As far as musicianship, ability to play multiple styles, etc., there are only two choices:
1. Sign o' the Times/Lovesexy band 2. One Nite Alone/Musicology version of NPG | |

One Nite Alone/Musicology version of NPG Cosign Cosign again.those guys could(can)make music from fresh air.I would imagine u would just need 2 shout a key signature 2 Renato then everything would just fall in2 musical heaven after that.Princes backing backing bands get better with every change of member..... u know u want 2...so do it

You know, they've mostly all been great.
My personal fav. is probably the post-Andre, pre-Wendy proto-Revolution, and also the '95 NPG. But I liked the '92 NPG too with Levi, and the SOTT/LS band of course. Not so hot for the Emancipation-NPS era line-up(s). | |

The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

I used to say the Gold Experience NPG....but I reliazed how regulated they were and reliazed that there wasn't much room for input from the band. I have to say now the One Night...Alone...live crew | |

I like the 1999 band too.
And all the Revolution bands!  I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me. Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots. Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol. Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol. Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch | |

It's very hard to pick. I want to go with SOTT/Lovesexy, then I think of the "America" live performance with the Revolution which kicked ass! But if I had to pick one, I would say SOTT/Lovesexy. [Edited 7/14/06 17:16pm] | |

I was so disapointed when Emancipation came out, and he still called the band NPG, but it was a total diff. line up, (-not that it was bad, but to me the real NPG was those 4 guys, with the master on vox and guitar !) when will we ever see/hear that again ? it was magic !!
