Best Prince riff? I was singing "I wanna B Ur Lover" 2 myself the other day and started wondering if the man ever topped this riff (I think even 1999 was just a redevelopment of it). So that's my vote. What's yours? "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

endorphine machine is a pretty good riff... although i think the song as a whole is a little over produced. ----------

Bambi and endorphinemachine all the way.
He got plenty of great riffs on keys too. But when i think about riff i think about GUITAR! | |

Funny, the first song I thought of was 'I Like It there'. Simple riff, but I still love it. "How embarrasing to be human!"

The end section of "We gets up!". The song is crap, but the guitar and claps at the end should be a song in their own right.
Someday someone will sample them into a big hit! . | |

Fantastic Selection! Thanx 4 participating.
Results so far (as per anji ):
I wannna B Ur Lover - 1 Bambi - 4 (gr8 choice!) Endorphinemachine - 3 (that song is ALL super-riff!) I Like it There = 1 (Interesting choice) When U Were Mine - 1 Gett Off - 1 She's Always in My Hair - 1 (?) Loose - 1 (A bass riff?) Purple Rain - 1 (Just 'coz the movie plays it up?) Billy Jack Bitch - 1 Seventeen Days - 1 Did u notice that the bulk of the votes r for rock riffs. Intersting. No-one gonna give the Let's Work bass riff a shout-out? Keep 'em comin'! (Oh, I didn't include DP1's list in the results, coz I couldn't b f'd) "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

i don't know if it'll qualify, but ... the base line in 777-9311?
if it doesn't, i'll have to go with...his bluesy riffs on "The Ride". Last time I saw him live, he tore that mf up! ********************************************

Last time I saw him live, he tore that mf up! joy in repetition!! how could I forget that one?? maybe b/c the whole song is too tight.. '..she said, "love me"..' okay others beside what's been said.. temptation - the intro(!) joint2joint-the mini-riff in the second half fascination - a sleeper here ********************************************

It's interesting how u can count up the styles on the songs suggested here: funk, rock, blues, soul. COOL! "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"
