Prince song battle: Purple Rain Vs. Crystal Ball

I'd still say PR, because a great song with a hook and chorus still beats artsy stuff. Thems the rules. How about you? horns
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

TRON

Both are epics. But they're totally unrelated. Can't choose.

Apples and oranges man...
This is like saying 'either "The Beautiful Ones" or "In A Large Room With No Light"'
But if I had to choose, it would be "Crystall Ball", pure for the originality, there's nothing original about "Purple Rain" it's just your straightforward, everyday rockballad... It is a killer one though (the original August 3rd 1983 version I mean, not that poorly edited LP crap")...

MAN y'all two got the uglies COVERED, ain't ya?

Crystal Ball. Inventive, risky, outside the box, original, whatever you wanna call it, it is a GREAT song... about War no less, instead of the usual "oh, you're so wonderful and I'm pitiful and wish you were mine and then we'd bang and I love you more each day" whiner fluff.

Crystal Ball without any doubt, although this is a matter of personal taste.

Crystal Ball is just much more adventurous to me than Purple Rain. I always hoped that he would release that kind of stuff when he was finally freed from WB in 1996. Unfortunately he released "Emancipation", his weakest album ever in my opinion. It was such a letdown when I first heard it, I still can't get over it...

Cryastal Ball has alot more depth 2 it. I liked Computer Blu better than it. I thought Purple Rain was the weakest song on the album, the only thing i liked about the song was the guitar solo at the end. Otherwise it is PLAYED OUT.

Crystal Ball by a landslide. It's one of my very favorite songs of all time.
