Here's a few:

Urgent - Foreigner
Time After Time - Cindy Lauper
Asia - Heat Of The Moment (with a lengthy guitar solo)
Greg Kihn Band- Jeopardy
Little River Band - Lonesome Loser
Donna Summer - This Time I Know It's For Real
Pretenders - Brass in Pocket (I'm Special)
Alan Parsons Project - Time
George Michael - Kissing a Fool
Love and Rockets - So Alive

Oh dammmnnn..."teenage ambition you remember welll"





they ripped his speak over a groove style on this one anyways...

A list like that, excluding the Pretenders, is a reason I hate the '80s.

romeo void-never say never
berlin-sex
the cure-let's go to bed
culture club-miss me blind
hall & oates-one on one
mazarati-100 mph

can't think of any more 80's tracks at the moment...more later...or not...

close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me!close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me!close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me!close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me!close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me!close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me!close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me!close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me! close to me!

He could cover that song 'Kiss' by...never mind.

Ashes To Ashes Bowie, Not sure what the year is may be the 90's Stones Harlem Shuffle, Billy Idol Dancing With Myself or MonyMony, Pretenders Precious, Pink Floyd Dirty Woman/Dirty Girl{Lust}, I Can't Tell You Why Eagles , Duran Duran Girls On Film and The Human League Don't You Want Me Baby? Gary Numan Cars, Kajagoo Too Shy,Shy Dead Or Alive You Spin Me Round.B-52's Rock Lobster, Devo Whip It!! Siouxsie and the Banshees Christine, Gary Glitter Rock N Roll, Joan Jett Bad Reputation. I could go on and on with Ideas.

The original "Harlem Shuffle" is by Bob & Earl from 1966, Nat.

George Michael - "Hand 2 Mouth"
The Pretenders - "If There Was A Man"
Queen - "Cool Cat"
Journey - "Who's Crying Now?"
Wham! - "Blue (Armed With Love"

There'd be many more but that's a pretty cool start in my books! Get ur own!

SMELLY-JELLY!

I 4got one..."Cry" by Godley & Creme.

"U don't know how 2 ease my pain, u don't know
U don't know how 2 play the game
U cheat, u lie...
U don't even know how 2 say goodbye..
U make me wanna cry...>"

I would love to hear Prince do more modern rock and alternative covers. The Santana Medley is only interesting for so long. These are some songs that I could actually see suiting him.

Depeche Mode- Somebody
New Order- The Perfect Kiss
The Cure- Why Can't I Be You?
Eurythmics- It's Alright Baby's Coming Back
The Smiths- Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
Tom Tom Club- Wordy Rappinghood
Talking Heads- Swamp
David Bowie- Because You're Young
The Pixies- Broken Face
Sugarcubes- Deus
Blondie- The Tide is High
Joy Division- Ceremony


Now wouldn't that be a kickin' set!?

Interesting topic!

I would pick Prince to do the following:

Madonna- Like a Prayer- he's done this already!
Janet- What Have You Done for Me Lately- he's done this too!
The Cure- A Night Like This
Eurythmics- Here Comes the Rain Again
Depeche Mode- Somebody (gotta echo my bro on this one)
David Bowie- Fashion- he'd funk it up nicely!
New Order- Age of Consent

Oh how could I forget U2- Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

The Police- Message in a Bottle

My keyboard reeks of hurl!

Whitesnake "Here I Go Again"

Just some suggestions.
