on this day back in 1981, it wuz released. man...october's like the busiest month for anniversaries of albums. there's two more to celebrate in the upcoming weeks (prince and 1999, respectively)...but for right now, give it up for controversy!

"Private Joy"

never get enough of that song!

DavidEye said:

That's my vavourite too !!

My older sister bought this album and I remember skipping school just so I could stay home and listen to it all day...lol...I must have played "Private Joy" about a hundred times that day

The song and the album turned me into a Prince fan for life!

I didn't know what funk was til I heard this and ever since I cant get it out of my blood.

First Prince album to make it into Australian top 20

I'm no mathematician, but wouldn't that make it the 22nd birthday?

ME TOO. (7 more sleeps and I will look back on this post in 8 days and thank God 4 Prince)

People call me rude/I wish we all were nude...

The joint! Happy Birthday Controversy.

These threads are a grim reminder of just how old I am. But, on the bright side...I've been a fan for a quarter of a century.

wow i pulled the tape [yes i said tape!] of this out this morning to put in my car, damn there's some great bass playing on there.

One of Prince's finest, in my opinion, and the album that has grown on me the most in the past 5 years. It now is borderline top 5 Prince albums for me.

I really think it's perfect. From the opening "wa wab" to the closing bombast of "Jack U Off," I'm hooked.

What an underrated little gem.

This is one of the 10 albums I haven't been able to leave for the past 3 years. I have to take it with me on planes, in the car, etc.

i luv controversy
specially the title track
1 of my fav prince albums of all time.

notice on it, it sayz full color poster
but we all know which 1 that is...

Never liked this album apart from the two tracks that ended up on the hits.

one of my least favourite P albums, I just like Controversy the song ( I it in fact) and Private Joy

What?!? Who doesn't like Let's Work? It's gotta be one of the funkiest joints of all time (especially the 12" version). Work it! Aarghhh!!!

ahhh...the good ol' days!!!

why can't an artist move me like he has...and why can't he do it again?!?!
