The title track for me because it's simply one of my favorite songs period. "The Beautiful Ones" comes in second and "Let's Go Crazy" takes third place though.

One of THE greatest pop/rock albums ever recorded. I love every single track on this album from the first notes of Let's Go Crazy to the fading out of the title track, Purple Rain.

I will have to play this album tonight if I have time and give it a once over (maybe twice over) before I can say for sure. I have an idea of which song might take it, but wanna remind myself of why.

I wish I could vote for Computer Blue + Darling Nikki as a single song/medley sort of thing. The two songs really fit well together and I've always looked at them as a single song (even though they are two separate tracks). If I could, that would get my vote.

Decided on Purple Rain. Great great ballady tune. Love everything about it.
