Yeah, but do you like it? Everyone I've talked to on here about it hates it. I like how he's turned it into a slow jam.

The self music cover of Gotta stop messing about is the bomb.

Yeah, in an earlier post in this thread I said I was feelin' it. I was shocked as hell too when I heard it and he slowed it up...dude did a pretty good job on it.

scififilmnerd said:

Damn, about 15 or so of these artists I've never heard of...they MUST be over seas artists.

marcus millers girls and boys with a little macy gray

Let's not forget Stephanie MIlls remake of "How come you don't call me anymore"?

Hmm? No one mentioned Genuwine's "When Doves Cry."

Eroticist said:

Yeah, I heard Knight's version and thought it was pretty cool, as far as Prince covers go. But it just seemed to repeat itself after a while. He didn't take the song anywhere after the first so many bars.

Oh ok, I can kinda feel you on that.

Soulchild82 said:

This is definitely the best one I've heard!

On the flip-side...Prince's best remake of someone else's song was "I Can't Make You Love Me"...Prince made that shit smoke and oooze sex.

Eroticist said:

that song is anything and everything but about "sex".

prince butchered that song and was proof (to me) that his perspective was damaged by living in a bubble. somebody should have told that foo the *true* meaning of the song and he wouldnt have embarrased himself on record.

the song is about unrequited love....its about a desperate person asking one more time "love me".....

it is not about thrusting your pelvis and making one appreciate your sexiness.....

sosgemini said:

All I know is...it made me wanna fuck! LOL! So go 'head, Princey! LOL!

Eroticist said:

further proof of my statement....

sosgemini said:

Also odd...NO ONE mentioned Alicia Keys' version of "HCUDCMA?"...interesting.

Ani Difranco: When U Were Mine

Ani Difranco: When Doves Cry

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes: Nothing Compares 2 U
(Has anyone else even heard this one?)

chiba said:

I have that CD. I loves me some Gimme's. They screwed up the lyrics, but what the heck, cool cover.

mellow1 said:

Right on! Add to that Semisonic's "Erotic City" & Alicia Keys "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?"


The worst?

Tom Jones "Kiss"

Rebecca Romijn Stamos "Darling Nikki"
[Edited 4/26/05 20:57pm]

Toby Keith's "Horny Toad"

Chaka Khan's "I Feel For You"
TLC's "If I was your Girlfriend"
TLC's "Get it Up" (time song, but prince song)

So as I said before, after looking at all of these artists, some I've never heard of, is it safe to say that Prince is the most covered artist IN ANY MUSIC GENRE post 1970?
