Just As Long As We're Together,I'm Yours,So Blue,and Crazy You(although it should have been longer)are THE SHIT!!!

For You is an excellent album! And I'm also tired of fans trashing it. It's classic - containing some of Prince's best ever songs. And for those of you who disagree, I'm not on crack - I love For You! I'd like to hear Just As Long And We're Together and I'm Yours on his next tour.

Well, I DID blush.





























The other tracks just kinda... bore me. They are all so smooth and, like Prince's recent output, seems more like a result of work than actual passion. redface

There, I said it. boxed

But, you know, even Prince himself stated back in one of his rare eighties-interviews that he was trying to create the perfect album with the result that it got overproduced. (Or something to that effect. I'm too tired to look it up now. It's way past my bedtime.)

yeah, i remember 'im sayin that--he tried to make it too perfect. but you still gotta admit, it's a pretty good debut album nonetheless.

Likewise. Even though Prince contains "hit singles", For You, in terms of songwriting, atmosphere and texture is the better album. nod

I have a thing for I'm Yours. I just really dig that song. I would love for him to dust it off and give it new life in concert, the way he did with She's Always in My Hair and so many other songs.

The rest of the album is pretty good too, especially now that you can look back at it and see elements in it that he reused in The Glamorous Life and Eye Hate U.

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
