Janet Jackson

[linum]

Gotta pick just one: Rhythm Nation or janet?

Tough, eh? Even I'd have to think about it for (let's wait) a while...

I couldn't pick one.

I would probably choose janet. as my favourite, although if I am honest, I don't love the last third of it.

But the Control to Velvet Rope run is so strong that it really feels like splitting hairs to choose a favourite.

My goodness - The Body That Loves You and Anytime, Anyplace are two of my all time favourites…

I’d take Janet for sentimental reasons but that, Rhythm Nation and Control are all indispensable.

Velvet Rope is great but I actively dislike a couple of tracks so it loses points…

1. The Velvet Rope
2. janet.
3. Rhythm Nation
4. Control
5. All For You
6. Unbreakable
7. Damita Jo
8. 20 Y.O.
9. Discipline
10. Dream Street
11. Janet Jackson

In truth I consider a lot of her albums, particularly her best work, to be pretty evenly-matched across the board, but if I had to rank them all I think this is how I'd do it.

Rhythm Nation will always be my absolute favorite (the record that contains Love Will Never Do, Miss You Much and Escapade would always have to be) but her entire Control - Damita Jo run is flawless.

All For You (single) went from having almost 90 million streams on Spotify to having 66,660,698. Time to raise hell, little Janetors!!!!

All For You (single) went from having almost 90 million streams on Spotify to having 66,660,698. Time to raise hell, little Janetors!!!!

They've divided the streams between the album version and the video mix (~22 million streams), which makes no sense because they had just combined them only a few months ago.

We continue to suffer

 

[Overdose]

The digital sabotage of her catalogue should be studied. It's outrageous at this point.

 

[Vasilios]

Her whole career is one big sabotage for years.

The digital sabotage of her catalogue should be studied. It's outrageous at this point.

I think you need a label to really turn things around on streaming. The way Warner has shaped up Madonna's digital presence has been incredible. Who does Janet have? Randy?

 

[Applause]

I totally get the reasonings behind some of you guys not considering The Velvet Rope as her best album, to each their own, taste is subjective etc., but I can't help but be totally dumbfounded every time it is not only not on top of your lists, but not even close to being at least number two. It reads as utter sacrilege in my universe, it makes no damn sense with my fantasy.

 

[man.tis.shrimp]

The Velvet Rope is my personal fave, but I can completely understand an argument for any of her albums from Control through Damita Jo being someone else's.

 

[Daniel_O]

Rhythm Nation and The Velvet Rope are my top 2. I like janet. a lot, but it’s not an album I return to often.
