They're 2 very different songs that just so happen to have "rain" in their titles. Both are good in what they are, but u can't compare the two against each other.

both great anthems and both got great solo's. toughie for sure! purple rain is more of a singalong...i honestly cant decide! both as good as each other i guess!
november rain probs means more to me lyrically, but purple rain does too, but NR just that bit more, so id go with that in the end!

Yep - I think I'd agree with the general concensus - love them both, but lyrically November Rain has the edge.

Also the video for November Rain is cool - anyone noticed how the church looks big inside, but when Slash goes outside to play his solo on the edge of the cliff (why??? Cool moment though!) the church looks way too small on the outside?

I prefer November Rain, November RAin has "the" climax, the piano intro is very beautiful. As a rock epic November Rain is better. But Purple Rain is as good as November rain, it's just different, but the very end of November Rain makes me like more it than Purple Rain.

Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

Axl & Co. couldn't touch Purple Rain with a 50 ft. pole. This question sounded like a joke to me at first simply cuz there's no contest here. November Rain is a good song but Purple Rain is sonically better.

Well, comparing the two lyrically and musically: November Rain has the edge.
Don't get me wrong, I love "purple rain", but as someone said, it's more of a sing-along-song (he wrote it to appeal to a wider audience). I don't feel that it's really Prince at his best (musically and lyrically), to me it's not even the best song on the album.

Let's see... November Rain: cringeworthy heavy metal ballad with a video that implies that rain is deadly. Shrieked by Axl Rose. Would be worst song ever if Extreme hadn't recorded More Than Worst.
Purple Rain: great song, lots of soul, sung by Prince.

Hmmm which should I choose?
