The one from the 1999-era where Prince is standing in front of the band on the 1999 stage with smoke billowing out behind them.....I think it was on the insert inside the LP.....

Most anything with Prince licking his guitar and not shredding his tongue to ribbons is iconic!
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

Too many pics to post, but I'll say the 1999 album pic of him and the Revolution, the When Doves Cry Poster of him in white, The Shower poster pic lol , Any pic of him holding any guitar and any pic with SLAVE written on his face-that'll do it.

That airbrushed portrait of P looking down at us, surrounded by fog, and wearing the 1999 trenchcoat - it's in Ultimate, right above the listing of the bandmembers in the Revolution and the NPG.

I had a gi-normous poster of this picture on my wall growing up... I remember praying to it nightly: "Dear Lord Prince, help me to write a song as awesome as 'Another Lonely Christmas'!!!" razz

So do these pics represent THE iconic pictures of Prince? These are the ones that in 50 years we will still be seeing?

VIP laminate from the Jam of The Year tour (1997)


I could not find just the pic, but the pic on this VIP pass is pretty iconic to me! I have been looking for a poster of this forever, but can never find one. (still looking if anyone has it.....)
