Anybody who thinks that his version of A Case of You is better than Joni's, needs to get their ears syringed and their sanity questioned.
blah blah blah

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

And by this I mean: songs that Prince has covered, not other artists covering Prince's songs.

I vote: One of Us - Just heard Joan Osborne's version in an episode of Homicide...it's so bland!

Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

yeah, its hard to compare originals. The ones that ive heard and like are:
winding road
just my imag
creep
crimson and clover
The best
the couple that i dont care for are: betcha by golly and make u love me.
Covers are cool. They can put a whole cool new spin on a song or even introduce you to it for the first time. On the other hand they can have u appreciate the original all the more, if ya know what im saying! neutral

The Best of You
A Whole Lotta Love

idk any others confused


whole lotta love? even Prince would laugh if he heard u thought his version is better than that Jimmy Page classic..that was barely a cover..just a homage.

I personally think the guitar work is 10 times better than Page's. I know thats blasphemy to most guitarists, but Im a guitarist as well, and I definitly prefer Prince's licks on this particular cover.

"One Of Us" DEFINITELY!
And I really like his re-make of "Betcha By Golly Wow". Just somethin vocally about that track that gives me goosebumps.
