Prince Covers

Over the years I have heard MANY Prince covers from major artists. With that said I was thinking a really thought out cover album should be compiled. I realize everyone here may hate the songs I have picked so I was hoping that everyone would have some feedback. So I'm gonna list the few songs I liked well enough to put on this cd.

Foo Fighters - Darling Nikki
Meeks - Little Red Corvette
Dez Dickerson - When U Were Mine

Feel free to add input. prince

If you call Nothing Compares 2 U as a cover then The Family did it better.

I can't find Let's Pretend BUT Gotta Stop is on the Official list. It's awesome. Good one man. Okay folks Hand has the right idea. Find covers that ADD to the song they cover. Chaka and Alicia's songs are good but I want great. Something that adds to Prince's version.

Ahem...better than the original? Do you mind sharing some of what you're smoking?

In all seriousness though, from what I heard I think it's a pretty nice version. The original is on a whole 'nother level though.
