Thats a tough one. I have to favor the 91-96 NPG slightly. The Revolution though was great too. Hands down his best two bands. None of the others can compete

i was listening to DMSR live w/ the Revolution the other day, and was knocked out by the keyboards.

That's what I really miss; the prominence of whatever Dr. Fink (or Lisa? or both?) was doing.

Instrument for instrument, i prefer the npg, whatever 'npg' means (1990 - today?), but the energy of the revolution was just once in a lifetime fun.

and those keyboards, oh wow, those keyboards drive me wild.

- For ME, NPG will be always the 90-95 band (specially Bland, Sonny, Barbarella). It was an unique period in PrinceĀ“s career (tight hard funk). Prince should have changed the name of the following bands, IMO.

NPG but I'm biased. I was born during that prince era.

Yeah I love some sax play but you can't touch the synth/keyboards of Matt Fink, I love his solo on Head in all it's manifestations,

I've always enjoyed The Revolution, The Revolution always complimented Prince, they were y always be the funkiest 2 me! The NPG style is an extended evolution 2 Prince y their style now is superior but The Revolution is the epitome! Dr. Fink y Lisa Coleman had the skills on the synths, Brown Mark funked it up with the bass, Wendy had it but in comparison. . . Can't happen! I still feel after all that has happened between them, they can reunite y give the diehard fans some un4gettable shows! That's magic!

I think he always got great bands/musicians and The Revolution always reminds us at that great Prince period.

But I don't think they could play DMSR like Rhonda & Co on the Musicology tour!!!!

He has a great band band 4 each period in his life & music.

I've heard so many different renditions. the noituloveR did very good sounds

The sound was just different for each tour 1999-Parade, I also like the way the SOTT/Madhouse group performed it ie Fine Line Cafe and Prince adding his America guitar solo

I vote for Prince and The Revolution. What about you?

The creations both groups made contribute to a beautiful painting of sort but, it's very difficult to choose. I am a fan of the NPG Era music first because that's when I became a fan of P's art.

I had to come back and add to what I said earlier ... [img:$uid]http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/9.gif[/img:$uid]

Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

with Tightness i mean, sounding tight playing as a band together.

The NPG playing on The Gold Experience is one of the tightest band i have ever heard in popular music.
