"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" RRHOF


"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is one of my favorite solos he's ever done, but I like these other ones, too:

"Fury"-the live SNL version is even better than the studio version

"Let's Go Crazy"-I like how the song builds up to the solo and has anyone noticed he does a blues riff right before the end of the song?

"Never Take The Place of Your Man"-I like this song to begin with and how it ends with a solo

"Peach"-He does some Chuck Berry-style soloing on this one

"Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad"--I like the solo, but it fades out while he's still playing.

"Purple Rain"-I know this is an obvious choice, but it's a classic

His solo on "Get It Up" is monster. That was clearly a case of Prince just showing out.

Joy In Repetition. And for once, the studio version. Maybe it's because I'm listening to it right now, but this sh*ts all over every other solo. In many ways his greatest song.

That's one of my favorites but I didn't want to go through no static from all of these newbies on here now arguing that it's not Prince playing on that. His solo to Get It Up AND 777-9311 are both killin'. But since u brought up the lead to Get It up, have u ever checked out Marc Drac Hicks solo to "Slide" from Slave? Check that out and THEN listen to Get It Up. P bit like a mofo from that Slide solo.

If they are, maybe they don't know enough about P to be posting.
Sit back and learn . . .
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

Is Just My Imagination better than Joy In Repition from the One Nite Alone CD Box Set?, as I've only heard the latter.

Live: loads to choose from.

On record - i think the solo on Eye Hate you is so underated, good to see it getting some love here. I always get those hairs at the back of my neck standing for that one.

All the solos in that London video he posted on 3121.com were totally jawdropping, especially Peach's.
