the title track is the only thing I don't like much on "Purple Rain"
O_O
Anyway, great album. I never latched onto Parade as strongly as this one, myself.

way better than Lovesexy imo. i might prefer it to Parade too but i know that's a minority opinion.

Anyway, "Paisley Park" and "Raspberry Beret" are fantastic songs because they sound like something The Beatles might have done in 1967.

I just heard "Pop Life" somewhere the other week, it made me happy like it usually does. I think most of the detractory commentary above is fair, but for somebody's decade low-point to include "Pop Life," "Raspberry Beret," "Tamborine" and "Condition of the Heart" says more about the decade he had than the actual merits of the album. Even the title track is pretty cool.

'raspberry beret' makes my shortlist of the best pop records of all time, easy.

"Temptation" is amazing, imo, always gives me chills

i'm hard-pressed to think of any song called 'temptation' that isn't awesome!

I've voiced the identical sentiment about songs w/tambourines in the title!
