I'm not a fan of the Shania Twain song "You're Still the One" personally, however the version Prince recorded in 1999 really has appeal. Classic Prince treatment turns this into a great rock ballad with a blistering guitar solo I'd have far preferred to see receive a home on that years "Rave" album in place of cringe worthy "Everyday is a winding road".

Another gem lost to history.

how would Iget to hear this lill' monkey?

Yeah, it would have been an improvement over the "Everyday Is A Winding Road" cover. Would have worked especially with tracks like "Beautiful Strange" included as well.

I do remember that around the album's release a lot of people stated "Everyday Is A Winding Road" was their favourite track from the album. I think it's just dated horribly.

I need the named of these people so that I know to never associate with these people or ever mistakenly give credence to any of their opinions or trust their life decisions.

Haha, exactly! As disappointing as much of Rave was, that track in particular was the worst... and although time has been somewhat kind (in my experience) to much of Rave (for example, The Greatest Romance isn't the horrendous pile of shit I once thought it was), Everyday is a Winding Road has just gotten worse over the years. Especially when Larry starts yelling. UGH.

I liked Crow's version okay... but I have no idea what Prince was thinking when he did the track. Just so bouncy--and while I'm not a big Larry hater, if I want to have bad feelings toward him, all I have to do is think of this recording.

A studio version of U're Still the One might be okay, actually. I liked it, but it's one of those where it just sounds so bad...

I love that track and was very surprised when P covered it. The guitar work was excellent in what we have heard.

Too bad it was only a snippet and only in RealAudio format or whatever crap it was back then....

What I would give for the full version in SBD .....

I like Prince's version of Everyday Is A Winding Road and never understood the roasting it seems to get round these parts.

Just a fun disco-inspired cover...

Everyday Is A Pile of Crap seemed like it was recorded just so P and LG could go on about Everyday People without copyright infringements to Sly.

I love Everyday Is A Winding Road.

Always have.

Always will.

^ Ok cool, different opinions then.


Everyday Is A Winding Road, the Sheryl Crow original version is fantastic...

she's a great artist, at least her 2 or 3 mid/ late 90s albums are great.

the Prince cover version on Rave is terrible, Prince & Larry are destroying a good song...


Imo, the Prince version is....

on topic..:

I really like the Shania Twain song too.... "U're Still The One".....

In this case I love the Shania original, AND Prince's cover version...

Yes, it would've been incredible, groundbreaking stuff.

I just dug this up because of this thread, great stuff

and it is longer than I remembered..my crap memory told me it was like 90 seconds

but it's over 3 minutes long

it still fades out on that great guitar solo though ;(

Yep...I am always right there with you when you talk about his guitar work and solo's fading etc Captain. Nothing Compares 2 a ripping Prince guitar solo and far too often his guitar work is too low in the mix, too condensed, overdubbed with random lyric ad libs and generally obscured to the point where only a live version of the track can truly allow the guitar track to shine as it should in a song.
