Prince's Purple Rain album (and movie) came out this year, too. I would have picked Prince's "When Doves Cry" as my first choice from that album, but I believe Tara already mentioned that one. The title track was also very popular.
Instead, I'll just mention a couple of Prince-penned songs from this year that have the distinction of being included on the Parents Music Resource Center's "Filthy Fifteen," a list of songs singled out for having a corrupting influence on youngsters. This moral furor over the supposedly wicked state of pop music eventually led to many of my favorite albums in the early 90s having parental warning stickers smacked on their covers.
