For You vs Controversy

Do you think the For you album is better than the controversy album? I love both but can't stop listening to For you.definitely one of his best albums.

For You

i didnt learn to appreciate Controversy until years after its release...i fell in love with For You at first listen....every last song...and it still gives me goosebumps

i only liked Sexuality and Private Joy and Annie Christian on the Controversy album, until i learned to appreciate the album as a whole, years later...for the longest time i didnt even like the song "Controversy"

I don't see the point in the comparison, I like 'em both.

There's no comparison, a modern funk classic versus a barely adequate disco tribute album. . Classic songs like Do Me Baby and Controversy versus Soft and Wet and In Love, it is like comparing Sign o the Times with Graffiti Bridge. . Controversy A- For You D
Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Not to mention Do Me Baby is the reason I became a fan all those years ago. Big thanks to whoever let that tour vid leak drool and the best version of that song I've ever heard.

I chose 2 compare the 2 albums because his first was the beginning and controversy was him establishing himself. It's all fun!
