I'd like to see him turn George Clinton's "Flashlight" into an acoustic guitar folk song. Yeah, I said it! 
OK, for real, though, how about um, covering an Isley Brothers song like "Fight the Power,'' or "Take Me To The Next Phase.'' He could tear them songs up! A Prince-ified version of Stevie's "Contusion'' would be interesting, too. Toss in a Bob Marley "Redemption Song'' and I'm good for life. lol | |

Talk about virtuosic covers, nothing tops Prince & the NPG's 2002 DC aftershow cover of The Farmer In The Dell. 
12 minutes of pure, unadulterated funk.
Grab that boot if you can find it!  | |

Long Time by Boston, I have always thought that Princes High note guitar playing sounds just like Bostons guitarist. I think he was influenced by Boston. There sound was the shit in the 70's (i know Kansas was right there with them) | |

you just want that massive guitar solo 
a spirit of the radio instrumental would be so amazing "Not to sound cosmic, but I've made plans for the next 3,000 years," he says. "Before, it was only three days at a time." | |

Pretty much anything by David Bowie. Hell, just do an album together. 
Also, "Starlight" by muse. I still play pokemon. I play warcraft. And I'm awesome. | |

Even tho he did synths on Stevie Nick's Stand Back, He could take that song to a higher place. Also Gold Dust Woman wood b Amazing!! [Edited 3/21/10 20:32pm] Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews. | |

After what he did to Radiohead, I'm a little scared of any covers that drift out of the funk/soul/... genre. | |

I'm so convinced he could record a killer version of this perfect song. |

Toss in a Bob Marley "Redemption Song'' and I'm good for life. lol There's a live version of Redemption Song, with Prince on piano and Rosie Gaines on vocals, from the Nude Tour (I think)*. It's worth trying to seek out, as his chord changes in it (and Rosie's ad-libs) are wonderful. (Unfortunately, it's on my old PC, so I can't access it at the moment.) * Hmm... Says here it was performed in 1999, which may be what I've been hearing - although it does sound a lot like the performance of Aretha Franklin's Ain't No Way from 1990, so maybe it's a different one.

Based on my analysis, I believe the government faked the plane crash and demolished the WTC North Tower with explosives. The South Tower, in a simultaneous but unrelated plot was brought down by actual terrorists. Is it a deal? | |

Next you'll try to convince me, that he also wrote melisa morgan's "do me baby" or sinead's "nothing compares to you" The Compromise Theory:

This is off topic, but does anybody else remember seeing an interview with Boy George where he was asked which Prince song he would cover?
His reply was great. He thought about it for a second and then said: "I'd like to cover that duet he did with Madonna... With a blanket... and then sink it to the bottom of the ocean" Or words to that effect. I don't usually find the guy funny, but that cracked me up. blah blah blah |

For me it would have to be "For The Love Of You". Originally done beautifully by the Isley Brothers. I'd just love to hear it with his voice all over it. I know it would be amazing!! | |
