I think I kinda liked the mixtapes the one time I listened to them. I'll give them another chance sometime next year

[Nemo]

The mixtapes aren't, like, anything spectacular. But they're criminally underrated by fans.

janet. > TVR > RN > Control > Unbreakable > AFY > DJ > 20 > Dream Street > JJ > Discipline

Some of these switch around for me at times, Direplan is always last though.

The mixtapes have some great tracks. JJ is disco and R&B and DS is more early 80s synthpop.

janet. = RN1814 > TVR > Unbreakable > Control > AFY.

I've never heard Damita Jo, 20 YO, Discipline and the mixtapes in full.

[Bitchcraft]

Her best album is TVR, so!
TVR > janet. > Control > RN1814 > AFY > Unbreakable > DJ > 20Y0 > DS > JJ > Disappointment
I'd say my personal trinity is AFY, TVR and janet., though.

I don't really know how to rank Unbreakable yet. It still sounds so good and I still can't believe we got an album

And for the record, just so everyone knows, When I Think of You is cute and not basic.

I see my little comment i made like last week has you SHOOK. It's not that great and its her worst number one. WHYDFML is the best song on Control.

!! Alright is one of her best MV's ever. Choreography, locations, outfits

janet. has to many fillers. Because of Love, The Body That Loves You, Sweet Dreams & Any Time, Any Place
But there is Throb to make things better! Seriously, after 20 years it's still sound fresh and seductive!

I agree with the filler comment, but ATAP is like top ten of all her songs for me To each his own.

Never listened to the mixtapes, should I? Like, will I register them above 20YO?

Just listen to the standouts. Come give your love to me, say you do, dream street, young love

I think he means the saccharine crap Again (which is lovely but still crap in comparison, especially 20-some years later.)

[eli's_rhythm]

You'll Never Find a Love Like Mine and Don't Mess Up This Good Thing are amazing too. Janet Jackson is so much more charming than Disaster.

That one time she performed some of these live on the RWU tour

1. The Velvet Rope
2. Rhythm Nation 1814
3. janet.
4. Unbreakable
5. Damita Jo
6. Janet Jackson (so underrated)
7. Control
8. All For You
9. 20 Y.O.
10. Dream Street
11. Discipline

BTW Because of Love, ATAP, and The Body That Loves You aren't filler. :P

[eli's_rhythm]

The Body That Loves You is 100% filler. Although it might be because there are so many useless interludes on the second half of the album that cloud my judgment of the songs they blemish. janet. might be her most annoyingly arranged album (that or AFY with the 3-4 sleepy sex songs in a row).

1. The Velvet Rope (tbh I've been questioning this more lately since I barely listen to it)
2. RN1814
3. Control
4. janet.
5. Unbreakable
6. Damita Jo
7. All for You
8. Janet Jackson
9. 20 Y.O.
10. Dream Street
11. Discipline

4, 5, 6 are subject to change. Some days I think Damita Jo is the best of the three and janet. is the worst.

I didn't know TVR was so beloved, it hasn't really done much for me like ever.

apart from the singles the only song that can even compare is All My Love To You

As it happens, I completely agree with SC now...

When I was first getting into Janet I thought it was pretty filler-heavy and only used a few songs but... One day it just clicked.

Also, the mixtapes aren't unlistenable, just unbelievably basic.

It was the first album by her I listened to like 3 years ago, but eh... It's certainly not bad but it's the most filler-heavy of the big four for me.

tho Empty, Velvet Rope, My Need & Rope Burn >

OK but what about Go Deep?

The only songs I don't use on it now are Every Time and Together Again.
