Which rock artists/bands do you think Prince listens to?

I heard about Prince doing a cover of the brilliant Foo Fighters "Best of You" recently and it got me wondering, what other rock artists/bands do you think he listens to?

Which ones do you think have inspired his music or guitar playing over the years?

he's mentioned before that carlos santana has been his biggest influence as a guitarist, though who knows? he's so mercurial and fickle, he'd probably name someone else five minutes later.

these days, i would rather be able to dig through prince's music collection than dig through The Vault. i know that's crazy, but i think it would be much more insightful and interesting.

ok ill name rock bands that prince listens to or had listen in his life

boston
grand funk railroad
led zeppelin
chicago
david bowie(when the time reformed for a concert on minesota black music awards prince didnt watch concert because he went to see david bowie concert

i cant rember more but the truth is only 3 percent of people in mineapolis are black.
so he was forced to listen to white radio,maybe thats the reason he is so diverse

Well, he's covered a couple of their songs over the years. "Whole Lotta Love" was played many times on the ONA and Musicology tours (and on the Live At The Aladdin DVD too).
