Elephants and Flowers is a nice one: The released version is indeed very melody driven, while the unreleased version is on of his best rock songs. Nice

1 song immediately comes to mind: The Holy River, one of the few interesting tracks on Emancipation.

The One U Wanna C is also a nice one.

Purple Rain was the first one that came to mind. Then, Raspberry Beret, Venus De Milo, Free, Manic Monday, and Adore. There are many more but these are a few that came to mind quickly.

"I've always been a huge, huge, Prince fan. Studied the guy's music...Even to this day, no one in music to me has captured that sensibility where your mind goes to a different place. It was complex, it was three-dimensional the way he wrote." -Jamie Foxx
