NPG played out? How about a new name for the band? I was thinking about this yesterday: how corny I always thought "New Power Generation" was as a band name and how he's had it for...well...for a generation by now. "Old Power Generation" is more like it at this point. I liked "The Revolution" for a name.
What would be a good new name for the band? Maybe something lifted from a more recent song, like "The Word" or something. Prince and the Word. I dunno. Any ideas? | |

What about Prince and The Planet Earth? 
Prince and The MPLSound? Or The (new) MPLSound. I like the sound of Prince and the Revolution too, who knows, maybe it'll catch on..... | |

I like "Prince & the MPLSound" but it might lead to Miami Sound Machine jokes. | |

New Power Generation was always a bad name. Sad, because The Revolution is a fantastic name for a band.
He could have done much better with Lotusflower Love 4 1 Another Emancipation even New Power Soul is a better band name My Legacy

He could have done much better with Lotusflower Love 4 1 Another Emancipation even New Power Soul is a better band name considering the constant line-up rotations, and the fact that he's now using completely different line-ups based on the kind of show he's doing or who's available, I don't really see why he needs a named band at all. it's not like he's putting it on the cover of his albums any more. The "Lovesexy Band" was never really named as such, and it was just fine. the only purpose the NPG name even serves any more is for branding and something to shout-out during his more hip-hop oriented tracks, a la "Darkchild" or whatever. and to refer to himself in the 3rd person without using his own name.

NPG is more than a band name, it's a concept |

Hopefully after LF the jellyfish have matured so it could be
Prince and the Medusas. Or how about dropping the power game and just calling it: Prince and The New Generation. "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |

No matter what the name, it will always be a new power generation. That should be the purpose. |

I have never liked New Power Generation as a band name. It was a great song title, but not a band name.
And which generation is that, exactly? One of 50+ year olds? |
