Two sadly departed legends in there 80's peak.

Both big hits with big guitar solos.

Must admit Purple Rain is a bit of a dirge. Going on for over 6 minutes.

But has it's moments.

Purple Rain is the best live performance song I've ever seen.  Well that and The Fly.

Prince's greatest hit is better than MJ's top single from Beat It, although PR isn't as great as people generally say IMO.

Was going to have 'When Doves Cry' here

But that had no guitar solo so probably more suited to being up against Billie Jean.

WDC does have a guitar solo, it's just low in the mix.

Purple Rain torches a ton of songs from the 80’s.
