On this week's episode, Matt and Ryan dive into Purple Rain by Prince and The Revolution. This iconic album firmly established Prince's status as a figurehead for pop music of the 1980s. Regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time by several publications, it features some of Prince's biggest songs, including "When Doves Cry," "Darling Nikki," and the title track, "Purple Rain."
