From the highly praised album of the same name, this is Purple Rain by Prince with his backing band at the time, The Revolution. Known as one of Prince's signature songs, this nearly nine minute track is one of those tracks where you can't believe that a single musician wrote it. Combining rock, pop, new wave, gospel, and orchestral musical genres into one song, it always moves me every time I listen to it. The second half of the track, right when the guitar solo starts, unleashes one of the most emotional and passionate performances I have ever heard in my life. This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest songs ever written.
