We did this awhile back when Musicology first came out. Now that we have had 20 years to listen to this landmark album..it time for the PURPLE RAIN RANK THE SONGS SURVEY. As painfull as it may be, rank the songs in order 1-9 . Points will be award in reverse order (9 pts for a # 1, 8 points for a # 2 etc...). This is going to be hard ..yes some song has to be # 9 ..although the worst song on Purple Rain could probably be the best song on any other album. Have fun with it. Results posted when interest in thread dies .
