#8: Purple Rain by Prince and the Revolution (with our special guest, Glen Guyton!)
Happy Halloween!
When the 2003 issue of Rolling Stone originally listed the 500 greatest albums of all time, the iconic soundtrack to the movie Purple Rain came in at number 72. In 2012 the album had fallen slightly to number 76. The new 2020 Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time pushes this Prince album all the way up into the top 10 to the number 8 spot!
Since Mike and Ben didn't grow up listening to this album, we brought back our friend Glen Guyton as our guest, who originally joined us for our review of Public Enemy's It Takes A Nation of Millions. Glen is the Executive Director of Mennonite Church USA, and in addition to his appreciation for church and theology, he loves culture and music and grew up with Prince's music. He's the perfect guest for today's episode!
As a reminder, you can find our favorite songs from the RS500 on our Spotify playlist right here - we'll be updating it as we go with our favorite songs from each album!
You can check out Rolling Stone's new 2020 list right here. We'd love it if you would review us in your favorite podcast app, and while you're at it, give us a like on our Facebook Page or Instagram, follow us on Twitter, and send us a message if you have any comments or questions.
