Ross (3282 KP) rated Purple Rain Soundtrack by Prince in Music

Purple Rain Soundtrack by Prince

1984 | Rock

8.5

(8 Ratings)

Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 76th greatest album of all time

Brilliant funk-pop album with some of the biggest pop anthems of all time (the title track and When Doves Cry) as well as the likes of I Would Die 4 U, which may have been the inspiration for the text messaging lexicon and many a ropey website/shop.

Kudos

Like a Prayer by Madonna

Album Rating

Rolling Stone's 239th greatest album of all time

Great pop album, covering quite a range of styles. Like a Prayer and Express Yourself are over all too soon, as is Prince's characterful appearance, with no big singles thereafter. A good overall listen but I expected more from one of the biggest pop albums of all time.
