"Joy in Repetition" is all kinds of bad as well . .

I bow at his feet for so many of his beautiful guitar solos.. but for some reason when ever I hear "computer blue" (I think damn this is one of the best guitar solos he has ever done) so my question to all of you is ....? Which song makes you go WOW! when "P"( plays his guitar)?

Just My Imagination
Purple Rain

My #1 solo is "Just My Imagination"....it was always Purple Rain until I heard "JMI".

The Question of U, Joy in Reps, Shhh, Empty Room ...
I've always preferred his solos on the slower jams for some reason. I guess it's that extra oomph, especially on a song like 'Shhh' that really makes a sexy Prince jam 'something completely different'.

#1 for me still has to be Computer Blue. Let's Go Crazy was the first song I really air-guitared to, but 'performing' the movie bit from Computer Blue was much more fun

PS- the Empty Room solo from the Conga Room might challenge. A year later and the moment continues to reverberate. Maybe the contact had something to do with it, lol.

I've always been quite partial to this:

"Just My Imagination" - Small Club

The emotion in the solo and vocal performance is heartbreaking.

Just My Imagination fucks me up every time. there is such unabashed joy and freedom in that solo. it's really uplifting.

1) The War-(about 18 minutes in)
2) Joy in Repetition (Love41ANother Vh1-1996)
3) Habibi
4) Computer Blue (Ext Version)
5) Batdance

Let's Go Crazy

Guitar Gently Weeps is mere showboating, something with feeling is Crucial or the aforementioned Just My Imagination at Camden Palace . . .

Let's Go Crazy

Check out the guitar solo on the extended v of Sexy Dancer ...OMG serious New Wave rock

Probably when I was younger-I did the best Let's go Crazy air guitar solo ever.

Everyone is saying Just My Imagination from Small Club

Extended version of Days of Wild
Joy in Repetition from It Ain't Over

Joy in Repeation(live)
Automatic

Amen to that, the spirit was truly in him that night.

Everyone should see the clip "We Gon' Make It Funky". You will see that this truly is his best solo of all time.

2nd for me is "Just My Imagination"
