Best Guitar Songs?

I need help convincing a guitarist, who believes that Prince is just some 80s pop star, that Prince is in fact a GUITAR GOD.

Which songs best show of his guitar work? I want to show variety as well.

I was thinking

Purple House medley (Rave 2000)
When U Were Mine (One Nite live)
The Ride (undertaker)
Joy In Repetition (it ain't over)
The Truth
Don't Play Me
something from the acoustic Xenophobia set
Whole Lotta Love (alladin)
Get Some Solo

any other suggestions?

Cheers

the only one i have is where,at the start of the track,for about 5 second,u can hear a muffled recording of a crowd of people.

is this the one you're talking about?

if so,yeah its pretty mad.

i've seen you go on and on about this song...I have a studio version, and honestly I think the guitar playing for a guitarists point of view is mediocre Hendrix. Plus he completely nicks the riff from "That's the Way (I like it)" by KC and the Sunshine Band. It's an alright song otherwise...I think it would have been filler on an album.

Muffy

Beautiful Strange,Joy In Repetition and I'm digging his Whole Lotta Love on the DVD. How about Take Me With You live from Syracuse? Please Purple Rain. Really there are just too many too list.
