Prince’s Purple Rain isn’t just an album, it’s a coronation. From the sermon-on-the-dancefloor explosion of Let’s Go Crazy to the filth and fury of Darling Nikki, to a closing anthem that could level a stadium, this is Prince at his most unfiltered and unstoppable. I dig through the solos, the Linn drums, the screams, the ego, and the genius to see why this record still commands so much reverence today. Spoiler: it’s not subtle, but that’s the point.

If you’ve ever wanted to know how that skinny motherfucker with the high voice from Minnesota could change the world with nine songs, here’s your answer.
