Prince's Best Band I like to know which band you think was the best?
The early line up the Dirty Mind- 1999 period was full over great creative people. I heard many stories of P not giving them credit for songs they wrote. Dez,Andre Cymone etc.were great. He lost something in my opinion when he let the original players get away. | |

In terms of versatility it would be The NPG-1992
the best though would be The Revolution | |

Show me ANY Prince band who grooved as hard as the 95 NPG and I will kick my own ass. The current one. Nobody beats Blackwell, Renato and Rhonda. That rhythm section will kick your ass, no need to do it yourself.  | |

The Revolution (right before they broke up), but Sheila, Boni, and Cat added that extra "umph" that was missing. | |

I think he should fire all the dancers and hire back Miss Glover Yeah, they were tight too, but I didn't too much care for them during the Lovesexy period. Like Eric Leeds said, that whole era and tour was "too rehearsed" and not spontaneous at as the SOTT era was. I acutually liked Wally and Greg (although I don't really know why?  ) | |

I acutually liked Wally and Greg (although I don't really know why? )Hmmm,,strange  I've alwaysed thought that the LoveSexy period was one of the most spontaneous & rebellious eras in P's career(along with Dirty Mind) maybe I'm not seeing the whole picture tho since Eric Leeds is an insider and obeviously knows too much.
I just get a high blood pressure whenever I see Gregg Wally lol I tell ya, these niggas get on my last nerve in a way it ain't even funny. Why the hell did Prince include them in the band? WHY WHY WHHHYYY? LOL  | |

I agree. That was the best band. Only I liked them better with Lisa than I did with Gayle Chapman.The early line up the Dirty Mind- 1999 period was full over great creative people. I heard many stories of P not giving them credit for songs they wrote. Dez,Andre Cymone etc.were great. He lost something in my opinion when he let the original players get away. | |

The Sign O' The Times era band followed closely by the Revolution circa Parade. However, the jury's still out on the current group so it all can change. |

dirty mind and sign | |

Either Sign/Lovesexy or the current NPG for ability to stretch themselves and try new pieces/experiment.
The fonkiest was probably the '95 NPG but the overall performance left something to be desired with all the loops/backing vocals. Jazz chops would again be Sign/Lovesexy or current NPG. | |

i'll answer the question this way.
his best band was the SOOT band-lovesexy band. (i'll ignore wally,brooks 7 company) my fave band as far as raw & coolness was the dirty mind one. (lisa,fink,dez,and andre) they were da shit! there's nothing wrong with the current group-they just ain't been with him long enough to qualify..to this original prince fan! (individually they're all GREAT. but that's not the question you asked! charles | |
