Kiss is his best blues song - has a I-IV-V chord progression buried underneath the stripped back production. This is brought out by the acoustic demo version. Many of his songs have traditional structures wihch is why they sound so great stripped back to acoustic versions. Cream is another one that follows I-IV-V.

Alphabet St blues version is good.

I love the If I Had A Harem from Livesexy - the solo is jaw dropping.

avajane	Does Empty Room qualify as a blues song? It does have the blues sentiment. Love is God, God is Love

Kiss has a blues structure but those are pop lyrics. There's an argument to be made (as indicated by a poster above) that SOTT is at least as blues-oriented, not musicially but lyrically.

funkyprez	Telemarketer's Blues, which he sometimes performed live. There was one performance, probably at Paisley Park, where he pretends to the caller that it is a wrong number, then he goes into this Minnesota accent. Too funny
