Oop! Should've guessed

Also sometimes when I really need it I'll listen to the entirety of TVR and love it but I've come to realize her 80s albums >>> her 90s albums

Objectively this is true, but when TVR hits, it hits the hardest.

Lol so Janet is above or equal to Kylie on your mental totem pole now? It's comical because since getting more into KM94 and IP she has definitely moved up in my mind.

Well if we include the first two albums, does her 80s output on the average >>>>> the 90s?

Unbreakable (album not era) did that I guess


Just A Little While is really cute, isn't it? just growing on me.

Certainly arguable, but Janet Jackson is kinda better than the two 00s mixtapes so it at least evens out.

Yes. It's a fabulous nostalgic pop bop. Should never have been the lead but sankofa I guess.

Janet Jackson is the only artist with albums I've heard multiple people refer to as mixtapes

There's a great quotation from Slant that reads:

"There’s perhaps no better testament to the power of Control as a quintessential statement on personal and artistic self-actualization than the still pervasive misconception that it’s Janet Jackson’s debut album. Her two previous albums, Janet Jackson and Dream Street, have since been relegated to Janet’s “prehistory.” Control simply feels so much like Janet’s moment of entrance that pop culture’s selective amnesia can be easily forgiven."

I'm having an Unbreakable evening and I've just had such a moment with Lessons Learned / Black Eagle / Well Traveled. She is SO good.

New prompt that like two people max will pick up

Joni Mitchell released two CDs simultaneously in the 1990s entitled Hits and Misses. The Hits CD of course featured all the songs, all the ones you know. The Misses CD featured singles that didn't quite do the business, as well as album cuts she felt ought to have another chance to be heard by a wide audience.

Create a track list for Janet Jackson: The Misses.

After Britneys flop . What janet did especially as an independent artist with unbreakable is even more impressive

[jdmc218]

For me, "Son of a Gun" will always have a hollow place in my heart because I feel that was the match to the negative aura that came of her way, since it ruined that nice streak that Janet had for herself...

It was such an ill-advised single. On an album with options like You Ain't Right, Come On Get Up, Trust A Try, who sat down and said, "You know what would totally smash? The song whose hook is the least interesting part of a 30 year-old hit."

OK, then she already did that, the entire Discipline album.
