are there any prince songs that you think are up there with prince's classic best material but are from recent era (90's 2000-2009)
my choice would be :
a milion days
all the midnights of the world(parade album classc like)
last december
lolita
the dance
fury
...there are many others this is the first choice at the moment

If we're talking since 2000, cause there are too many in the 90s:

Call My Name - AMAZING R&B, great love song
Black Sweat - fun and frantic
Fury - wonderful old-school rock & roll
Musicology - Amazing, fun, James Brown style R&B
If Eye Was the Man in Ur Life - fun, jammin' Prince fun
Dear Mr. Man - Great R&B
Reflection - Great R&B, great love-song
Mr. Goodnight - Good tongue-in-cheek, cheezy Prince R&B
The Marrying Kind - Same as 'Man in Ur Life'

MAYBE Guitar, MAYBE A Million Days, MAYBE Chelsea Rodgers, but only if you think Sleep Around is classic (which I do, but my definition of Classic Prince is different than most peoples, as I'm learning).

Lolita a classic?? You jokin right?

musicology
cinnamon girl
The word
satisfied
Planet Earth
Lion of Judah
future baby mama
mr goodnight
All the midnights

lolita sounds like classic prince

For the 90's:
Diamonds and Pearls,
Sexy MF,
7 or
P Control

For the more 'recent' material
Baby Knows
The Marrying Kind
Fury

So many choices, so little time.

2000's

- 1+1+1 is 3
- U Make My Sun Shine
- Y Should Eye Do That, When Eye Can Do This?
- Musicology
- Reflection
- Fury
- The Dance (3121 version)
- SHOE
- Guitar
- F.U.N.K
