Elephants and Flowers is a nice one: The released version is indeed very melody driven, while the unreleased version is on of his best rock songs. Nice

1 song immediately comes to mind: The Holy River, one of the few interesting tracks on Emancipation.

The One U Wanna C is also a nice one.

Condition of the Heart.. love how the song just catches you off guard.. the intro seduces you in.. and its probably the most aching sad love song I've heard in my life cool

Purple Rain was the first one that came to mind. Then, Raspberry Beret, Venus De Milo, Free, Manic Monday, and Adore. There are many more but these are a few that came to mind quickly.
