Prince - 'Purple Rain' (1984)
Just dropped this on the turntable....need some cleaning music.
*@nyadrn ....I agree. The Stones are one of the greatest bands ever. Will never forget the first time I saw them live. Much to my mother's dismay, my aunt took when I was 12 complete with a backstage tour to meet my cousin (for the first time, his first time in the states) and the band. Just one of the those days you never forget.
