I stand firmly behind my placement of Purple Rain ahead of Hard days, only because I prefer the Beatles later work more than their mop-top era. Also, Purple Rain start to finish is one of the best albums ever made....even with Darling Nikki.
I hope my lists start generating comments and discussion. I'm having fun with it.
It's hard to say: HDN is, to my recollection, the first soundtrack I'm aware of where the artists wrote, performed and acted - I think Elvis' songs were written by others; it certainly has great historical significance.
I guess my disappoint with PR is that it didn't have those great The Time songs.
But it feels,if not like apples and oranges, then Macs and Delicious, a matter of taste.
