For You is the great overlooked Prince album This is where it all started, but I can't believe how many people overlook this album. It's good from start to finish. Yes, it's lush and 70s-ish, but it has a distinctive quality and the songs are great.
Whenever I put For You in the top 5 prince albums, some people think I'm crazy. Your thoughts? | |

It's a nice record.
I won't deny it. But it's definitely unremarkable and there r just better Prince albums. I mean, U have "1999" and "Sign 'o' the Times." "Parade" and "Dirty Mind," "Lovesexy" as well.  | |

The naff 70s production is forgivable - it's just of its time. What gets on my nerves is that the lyrics sound like a rather immature teenager trying to write like a grown-up.
On "Prince", however, it sounds like an average teenager writing about average teenage things - comes across as more genuine, and it's a much more 'natural' album - "For You" was trying too hard in every way. Not that you can blame him - if I'd had a major label deal when I was 18 I'd go mental! | |

The words aren't too bad, either - interesting how he had a bit of help with that one. Even geniuses need someone to keep them on the right lines now and then. | |

Yes!
I agree, one album that's has been over looked. Prince was great from the get go!
I'm Yours! "Be glad you are free, free to change your mind, free to go most anywhere anytime!" | |

I love it. It has the 70's sound I grew up with (although I grew up in the 80's, I was just behind the times!  )
The songs have an innocence and sweetness to them that makes me feel happy that Prince was so talented at a young age. Wanna hear me sing?  www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

I love For You, especially So Blue, Crazy You and Baby. The album reminds me a lot of the Leroy Hutson albums from the same era. " A mind changed against its will, is of the same opinion still" | |

For You is in my top forvorites list aswell. It's great album, but definately underrated. Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

I agree this album is underrated. I'm Yours is in my top favorite songs, and I love Baby as well- I can't put the whole album in my top 5 though- not with all that came later. Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere"
They've taken a lifetime lease on Paisley Park ...  | |
