I got really, unhealthily scared for the 4 seconds it took me to scroll to the bottom of this list when I was worried that Prince might not be #1.
@ReginalTSquirge The genius part about this one is everyone's just clicking "read more" to see Prince. Everyone loves Prince. Who doesn't love Prince?
One hit wonder w/ Kryptonite, but no Purple Ribbon All Stars?
You can find me in the 'A'.
In which the 'A' stands for BLARNEY COVEN II: THE RECOVENING THIS SATURDAY AT BLARNEY COVE NEW YORK NEW YORK
Oooh! You are right. A bad omission! That compilation record had that great song from Bubba Sparxx on there, too. "Claremont Lounge." And Sleepy Floyd's "Me and My Baby and my Cadillac"—also great! I am a reddish shade of purple with chagrin. Apologies all around.
NUMB...Go Cats!
See You In My Sweet Purple Dreams
No Electric Prunes?
Nice! Also good! (Somehow "Moby Grape" shouts a louder "purple!" to me. But I've had a lot to dream...)
My favourite kinda racist anthropomorphized claymation fruit singing group will not be ignored. Also, Morris Day & The Time(I know) and James Brown.
@lululemming Yes! Weirdly, Jimi’s drummer Buddy Miles was the lead singer of the California Raisins, so he’s on here twice.
Stranger omission to me is The Purple Gang.
