For You anybody? Any fans of the For You album here?
I know most of you seem to rate it pretty low whenever there's an album poll on the org... However, I love this album and never seem to get tired of hearing it (unlikely some of his more popular stuff!) So, anybody prepared to admit it's one of their favourites too?

I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!.. A lot of my friends ask me, if you HAD to pick out just ONE album (Prince's albums) which one would u choose? I've always said you can't choose something like that, since all of Prince's songs/albums are great.. but anyway.. if I had to pick one out.. I'd probably go for FOR YOU, its such a nice album, and WOW it was his first?!?! Well it does seem like a lot of people dont think much of it.. a shame really, coz its pretty good! | |

[This message was edited Mon Jun 23 5:26:01 PDT 2003 by DarrenMawbey] Admit it? Hell naw, I absloutly eknowledge it as one of my 5 top LPs from the brutha. I made 2 threads about it but nobody really agreed with what I said. Here's the reason why I love this mutha: -At the age o' 20 and he simply played completly every-lil'-thang in that record. That alone should give him the credit. -I read an interview from 1981 where says that he was sleepy and tired all the time during the recording of the LP. Thats why it sounds like a mellow record. -Plus its a simple record, Prince wasn't trying to be hip or proving anything. My only beef with it is its SHORT!

When I first got this album, I played So Blue and Soft and Wet over and over and over again.
I like the playfulness and boldness of "Soft." It was really risque for its time. And I like the melancholy and delivery of So Blue. | |

For You as an album where the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. Track by track it isn't really a strong album but as whole plays really well. I think it's a better album than the subsequent Prince album even though that set contains I Feel For You, Bambi, I wanna be your lover, Sexy Dancer, WYWTMSB. For You just flows.. | |

It's OK i guess, i tend to think of 'Prince' as his first album though.I can't explain why though, perhaps it's cause there's no Princebonics in the title or maybe i just don't listen to it enough.
