I'm making a CD for a guitarist that only knows the mainstream pop prince. I'm trying to hook him up on the killer rock/funky side of Prince - with songs that he's DEFINITELY not heard.

I'm thinking of stuff like:

She's Always In My Hair
Witness 4 the Prosecution
Erotic City (the high guitar is tooo funky)
Controversy
America
Endorphinemachine

maybe some SOTT stuff, I dunno.

And DEFINITELY some live stuff.

Any suggestions?

Peach - ONA live
Xenophobia
Poorgoo
The Undertaker
Bambi
The Cross
Alexa de Paris
Computer Blue
Extralovable
Dolphin
Gold
Papa
Da Bang
Strays of the World
Habibi
Rave
Endorphinmachine

Hey those are great Tron - thanks.

- have you played Armagettron? I'm a junkie for that game.

ROCK guitar -- pick something from Chaos and Disorder!

the ride;poor goo;honky tonk woman;bambi;zannalee;the undertaker;

The Question Of U, perhaps?

That is a killer compilation there! I might burn that for myself!

I just pulled that out of my ass. Who knows what I could come up with if I really tried.

that isnt really rock guitar,just pure rock.

if it was rock GUITAR...i'd add Joy (ONALive),Just My Imaginmation (SmallClub),TheRide ,Undertaker (tho they would go on a blues cd really..),& a few others.

im going 2 make a str8 raw blues compilation soon.

I made one for a friend from his 90's stuff onwards.He seemed to like it anyway, he's back into P now after a 10 year gap.

1- The ride (from the undertaker CD)
2- Beautiful Strange
3- Calhoun Square
4- One of Us
5- Da Bang
6- Dolphin
7- Empty Room (NPGMC Soundcheck version)
8- Bambi (from the undertaker CD) crossfaded expertly into..
9- EndorphinMachine
10- Zannalee
11- When Will We B Paid
12- Damned if Eye Do
13- Chaos and Disorder
14- The Holy River
15- Gold.

1. 17 Days (especially the intro)
2. She's Always in my Head
3. Batdance (the middle part of the song)
4. I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
5. Private Joy
6. Lady Cab Driver
7. Little Red Corvette
8. Computer Blue
9. Anotherloverholenyohead
10. Joy in Repetition

Whenever I want to "impress" someone
with P's guitar I reach for RAVE from
the Small Club (1988) show (as someone
else here mentioned).
I always get some:

1.) The Undertaker Video or CD

2.) Small Club bootleg

3.) Nighttown Bootleg Disc 1

4.) It Ain't Over

I only heard small club recently and my first reaction was...wait till i play this to all the non believers. Its the most perfect performance, and guitar wise Prince and Mico just excel themselves on to another level.
