Rhythm Nation 1814 --- Rolling Stone magazine - The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time and is listed in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
The Velvet Rope is also ranked at number 256 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
Control --- "Rolling Stone's 100 Best Albums of the 80's", Q magazine's "100 Women Who Rock The World", Slant's "Vital Pop: 50 Essential Pop Albums", Vibe magazine's "100 Essential Albums of the Twentieth Century", and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "The Definitive 200: Top 200 Albums of All-Time".
Musicologist Richard J. Ripani, author of The New Blue Music: Changes in Rhythm & Blues, 1950-1999 (2006), Control is regarded as one of the most influential albums in the history of rhythm and blues and the first album to bridge the gap between R&B and rap music.
And that's only a few sources.
Fact of the matter is, during Janet's prime, she was a HUGE critical favorite and had won tons of awards. Janet has been somewhat blacklisted since the Nipplegate incident, so it's not surprising that she didn't make the Vh1 list, which isn't exactly a list that is looked at in high regards. Let's not discredit Ms. Jackson because the proof is in the pudding.
Maybe you're right after all.
