I was 8-years old when Purple Rain was released. I remember ‘Lets Go Crazy’, ‘When Doves Cry’ and ‘Purple Rain’ were immediate radio hits and I liked all three songs, even at 8 or 9 years old. Over the years since, and after seeing the movie a bunch of times, most of the songs have become my favorite at one point or another. After 30+ years, I can definitively state that 'Baby I'm a Star' is my favorite track...well except for ‘Purple Rain’ sometimes. Nope…I picked ‘Baby I’m a Star’ and I’m going to stick with it.
‘The Beautiful Ones’, ‘Computer Blue’, and ‘Baby I’m a Star’ are the most underrated tracks. [First added to this chart: 04/02/2017]

'Coming In From the Cold' and 'Pimper's Paradise' are highly underrated songs...probably because they aren't on Legend.
