Albums of 1984 You Should Own...Part 2




Purple Rain by Prince

The soundtrack to the film of the same name was Prince's 6th album and he was on fire with this one. The film (which I will cover in a later post) was great but the music was stellar!! This album is listed as the #2 album of the 1980's and it earns that title. Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, and the title track Purple Rain, all charted really high with two #1's and a #2 among them. The album charted #1 in the US and has sold over 13 million copies. Not bad for a little guy with more talent in his little finger than most have in their whole body.

But look at the other tracks....Take Me With You, The Beautiful Ones, I Would Die For U, the live track Baby I'm A Star, and my personal favorite, Computer Blue. That song has one of the best solos on record that I can recall. It makes that song soar like you wouldn't believe.

Take a few minutes and enjoy Computer Blue....'cause its awesome!!!!
