For You

Prince

1. Prince [8]

2. For You [6]

oh god, this made me laugh out loud. Brilliant

Lol, time to do the millenium stuff.

Here goes

1. Prince B

2. For You C+

3. Minneapolis Genius/94 East/ Symbolic Beginnings/ Whatever its been released as each 5 or 6 years D (Only Just another sucker, one man jam, games and if you feel like dancing are listenable), just another sucker is the best song and I suspect he actually recorded it in Late 1978/early 79 (According to Per Nilsen0, Games and One Mna Jam are much older like late 1975

I think we can all agree that For You is the best album from 1978, and also the worst.

Have you voted in my poll yet?

Prince: better singles, more classic songs

For You: better album tracks

if somehow he had merged the best songs of both albums, hell, then that would have been a killer, flawless debut...(though not groundbreaking...)

...as an album, FOR YOU is far better than PRINCE...there isn't a bad song on it (and there are some clunkers on PRINCE, mainly When We're Dancing Close and Slow)

=0P

As a whole, I also prefer 'For You' to 'Prince'.

The only thing I don't like on 'For You' is 'I'm Yours'.

Don't like that song either, it's a bit of a mess.

Funny thread. For You was impressive for a single man to perform. When it comes to it as a whole, it sounds quite forced on the creative part. He really did try too hard to tell us how much of a talent he was. And his sugar candy cute sweat dripping puberty wank off vulnurable style was a bit too much for me. And I'm a fan of his vulnurable and feminine side, but this. He sounds like vulnurable Bee Gees wank off sometimes on this lp. However, his best songs on the lp is really showing us what he was capable of. Prince was alot more listenable though.

do not forget Dirty Mind! Released in 1980 but due to a lack of a year ZERO. it is the last year of the decade that was the 1970s...

That's absolutely true. There's a tendency to consider the last year of a decade as the first one of the next one.

So that makes DM by far his best album of the 70s.

I guess "1999" should actually have been "2000" then.

Wouldn't the last year of a decade be '-9?

Really? What I mean is that, if 1980 was the last year of the 1970s, then the last year of the millenium was 2000, not 1999. And yes, that is technically correct. So if Prince was envisioning the end of the world when he wrote 1999, shouldn't he have written about the year 2000? Doesn't rhyme with "out of time," though.

Of course you should. They are great albums even if they are probably not great compared to his best works.

Personally, I think For You has some hot shit classics on it like "In Love" (my fav), "I'm Yours", "Soft and Wet", and the title track acapella.

When I was in school decades had TEN years. I'm unsure if this has changed now...

Is that supposed to be a joke?

TEN years = 120 months

1970 January ~ 1970 December = 12 months

1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979

one , two , three, four, five, six , seven, eight, nine, ten

12 months X 10 = 120 months = 10 yrs

Keep up grandpa^_^!!
