Radio Versions Vs. Full Lenth Versions?

Many of Prince's singles have been edited down from the full length versions on CD/LP or on CD singles.

"1999" on the radio, for example, is criminal; they cut the beginning and ending.
"Batdance" the single misses the single best part; the extended guitar.

But, I think the most lacking edited version of a Prince song is "Thieves in the Temple," because the coolness of the song only really kicks in after the "formal" song is over.

What song do you think lost the most from being cut for a single?

Every time I hear When Doves Cry on the radio it makes me miss the synth solo.:[
