Which associated in your opinion added to P music, and which was an embarassement?

To me:

Best: Renato Neto, Sheila E, Doctor Fink

Worst: Tony M, Damon Dickson, Kirk Johnson, Mayte

(I would include also Shelby J in the "worst list", but guess she got some knack. I'd just like to see her committed in a solo career, cuz her presence on stage alongside Prince is really overwhelming and disturbing).

Best: Brown Mark, Wendy & Lisa, Dez, JB, The Dr., The Hayes, Sonny T, Michael Bland, Tommy Barbarella....Enough?

OMG...how did I forget Eric Leeds

[Edited 7/14/11 2:03am]

Best: Brown Mark, Wendy Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, Michael Bland, Miko Weaver, Eric Leeds, Maceo Parker (does this count?), Dr. Fink

Worst: Mayte, Shelby J, Renato Neto

Dude, Mayte was fucking awesome. Wearing her tight clothes you could see her tight little pussy lips and then she stage dived too. What else could a guy ask for? I never understood why people went crazy when Tommy flipped his hair when we got Mayte bending over and shit.

well said my man.....well said!

I never understood why people went crazy when Tommy flipped his hair when we got Mayte bending over and shit. Anyway, worst band members IMO: Tony M, Damon D, Kirky J, Shelby, Bobby Z. Compared to these five members every other band member is a fucking living legend. [Edited 7/14/11 3:14am]

I'd like to know how Bobby Z could fall into the worst? But you also say Mayte was best because you could see her pussy lips ...

Bobby Z is one of the best because of his mindset, his devotion, his look and attitude, like Prince said as a drummer he followed Prince's every move, was trying to show off. And when electronic drum kits started becoming the demand in the 1980s Bobby Z transfered well, he was in charge of linn programming for the live shows and did a lovely job. Anyone who's heard his live playing knows that Bobby was tight. And he looked like Prince's jewish twin as well. They had the look down. And as one of the 'longest' standing drummer of Prince's defining years it automatically puts him in the best

Best:

Lisa Coleman, Brown Mark, Atlanta Bliss, Wendy Melvoin, Jill Jones, Cat, Bobby Z, Sheila E. Eric Leeds, Matt Fink

Jesus Christ, it obviously was a joke. To be honest I never considered her to be a band member. She didn't really sing and didn't play any intruments. No, the tambourine doesn't count.

She played Prince's skin flute.

Dude we are in cyberspace, nothing about that read told me you were joking, especially since a lot of people 'seriously' think/talk like that on the org

Best this....worse that........

Anyway, I don't give a flying haddock who the best is, but I would say that Eric Leeds is probably one of the coolest bandmembers that Ponce has had.

I notice a great deal of "Revolution Love" going on. The Revolution was a good band but all the bands after them were far better and complimented Prince live and in-studio. The Revolution kinda stayed within Prince's limited parameters (of that time period) whereas the bands afterward had the ability to really stretch out and take his compositions much further. Also alot of these latter musicians were far more flexible in their abilities which further complimented Prince's music.

Best: Prince

Worst: Prince

Since he played all of the instruments...

I can't believe no one mentioned Atlanta Bliss.
