I just don't really enjoy it any more, listening to it now, it's nice, but it has too many connotations with VH-1, and idiotic people who stumble upon the fact your a fan and mention this song.

It doesn't do much for me, in fact all the hits are tarnished in a similar way for me: 1999, Little Red Corvette, Kiss, Gett Off, Cream, MBGITW - I NEVER listen to these songs when I'm listening to Prince.

Blurgh!

i haven't listened to the album in about 6 months...i'm just in an anti-pr mood right now.

I used it to test my speakers out last night - I thought there was something wrong with them, and that's one song I've heard so many times I will know exactly what's wrong when I hear it.

Listened to the album yesterday, then to Parade.

Today I listened to sign of the times and around the World in a day.

Been in a Prince mood since listening to NEWS.

I listened to it today. But it was a cover by a punk band.

I listened to it about a month ago. I still love it.

About 6 weeks ago is the last time is heard Purple Rain.

Maybe about a month ago in my car.

I just heard the song recently on the radio.

I listened to the entire CD the other day in my car. I don't think I will ever get tired of Purple Rain.

I did forget just how great The Beautiful Ones is. I listened to that song 4 or 5 times in a row.

'Paint a perfect picture
Bring to life a vision in one's mind
The beautiful ones always smash the picture
Always...everytime'

I'm listening 2 it right now, I'm in a funk, I keep playing it over & over, mouthing the words & feeling sorry 4 myself.

it's one of the greatest songs ever and I just listened to it last sunday

voluntarily? not since 1985
too bad Prince still performs this drag ...oops sorry... track in concerts (he did in the European leg of the ONA tour...)

Last night wondering where in the hell he went to??

"Bring Back The Kid"

Its one of the greatest rock songs ever and it will always be around. I played the entire album last night. No serious rock collection is complete without this album. This is why is is considered to be one fo the greatest albums ever recorded.

Just this morning, but the amazing version on the Kokusai video boot

Two days ago when I bought the Purple Rain/God Vinyl single.

also in an anti-prince mood at he moment

Hmm..just the other day, Guitar Center played the whole CD in the store. It was interesting watching guitarists go from one guitar to another trying to play along and bobbing their heads. Cool Prince moment.

I DON'T EVER NEED TO HEAR THIS SONG AGAIN.IT IS A VERY GOOD SONG,BUT IT HAS BEEN SOOO WORN OUT!!I WISH HE WOULD NEVER PLAY IT AGAIN.I PREFER MORE OBSCURE TRAX.

I still listen to it frequently. But it's the OG 8-3-83 uncut version with the extra verse and unedited solo. I haven't listened to the lp version since I discovered this version.

I played the entire album last wednesday

i havent listened to the album in a long time. Probably bout two years. i cant say that i particularly miss it. If i was to listen to a song from the album Purple rain would not be my choice. i'd rather listen to Baby I'm a star or Lets Go Crazy before Purple Rain.

I AM DYING FOR NEW FUNK.

I'm diggin' on all the live concert/video versions of "Purple Rain" more than the one on the album.

I think I have about 4 different versions now (Live '85, Livesexy '88, Rave In2 The Year 2000, Live from Paisley Park '96).

But that song is simply a classic - and I think the trick is to NOT listen to it so often...but every once in a great while...when the feeling takes you. And once you put it on, turn it up.

i listened to prince's purple rain two weeks ago.i dont have any problem with any particular track but i do have a problem listening to a whole album as i tend to go from one hit to another as they are all amazing.the only cd i listen to fully is One Nite Alone.does anyone else have this difficulty sticking with one disk.i cant help it.been a fan for 14 years and i dont get tired of the classics.

TheJoker said:

Very true. In this category I also put The Cross as songs I don't like to listen to too often so as to ever get tired of them. Unlikely as though that would be

I listened to it twice yesterday.

Out of free will? I guess the last time was over a decade ago. But I still hear it frequently on the radio...
