Battle of the Underrated Guitarists: #11 Prince vs Eddie Hazel

[sg327]

Ill check it out, the thing with him is the only songs I know, not on 1999 or purple rain, are the big hits, Gett off, Kiss, rasberry berret etc.

Same here. I ended up buying 3 or 4 of his c.d.'s when I was d.j.'ing and got to like some of his songs just by people requesting them all the time. Other than "Purple Rain", seems like the other c.d.'s of his that I've got only have 1or 2 good songs on the whole c.d.

I voted for Prince, because of his tone and his technique, though I love Eddie Hazel just as much.

QUick question for prince fans, I only own 1999 and purple rain, any other album suggestions to check out his guitar playing?

Sign O' The Times
Batman
Symbol
Gold Experience
Chaos and Disorder
Crystal Ball
The Truth ( this one is cool as it's essentially Prince unplugged)
One Night Alone...Live!

Also have a look at either the Sign O' The Times Concert DVD or Prince Live at the Aladdin DVD. Both excellent performances and both show off his playing. Sign O' The Times shows him on the drum kit for a bit as well while Live at the Aladdin he does great covers of Love Rollercoaster and Whol Lotta Love.
