Prince for rock fans

"Starfish & Coffee" (makes sense actually if you consider the arrangement and style of writing) and Dirty Mind are among the common favorites.

List more of the rock staples.

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I'm going to throw Darling Nikki in the fray. While not a "rock" song, to me this has always had a heavy metal feel to it. I think it could translate that way very easily.

I really don't know wat really qualifies music to be 'rock'...
does "Another Lonely Christmas" count?
I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh

oh yeah I definitely want to read some unreleased ones

"Rebirth Of The Flesh" though technically Camille.

Hell, I'm trying to figure out what associated artists would have outstanding rock tracks, or interesting "indie" song-writery qualities like "Starfish & Coffee"

Jesse Johnson's Bare My Naked Soul album is full of rocking material especially the title song, however, it doesnt have "indie" song writery qualities lol "Too Long" from The Rebels project is a good one as well.
chill..prince doesnt like men being front row, makes it hard to sing the ballads
