Off the top of my head and after reading suggestions:

Giglio's Get Lonely, Too
777-9311
A Love Bizarre
A Million Miles (I think he's in the background but he should have just kept it all to himself)
101 (shocked nobody listed this one. Very much like 17 Days but dumbed down. Still great)

he cant scream that passionately though


The man who screamed his way through The Beautiful Ones can't scream passionately?

You're outta your damn mind.

can't believe I forgot Desire.

what, what an awesome could-have-been album that was. it's still great, but it would have been one of his classics if he'd kept all that stuff.

I think that Sugar Walls could have easily been re-worked for Prince to have kept it. He could have just changed it around to the 2nd person rather than the 1st person. Instead of "take a ride inside MY sugar walls" he could have sung " I want to take a ride inside YOUR sugar walls."

I've always thought it'd be kind of interesting to hear Sugar Walls done by a band with a male lead -- words completely intact and with no gay shtick -- just to mess with people's heads. lol

the xtended version of 101 is killer!
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Hold Me
100 MPH
Nothing Compares 2 U (the hits version does not do this song justice, i can't believe that it is the best version he has got)
Screams Of Passion
Journey 2 The Centre Of Your Heart (not heard p do this yet)

i've noticed there's nothing from the Carmen Electra album in this thread!! biggrin
She Believed in Fairytales and Princes, He Believed the voices coming from his stereo

Yeah, some Prince songs are ok when other artists record them, then some are just awful. After hearing Prince's version of Get Blue I shake and scratch my head at why Louie Louie was ever given that song. I would LOVE to have an official, mastered version of this song. It is sooooo beautiful. The piano, his vocals, the backups. I love it. I think it is one of the best ballads he's had. Shame few people ever heard him sing it.

On another note, I was really disappointed in Howard Hewitt's version of "Allegiance." Howard is a great singer, so I had high expectations, but in reality it sucked. Maybe I just knew Prince's version too well.

Allegiance would be my 7th entry on the list of songs P should have kept. lol

"The Dance Electric"--If this song had been released by Prince in the summer of '85,it would have been a Number One smash.

"The Screams Of Passion"---don't get me wrong,I really like The Family's version,but can you imagine this song being a Prince/Sheila E. duet? It would have been superior to "A Love Bizarre",imo.

"Open Book"---I've never heard the Jevette Steele version but I really like the bootleg version with Prince's vocals.It's amazing! One of his best songs.

"G-Spot"---the Jill Jones version is good,but I really,really like the 1983 version by Prince and the Revolution.At one point,it was supposed to be in 'Purple Rain'.This is one that he should have kept for himself.

"Ice Cream Castles"---To me,this song didn't really "fit" The Time.It's their oddest single,imo.Might have worked better as a Prince B-side single.

I was gonna say "Sex Shooter" but that song would sound absolutely filthy if sung by a man.


A few years earlier,Rick James released a single called "Love Gun" which covers a similiar theme as "Sex Shooter",but I agree,it would be kinda odd for a male to be singing lyrics like that.

I need you to pull my trigger,baby....I can't do it alone lol

Oh, and Prince should have never given away the song 'best of you' to the Foo Fighters...



Prince never wrote that song, he covered it...
Give what U can, all U can stand, and all of your life will be made!
