1984 in music, cont'd


"Purple Rain" by Prince.

Click the post title or follow the link below.

Cut #5 is "Darling Nikki," Prince's homage to a masturbating young lady. Sounds sorta quaint today, but Tipper Gore raged over it in 1984.

The title track (#9) is opera-esque.

"When Doves Cry" (#6), with its frenetic sexual beat, is a perfect anthem for the man who oozed sex during the Reagan years. "Just-say-no" Nancy herself probably got a little moist listening to the last minute or so of this one.
