Prince did some great covers in his time normally taking them in new directions but which ones that he didnt would you think he would have done an great version of?

Personally I didn't want to see Prince play any covers, he had enough songs of his own that he didn't play. I hated the part of the concert where he'd say he had too many hits and then tease the names of a few songs which he wasn't goign to play. Fair enough Prince, but why the fuck did you just spend ten minutes on Play That Funky Music White Boy if you got too many hits.

I didn't mind the live covers as much as the recorded ones, though.

Down To You (Joni Mitchell) on the Parade tour 1986 with live stringed/wind instrumentalists from Clare Fishers orchestra and or David Coleman/Suzi Katayama/Novi NOvog/Eric Leeds

I've always thought a nirvana song would be cool just to see what he would have done with it.

Surely the only answer to this is Closer by Nine Inch Nails. I can just imagine P doing this with a funky slap bass line, and lasciviously sweetly singing the lyrics before unleashing a searing solo. He'd take it from sleazy to sexy, and if anyone was born to sing that infamous chorus then it's him.

The duet with Ms. Janet Jackson. Love Will Do Without Out.

Anything by Bill Joel

Stuff from the Beach Boys. If anyone could harmonize with them, it was Prince.
