Dutch Vinyl's Album of the Year
Prince and the Revolution - Purple Rain
Purple Rain works as a studio album, a film soundtrack and a display of Prince's range. When Doves Cry removes the bass line from a major pop single, Let's Go Crazy turns rock into a sermon and the title track stretches into a live-style finale. Pop, funk and guitar music meet without sounding like separate exercises.
Why 1984 Matters
The year joined mass appeal with strong identities: Prince crossed rock, pop and funk; Springsteen paired big choruses with uneasy stories; Sade introduced a quieter form of soul; and the Smiths gave British indie a new voice.
