1. Brian Eno
2. Bootsy Collins
3. Herbie Hancock (on acoustic piano)
4. Cassandra Wilson
5. Kate Bush (yes, I know they already have in a way, but properly.)

And for fun a list of 5 who he should have worked with!

1. James Brown (in the late '80s)
2. Miles Davis (see Kate Bush)
3. Elvis (Had he lived, I just know he would have dug Prince. I mean Elvis even wore eye-shadow in the fifties! If only Prince had produced Elvis!)
4. John Lee Hooker (Deep funk. 'Nuff said.)
5. Frank Zappa (This man should have produced and arranged one Prince album! It would wipe the floor with 'Lovesexy' and 'Parade'!)

I hate to say this but.....

I don't want to see him collaborate with anyone anymore. I have found that looking forward to him working with someone has always led to disappointment.

For example:

We Can Funk
Every Day is a Winding Road
My Computer
Undisputed

Need I say more?

I think someone summed it up long ago by saying that when you work with Prince, you get a Prince-sounding project; not necessarily a vision of your own that Prince helps you perfect.

Play together live? Cool! Carlos and Stevie and Sheila -- OH MY!
But let's just leave it at that.

I think most of the song you mentioned are not real collaborations. "Every Day is a winding road" was not co-written buy Prince. He just sung on it in concert, if I remember correctly.

These songs are only as good as the people that he proformed them with.

I would like to see him with these people.

1.Raphael Sadiq.
2.Beck.
3.Quincy Jones.
4.Cold Play.
5.Jos Stone.
6.Donna Summer.
7.Taylor Dane.

Okay, I know it's 7 I have up there but, I just could not stop. Isn't it ironic that I stopped at the number 7?

1. Dez Dickerson (that'd be a great reunion)
2. Living Colour
3. D'Angelo with the Roots as the backing band
4. Macy Gray
5. Res

Can somebody say collecter's item??!!?!?!


Shut-up already, damn!!!

P and Rich...Naw, too many make-up fights! LOL!

1. Alicia Keys
2. Amel Larueix
3. Lauren Hill
4. Josh Stone
5. Outkast

Hell, if L Boogs ever returns to the land of sanity that would be good enough for me.

Nobody said Jimmy Page?

When you think about it, L Booggie failed at something that Prince had success in doing.

Prince, in a weird sorta way, created this other persona, (the Symbol) and he had great sucess in handling all of the vibes that came with it.

L Boogs, tried to run away from the "Rap/hip queen" that she created and then created something that was totally out of character for her. Now, she is running away from that.

Success in large doses can kill you if you do not fit the height requirement.

My top 5
- Bjork: for some new, orginial direction
- Van Morrison: playing his stratocaster in Van's band for a night
- Daft Punk: for some 'nouveau dance'
- Buddy Guy: for recording some 'killer guitar-blues record' in a week
- Urban Dance Squad: to get his balls back

My 5...

PJ Harvey
Avril Lavigne
Wyclef Jean
Trent Reznor
Courtney Love

Beck (incl. Dust Brothers)
Daft Punk
Bootsy Collins
The Neptunes
MeShell

I'd love for him to stay away from the "safe" collaborations. So, with that in mind:

White Stripes
Beck
Bjork
Bowie
Foo Fighters

Steve Vai--Let Prince do beats, bass & vocals. As weird as U like.

Sly Stone--anything! Please Sly!

George Clinton--for an entire album. Get Prince high--The Funk Bible

The White Stripes--Teach him to be simple & raw again

Beck--Show Beck how to be passionate & original. Teach Prince it's better to be uncool with cool music than cool with uncool music.

Janet
Sade
Meshell
George Michael
Erykah Badu

Wendy & Lisa (because their chemistry is still unmatched...)
David Bowie (just because it would be interesting...)
Trent Reznor (he could teach him a thing or two about production instead of Prince's usual overproduction...)
Aphex Twin (for some decent professional and original remixes instead of all that corporate, dime a dozen, R&B/Hip-Hop crap remixes you hear nowadays...)
Meshell Ndegeocello (because she's amazing...)

Neversin.

Damn, that last comment you made was pretty deep!

But yeah, she lost her damn mind and never recovered. I an't believe she turned down Drew Barrymore's offer to play the angel that Lucy Lu played. Unbelievable.

Oh baby,how about.....

2) The Scorpions
3) The Gap Band
