76 GUITAR

Prince

Various musos have rocked with a disco swing in their step, but none quite like Prince, the pintsized, Minnesotaborn enigma who made guitar heroism fun and sexy. And if you thought his heyday was confined to the 80s, this banger from 2007 provided serious evidence to the contrary. Building rhythm and riffage around the brilliant line ‘I love you baby, but not like I love my guitar’, Guitar is a sass-filled highlight of Prince’s sort-of-twilight years. PG
