Yes! One of my all-time favorites! Not a bad track in the bunch. Purple Rain, The Stranger, and Enter the Wu-Tang are pretty much tied as my favorite album. (Man, this album list is going to be hard. I'm more of a song listener, so I need to hear more albums).
* - personal favorites

09 | Purple Rain*
07 | I Would Die 4 U*

Just stumbled upon this website today. I love anything that has to do with ranking anything!

I actually live less than 2 miles from Paisley Park and grew up in the same town as Prince so this is a great album for a debut post. Still trying to get my arms around the scoring system but for now I'll just rank the tracks.

01 When Doves Cry*
02 Lets Go Crazy
03 Purple Rain
04 The Beautiful Ones
05 Computer Blue
06 Take Me With U
07 Baby I'm A Star
08 Darling Nikki
09 I Would Die 4 U**

* This, in my opinion, might be the single best sonn of the 1980's. Yes, that's a bold statement.

** I never thought about which Purple Rain track was my *least* favorite. And it might change by the day. There's not a bad track on this album!!

Mookie Blaylock. I love it. Although things haven't gone well for him lately.

Welcome to the Forum, MookieBlaylock10! It's nice to see Rank the Tracks as the point of entry of some new users...

Thanks! I'm a big Pearl Jam guy so that's where that comes from.

Yeah I knew they took his name when they first started out because they liked the name so much. They even named their first album Ten after the number he wore. For those that don't know who I'm talking about. Mookie Blaylock is a former NBA basketball in the late 80s and 90s:
