Purple Rain
From The Darkness singer lol-
"At face value it's about rain that's purple, but what I like is he does th e second verse and then nothing happens for ages. The band just play. It's raw, super brave and super brilliant. It's the mark of an accomplished guy. No one's achieved that much space ina ballad since

BEST FOR gender bending foreplay
#662 If I Was Your Girlfriend

What it does. Not content with her being his girlfriend, Prince wants to be his girlfriend's girlfriend so that he can get closer to her. Thus, he explains to her that if he was a she, she would share more if her intimate moments with him, er, her. All over robotic sleazefunk that smells of sex.
Fact This song was part of an aborted triple album for which Prince had adopted a female persona, Camille, using varispeed tapes. (DHu)

BEST REQUEST AT AN 80'S DISCO
#878 KISS
What it does Sparese, machine-driven funk topped with Prince's gossamer falsetto. Proof that one man, a beatbox and a wah wah guitar can be as funky as a stageful of JB's.
FactFor two weeks in April 1986, Prince-penned songs ruled the U.S. charts-Kiss at Number 1 and The Bangle's Manic Monday at 2. (TD)

BEST FOR walking down crack alley
#120 Sign 'O' The Times
What it doesOver hypnotic, shimmering funk, Prince Rogers Nelson takes the pulse of late 80's America, finds crack, heroin, guns, AIDS, poverty, war and delivers a stern diagnosis: "It's silly no?" Genius from an artists at his peak and a timeless, eerie sound.
FactPrince wrote Sign '0' The Times on a Sunday, when he supposedly does all his best work.(IG)
