compare the 2 tracks? They don't sound similar at all
I like both songs.This may offend some people here but I prefer the remake of "The Rain" that appears on the "Suicide Squad" soundtrack [Edited 3/26/22 19:06pm] | |

. - Kiss is such a great song that I heard several covers in different genres, and they all sound cool. From Tony De Sare to Giorgia. The melody is strong, unlike some other Prince songs. And the original record doesnt sound dated too. | |
