God is in the House - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (Alone at the piano, Prince would kill this)

Into My Arms - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (ditto)

Where is My Mind? - Pixies

Shades of Scarlett Conquering - Joni Mitchell

Idiot Wind - Bob Dylan (or Tangled Up in Blue from the same album)

Crosstown Traffic - Jimi Hendrix (Seems tailor-made for Prince to cover)

Joan of Arc - Leonard Cohen

Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones (Prince could have done a whole Stones cover album)

The Calvary Cross - Richard and Linda Thompson

Wild is the Wind - Nina Simone

Sound & Vision - David Bowie

Those two would be great, specially the Pixies one. What about Hey from the Pixies

This is love- P.J.Harvey

The lady don´t mind - Talking Heads

Nothing else matters- Metallica

Jeepster - T. Rex

The Chain - Fletwood Mac

Back to black - Amy Winehouse

Do I wanna know- Artic Monkeys

World of two - Cake

Weight of love- The Black Keys (badly!)

Red Eyes and Tears- BRMC

Oh la la la - Goldfrapp

Gold- Chet Faker

I could go on for endless lines, but I´ll respect the 12 songs proposed by the OP.

For some weird reason I always wanted him to do a cover of Sad But True by Metallica

There is a copy of his version of AC/DC's Shook Me Allnight Long. Close enough?

I would've loved to hear Prince's take on this.

I could see this Prince doing this song.

well that would be easy: an album with nothing on it.
In general i dislike covers. 95% of covers is rubbish. Some small % are real gems.
Prince's covers mostly all sound the same (think 'shouting': one of us, Creep, best of you, ...)
Just my imagination is the gem here, and i kinda liked Whole Lotta Love

My apologies, can I replace it with Captain of her Heart by Double?

What about the Macarena better?
