Drew, Drunky, and myself are going to start doing a rundown of our favorite albums of each year since we've been born. So check back regularly and let us know what you think.
1984: Prince & The Revolution- Purple Rain
Hopefully I'm not sued for using his likeness, but this is without a doubt the best non-score soundtrack ever. The first album of The Artist to feature The Revolution as a backing band, the genres and influences are all over the board, which is a large part of why this album was so accessible to all sorts of people. Winning three Grammies and an Oscar shows how much success it had to go along with the thirteen million albums sold. But it's by no means your average pop record. It's filled with great lyrics, exhibited most in the song I Would Die 4 You, written from Jesus' perspective in a conversation with a non-believer. "I'm not a human, I am a dove, I'm your conscious, I am love, All I really need to know is that you believe."
Key tracks: Computer Blue, When Doves Cry, Purple Rain
