I know some people don't like prince doing cover songs, but just play along. Choose one song from the following artist for prince to cover.
U2
Madonna
The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Elton John
Queen

Anxiety said:

"fat bottomed girls"? ohh, definitely.

U2 = One
Madonna = Deeper and Deeper

The Beatles = Cry Baby Cry

The Rolling Stones = (He already secretly did Angie which is my first choice) Bitch


Elton John = Yellow Brick Road (don't know his catalog well)

Queen = '39

That song is GREAT... Oh SNAP. I would LOVE to hear him sing EMOTIONAL RESCUE .....You WIll Be MINE ALL MINE.....I WILL BE YOUR KNIGHT In SHINING ARMOR.....RIDINg THROUGh THE DESERT ON A WILD ARAB Charger.....COMINg TO YOUR EMOTIONAL RESCUE..... About ELTON JOHN'S BENNIE ANd THe JETS or BITCH IS BACK or MAGGIE MAY by STEWERT and HOW COMe if he LOVED GRAND FUNK RAILROAD SO DAMN MUCH HE NEVER DID a COVER VERSION of any of their stuff? Also, PRINCE HOW ABOUT THE OHIO PLAYERS FIRE... I KNOW YA DId ROLLERCOSTER.... How about SOME BILLY JOEL stuff also?

Ya know he did on SYMBOL 3 CHAINS OF GOLD like a BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY COVEr, how about Could he DO SOMEBODY TO LOVE or YOUR MY BEST FRIEND? HOW ABOUT ACTUALLY this is IS THE BEST!!!!! CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE.....OR ELVIS.....HOUND DOG??? Yes, PRINCE ! MY LOVe....WE DO THE MASH ...We DO THE MONSTER MASH.... And I was thinking some other songs say DAVID CASSIDAY.... I THINK I LOVE YOU or How about JOHN LENNON??? LUCY In THE SKY WITh DIAMONDS? HOW about the WHO or DALTREY? How about some ELO or FOREIGNER's COLD AS ICE? So Many songs. What about PRETENDERS? How about FUNKY stuff like GARY NEUMAN's CARS or the CARS STUFF? He could do COVERS FOREVER. How about AL STEWERT???? YEAR OF THE CAT...TIME PASSAGEs... I would have PRINCe RECORDINg FOREVER. Ya know he could make videos with all these songs and release it like the ALADIAN. Spelling Off. That would be cool or release a 3 or 4 cd set with all these cuts. Ya know what would be cool also? If Prince went and did some COMEDY like GOOFY COMMERCIALS.

Queen- i want to break free

I want to break free)
(I want to break free)
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self satisfied I don't need you
I've want to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love

It's strange but it's true
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh how I want to be free, baby
Oh how I want to break free,
Oh how I want to break free

But life still goes on
I can't get used to, living without, living without,
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
God knows, gods know, gods know
I've want to break free

The video is so crazy.. MERCURY WAs THE BEST !

U2 - Desire
Madonna - Music
The Beatles - Taxman
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil
Elton John - Empty Garden
Queen - One Vision

New song...Clapton's YOU LOOK WONDERFUl TONITE..... How about a DYLAN song also? I don't know his STUFF though..I ONLY KNOW YOU GOTTa SERVE SOMEBODY....

prince has made his musical tastes so clear over the past few years, i just couldn't imagine him covering anything anymore that's not a classic r&b song.

Anxiety said:

Nawh, the guy's taste is drifting all the time. He'll get back to his Cocteau Twins records someday.

Novabreaker said:

i'd like to think so, but i can't help but be afraid that his tastes are becoming more conservative and broad as he gets older.

U2--Who´s Gonna Ride ur Wild Horses
Madonna--Cherish/ True Blue
The Beatles--Run For Your Life/ I Dont Wanna Spoil the Party
The Rolling Stones--Sweet Black Angel/Shes So Cold
Elton John--NOTHING
Queen--These Are The Days of Our Lives

John Lennon - Imagine

Elton John - Your Song

Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over

Paul McCartney - Live & Let Die

Ya know yes,we are Not thinking about THE BEATLES. Prince could do BEATLES STUFF. He did the Tribute WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS,but what about like HEY JUDE? If he ever went GLAM he Could do LOVELY RITA METER MAID... Ya know and the COOL stuff that is IAN HUNTER RIGHT and he could even TACKLE SQUEEZE or SOME JOOLS HOLLAND PIANo. I was thinking if he could do THE POLICE.... I'm NOT SURE cause STING'S VOICE is HIGHER OCTAVE.....ROXANNE or DON"T STAND SO CLOSE 2 ME. Not sure about how These ARTISTS Tunes Would FARE with Prince's VOICE. As far as U-2 I would say..... MYSTERIOUS WAYS..... OR an ANTHEM he would go SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY..He could TACKLE THE CLASH MAN..... SANDANISTA... Don't know how his Voice works with these tunes,but GREAT SONGS...

Zelaira said:

DYLAN-- "Leopard-Skin Pillbox Hat"
(and probably some other stuff of Blonde on Blonde)

Elton John , Bennie and the Jets

Anxiety said:

he played Satisfaction quite a bit last year
C'mon Anx, have some hope

I'd like to hear him sing Madonna's Human Nature!

...or mostly anything from Bedtime Stories

thekidsgirl said:

i'd rather he just play his own stuff, really. i don't mind when he covers the stones, though.

He could tear up anything by the Stones and it be right. Brown Sugar, Emotional Rescue, Miss You.

ok I might be alone with this but... I'd love to hear him play

MJ's Keep it in the Closet

I wouldn't want him to record it or anything, just play it live
nevermind

if he did McCartney it would have to be : Maybe I'm Amazed.... wait, wasn't there a rumor that he did record a cover of this?

ufoclub said:

i think he should cover "why don't we do it in the road". (i know, it's beatles and not solo paul...but still)

Ya know 3 great STONES OLDIES he could pull off for sure....I KNOW IT'S ONLY ROCK N ROll....but I LIKE IT...., WILD HORSES.....ANd....YOU CAN"T ALWAYS GET WHATCHA WANT....PERSONALLY if he EVER COULD PULL OFF PAINT IT BLACK with the SITAR or play BITCH with THAT MUSIC or he has ANGIE....He Has GIMME SHELTER... He could DO SO MUCH.... JUMPIN JACK FLASH. How bout BEAST OF BURDEN? Ya know MICK NEVER CURSED but was ABLE to SING some SEXY STUFF. EXCEPT for the INFAMOUS....YOU A STARFUCKEr...STARFUCKER STAR.....Live at the MOCOMBO....EXCELLENT LOVE YOU LIVE... HA.... How about prince's voice on SWAY...It'S JUST THAT DEMON LIFE THAT's GOT ME In IT'S SWAY.....EVEN BETTER 4 PRINCE.....

kpowers said:

Madonna: "Into The Groove" (one of my fav's by her)

Elton John: "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" (it's sappy but Prince can really pull off the big music ballad excellently, ya'll should know!)

Queen: "Bohemian Rhapsody" (come on, all those guitar solos? Need I say more?)
