My choices would be:
My favorite song in the world, Unforgettable-Nat King Cole (Falsetto mostly, maybe change the arrangement a bit)
All Along the WatchTower - Jimi\Dylan (A full version.)
I also would really like to hear a cover of Foxey Lady by Jimi.

What about ch'all?

I would personally like to hear Prince cover Jonathan Butler's, "Lies."

The Best of You by The Foo Fighters. Very strong Lyrics and Music.

A few Bob Dylan numbers too, Blowin' in the Wind, on Piano or guitar.

As a one-off freebie, he should release a CD maxi-single of his Super Bowl performance from last year, covers included. Make a deal with major city papers, or even something like the NFL Digest & include it as an insert in the issue released closest to game day.

People will forget who Tom Petty is when they hear that & Prince will finally be throwing a bone to Americans worth eating. And making news a year after the fact.

Don't know if he's ever covered this live,
(not having been to EVERY gig he's ever done!) but would love to
hear him do his thing with The Staples Singers' "Come go with Me".

Might be more than I could cope with tho.....

I think he could do a great version of Massive Attacks Teardrop.

2 great 2 do covers.

Prince's guitar would also fit well to one of my fav,Marley-song 'Lively up yourself' (btw could it be he played that song already at one concert/aftershow ? )

Also would love to hear him play another Beatles/Lennon song like Imagine

and finally Pink Floyds Money

With Come Together, Whole Lotta Love, I wanna take you higher, Push & Pull - to name a few - he's done already great coverversions for me

rosie sang a few lines from lively up urself during the d & p tour

but since u mentioned pink floyd..i would love 2 hear him either do comftably numb

another floyd-song pops into my mind: Have a Cigar !!

I wonder if Prince and David Gilmour ever met.....2 different types, 2 fantastic guitarists !

ok, time to move on to the morning due before it's gone
