Hard Day--George Michael Always reminded me of Prince even more than I Want Your Sex.

There is also a Prince vibe to Nevermind.(Nirvana)

That is such a Prince word.

Especially the expression:

Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late


Not sure .... ?
Shut up already, damn.

I think early Lenny Kravitz stuff sounds a bit Prince.

The song It Aint Over Till It's Over does
Shut up already, damn.

There was a U2 song, I think it may have been called Lemon, that Bono himself said was inspired by Prince. I can't remember what it sounded like. All I remember was it was in falsetto.

Lemon?

- Agreed
That album was a tribute to Prince, but with Beck´s style and personality...

"Notorious" by Duran Duran.

On their 1993 tour, they even snuck "Sexy MF" into the middle of it!

Untitled (How Does It Feel?) by D'Angelo. Classic Prince in the tradition of Do Me, Baby or International Lover.

I can't believe I left out Fortunate. That was the first song at my wedding! I always forget that R.Kelly wrote that. That was the only song my wife and I could agree on.

Everybody Elses Girl - Tori Amos
Toy Soldiers - Martika
Hey Mr. Jones - Jane Child
I hear your Voice - Patti Labelle (Oops! He did right that)
There's a song by Rosie Gaines that I argue Prince wrote but he didn't.

Yeah, R. pulled that one out his ass and Maxwell was the PERFECT singer for that cut.

- Again sounds a lot like Rave´s ´Wherever u go...´
It seems that there was a message "Lenny, u didnt even change the key" or something like that at the NPGMC site...

Yea, and Darren Hayes "you make me feel so beautiful"
