Controversy is def. in my top 5 of favorite Prince albums. I know what people say about Controversy, that it's just an extension of dirty mind. Sure.... The song Controversy itself was waaaaay ahead of it's time. Nothing on dirty mind can touch that song in my opinion. Let's not forget about the raw power of Sexuality, Do me baby, one of his best ballads, and the crazy Annie Christian. Did I say top 5? Sorry. I meant top 3, After Sign of the times and 1999 | |

almost forgot to give my props to this album...a friend of mine got a copy of this on tape for my 18th birthday (i still have that tape too, but it's at my dad's house). damn near wore it out...my fave cuts on here are the title track, "let's work" (especially the 12"...yummmm ![]() i only do it for a worthy cause...virginity or menopause... ![]() | |

Oh yeah, Let's work is also on there right? sorry, his best album after Sign of the times. Who voted Controversy off the album survivor thread??? ![]() | |

I love the album, awkwardly released in between Dirty Mind and 1999, an album where Prince was testing his new found sound, perfecting it.
While Do Me Baby amd Controversy seem to be his faves from that album, I always have a soft spot for two other songs; Sexuality and Private Joy, of which I would love to hear Private Joy performed live... But I have learned not to pour my own wishes into the Princely Universe.... yer bound to get disappointed. | |

Now, you OLD folks, tell me how it felt when it came out? (I barely remember the time PR came) How was your reaction to it? How was peoples reaction in general? Share! ********************************************

I fucking love this album!!
Since this comes on the heels of the "Dirty Mind" appreciation thread (let's bump that one for the hell of it ![]() Sexuality: Partyup Part II. One of his best "message" songs ever. They're all a buncha double drags Who teach the kids that love is bad Half of the staff of their brain is on vacation! Mama, are you listening? ![]() We need a new breed Leaders, stand up! Organize! Like my signature says from time to time, I still wanna be in the New Breed. ![]() [Edited 10/14/04 8:17am] The Normal Whores Club | |

Controversy
Sexuality Do Me, Baby Private Joy Let's Work Jack U Off Great music and songs in the step ladder of his career. From For You – Lovesexy, he was going up and up, there was no stopping him. I'm so cold... Just hold me | |
