november rain vs purple rain

(obv i couldn't find a prince video on the internet)

not a huge fan of either song (at least in relation to other singles those artists released off the same albums), but c'mon, it has to be "Purple Rain."

dope guitar solos

yeah i was thinking of just doing a poll on the guitar solos

November Rain is horrible.

inconceivable that anyone could prefer guns'n'roses over prince, this is like the gnr vs aaliyah 'one in a million' thread, it's almost an insult to put prince and aaliyah to put them up against those fucking squawking losers

what type of person would pick november rain?

someone probably too methed out to use a computer.

okay now ppl, "November Rain" is a perfectly fine song, it just isn't "Purple Rain" which is a perfect song

i thought this was to compare the videos?

Someone who utterly loathes Prince and has done since the 80s is the kind of person who would vote for November Rain out of sheer perversity. (And also, the original version of November Rain is actually really pretty, though no one believes me.)

I PURPLU FRAIN

that was the only way I could think of to respond to this thread without repeating what other ppl have said

purp

Yeah, have not smoked that November shit.

what type of person would pick november rain? Thats a little negative, its a perfectly decent song in its own right (it now sounds awful from that description)....I'l go with Purple Rain but I'm still not happy with Prince and his crazy copyright spree.
Do you guys want some grapes?...bitches <---I wish this was real.

it's funny how one-sided the response is here; i love both of these equally.

Isn't the real battle between Prince's "Purple Rain" and Marvin Gaye's "Purple Snow"?

OHMYWORD you are so right. Someone do that poll

Why do people keep making polls that put Prince against something that's not Prince? Folly.

"Purple Rain" is the worst song on that album, but I'll still vote for it.

I <3 NOVEMBER RAIN

i mean, i like purple rain, but november rain was my favourite song when i was kid (along with extreme's 'more than words').

I had considered making this poll at one point before, but I foresaw the responce.

They're kind of the same song.

There's tons of Prince videos on imeem.com, including Purple Rain. Don't know why they haven't been deleted, maybe the site pays royalties or something?

november rain. it has a good solo and i do like the strings at the end (and it makes me think of the film which makes me think of appollonia) but purple rain isnt as strong melodically as november rain. verses are too short too. theyre just sort of there to bide the time til the chorus comes in.

It is very unusual for me to pick GnR over Prince, but in this case I'll do. This is one of GnR's best songs V one of Prince's worst, so. "November Rain".

vs. Chocolate Rain

TAKE ME AWAY

"sex shooter" video! thank you tuomas.

Yeah, I've had fun watching all those videos, I had only seen maybe half of them before.

SHUT UP ALREADY DAMN [Mark Steyn]

Someone who utterly loathes Prince and has done since the 80s is the kind of person who would vote for November Rain out of sheer perversity.

lololololol

(fyi Kate, I don't know if you know but that title is the first line of Prince's "Housequake")

November Rain is mostly boring but turns incredible at the end. Purple Rain is all boring.

I am so glad I am not a soulless Borg.

It's quite liberating once you get used to it.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

trick question it's eastern rain

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

i don't get why having hated prince "since the 80s" makes that opinion any more legit

falsetto at the end vs

"DEW YEW NEEED SUM TIYEM"

purple rain is the shortest 9 minute song of all time
november rain is the longest 9 minute song of all time

I was just listening to the 2022 remaster of NovRain and was thinking exactly that.

on the other hand, in the time that you listen to november rain, you can knock out all of today's to-do list and get a good head start toward a new hobby. unfortunately with purple rain, the excellence of the song demands total attention and having a great time, which makes it unproductive in terms of the to-do list

ballads always come and ballads always go

WENDY MELVOIN

Ahah listening to 11Rain22 I was thinking about the thread « Suspicious Mind Vs Hey Jude » and to my surprise I think I prefer 11Rain’s coda to Hey Jude’s !

And about PRain I have to admit I love Prince and this album but have never particularly liked that song. It’s good but nowhere near the other highs… on that album !

11Rain22

lol, luv this

(Also agree w/ your previous post)

Chocolate Rain FTW.

No doubt this joke was already made upthread.

Not a huge fan of either song but I’ll take the worst of Prince vs the best of GnR every day of the week.

november rain pops into my head more often than purple rain. not really the song, just certain scenes from the video. i'll think it's so out of touch from any dream i've ever had, it's kinda baffling, like trying to imagine life 1000 years ago. then think, the symbolism is so over the top it's insulting. then think, the subject of the song, some kind of first love on the rocks, is kinda timeless, and the treatment of it sort of feels real, even though all the symbolism is so thick and overblown. and then i find myself back to liking it again. still pretty hard to sit through all 9 minutes though.

purple rain is a beautiful song of course but i'm reevaluating my relationship with prince atm.

Purple Rain is unimpeachable obviously but, ftr, Estranged >>> November Rain.

Estranged >>> November Rain

well, sure, that’s a given

I just listened to “11Rain22” in the car, and it sounded pretty great. (Honestly I think you could start listening to the album right there, and not miss much… but that’s a different thread)

The rain song
