Some of the most 'guitar' heavy songs -not all completely rock songs [since most of m r infused with blues, funk or other musical styles anyway]:

Interactive
Endorphinmachine
Same December
The Ride
I Like It There
Peach
Da Bang
Zanalee
The Undertaker


Notably all of these guitar songs r from 1993-1995. For all the bad talk about this period, I think, looking back and playing those tunes, he made some of his best music ever right there. It all sounds raw, inspired and searching.....


Though "Dolphin" is probably more of a pop song than a rock song, I think it contains one of the most beautiful guitar parts Prince ever put 2 record. "Gold" has a nice solo 2.

Another excellent performance on guitar is "The ? Of U".

Going back in further than Bambi, what about the last song off of "For You", which people seem to forget about "I'm Yours" thats a good example of heavy rock.

May favourite at the moment is Enporhinemachine, thats a great opener back in '95 at Wembley.

BAMBI, hands down, full on heavy metal! Love that guitar solo. Some band should cover this. It would be huge!

Calhoun Square, Another Lonely Christmas and Bambi and I'm Yours do cone to mind but my favorite is Rock and Roll Is Alive (and it lives in Minneapolis).
I'm an org elitist... totally unapproachable.
