Mood-Setter Song: 'Purple Rain'

A Valentine's Day playlist can't be all made up of just sappy love songs. Put a little party into the mix with Prince's seminal 1984 album, 'Purple Rain.' The soundtrack to his rock musical of the same name is considered to be one of the 'Raspberry Beret' singer's best works to date. It kicks off with the adrenaline-heavy 'Let's Go Crazy,' which will have you jumping on the bed, but the Purple One eventually takes the mood back under the covers with his high-pitched orgasmic screeches on 'When Doves Cry,' 'I Would Die 4 U' and the epic eight-minute title track, which closes the album.
