Well, there's no challenge over the Number One spot, right? Purple Rain is the summer anthology of all summer albums, the aiguille of the amethyst pyramid, the artificial blockbuster all hot-weather pretenders accept approved to bout anytime since. The summer of '84 was already a hit-packed pop-radio bacchanal of celebrated proportions, but Prince topped anybody with the aberrant electro-blues of "When Doves Cry." Then he just kept rolling from "Let's Go Crazy" to "I Would Die 4 U." And the majestic guitar avowal of the appellation aria absolve your body in the amnion of Lake Minnetonka.
