Purple Rain - Prince And The Revolution
A Terrible Movie, a legendary soundtrack. Princes 1984 album Purple Rain broke records and broke Prince onto the international stage. The Album is a mix of Funk, Pop, Blues and Rock and apparently the title track Purple Rain was Princes attempt at Country Rock. To capture and corner the Pop market, the lyrics are a tad clearer then previous offerings from The Artist though the cheeky lyrics in Darling Nikki got the ball rolling on Parental Advisory Stickers! (we won't be playing it on the show)Rolling Stone ranked this No.2 in the top 100 albums of the 1980s, It's a fantastic Album. Prince is hugely popular on the Live Drive and this Critical Junction is definitely worth tuning in for.

An excelent album (again) Oh the memories, oh the hair, the sequined jackets, sticking shoes on your knees and crawling around pretending to be four foot nothing lol.
I remember seeing When Doves Cry on MT USA of a sunday and wishing I had that motorbike (only to find out later on in life that it was actually quite small)
But it was good music
I really enjoyed revisiting this album, and I'm going to make a point off playing a little more off His Purpleness in the future, I'm even kind of tempted to check out the Movie.....
