 Or did you want to say the funniest band? I mean, I try never to judge a book by it's cover, but the cover of that album (and especially the back!!!) really was... something   Even too much by 80's standards! It made it very, very hard to listen seriously to the album itself... which I consider mediocre, at best.
Try another shot at the funkiest band...?  [Edited 5/28/07 18:37pm] | |

Mazarati's album was bangin' so yeah, I agree. I first met Andre at a Mazarati concert at The Palace in 86. They were funkier live. Great musicians. Terry's vocals were weak as hell live though. They didn't even do my fave song by them, Strawberry Lover. And that's probably because Terry couldn't fuck with it live. I was trying to get the bass player to give me his hat. He damn near did it too but he didn't want to take it off on stage and have his hair all fucked up. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

The funkiest band to come out of Paisley Park was the NPG. Don't know what you're talking about. Mazarati was cool for their time but that was short lived of course. The best band is the one touring with his royal badness right now. Hollar! Peace and be wild! | |

I agree,Mazarati were the funkiest band to come out of Paisley Park.Their album contains infectious jams like "Stroke","She's Just That Kinda Lady","100 MPH" and "Player's Ball".This is Minneapolis funk at it's finest. | |

[Edited 5/28/07 18:37pm] Mediocre? That got me rollin. Seriously, name a funkier band to come out of Paisley Park? I dare ya! You can't fuck with Players Ball, Stroke, She's Just That Kinda Lady, Strawberry Lover, I Guess It's All Over, Suzy, 100MPH.....those are some straight fuckin funk jams. Thanks for the anecdote blackguitaristz. That's awesome that you saw them live. LoDog said: The funkiest band to come out of Paisley Park was the NPG. Don't know what you're talking about.

As much as I love P, his current band are FAR from funky. And with as many line-up changes the NPG has had, it is not a band. More-so a collective of rapidly changing backing musicians under a name badge. [Edited 5/29/07 10:49am] [Edited 5/29/07 10:50am] | |

Am I that off? Hey I am not one that won't admit I am wrong  Maybe I was too much thinkin' back of that cover only I must admit I haven't listened to the album in ages, mainly because I have it on vinyl only. Gimme a chance to get beck to the drawing board, then...  I'll get back to ya'll with a revised opinion

The funkiest band was The Time by far. Granted, Prince did virtually everything for them in the studio, but catch them live and they TEAR IT UP. The only band that scared Prince.

I'm gonna say The Time with the og lineup. Morris, Jesse, Terry, Jerome & Jellybean w/ Jam & Monte.

Definately Mazarati. All the rest of the groups on Paisley Park had that orchestra shit on their albums somewhere or other. Andy has spoken dammitt. | |

I was jokin, this is a stupid thread because everyone knows what Time is it? 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

I like Mazarati, but I always felt The Family to be funkier. If we're talking strictly Paisley Park groups, then The Time wins it with their Pandemonium album. Does that count? | |

The lyrics to their first release was classic.  " 100 Miles Per Hour Baby That's What I'm All About. Need A Lover Who Can Turn Me On. Somebody That Can Make Me Shout!" | |
