This is THE BEST soundtrack of all time.
If you haven't seen Purple Rain yet, you obviously haven't been watching VH1 on a regular basis - it is regularly featured as a Movie That Rocks and played at all hours of the night.
But trust me, the best thing about the movie is the music.
The Twin Cities' own Prince (ne Prince Rogers Nelson) rocked 1984 (the year Yours Truly was born) with the soundtrack to Purple Rain, which include some of his greatest hits to date. These hits are still popular on the radio, and bring about some kill reactions when played live. Hits from the soundtrack include:
- Let's Go Crazy
- When Doves Cry
- I Would Die 4 U
- Purple Rain
Named by Entertainment Weekly's 1000th issue in 2008 as the #1 Best Album of the Last 25 years, the Purple Rain soundtrack has also received a lot of other great recognition including Best Soundtrack of All Time (Vanity Fair) and Greatest Album of the 1980s (Tempo).
Plus, Prince is incredibly sexy.
Go get this album, or one of Prince's greatest hits albums, and experience how cool music was the year I was born.
