Taylor fanboy Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 They had to minimize the number of albums each artist have on the list. RN is my favorite among the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatyPrismSpirit Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Rhythm Nation and The Velvet Rope are her best albums in my opinion but Control is a great album and a classic too so I'm not mad 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gossip_Boy Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Well yes but Control is still fantastic and shits on discographies despite being her (in my opinion) 3rd best album so I'll take it. The perks of having a discography as strong as Janet's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polgg48 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 personally love to include 20 Y.O. instead but i get the pleasure principle impact over these years alone >>> 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Control ranks among her best albums and is full of classics. It might be my favourite of hers after RN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Starr Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Control and RN were always the people's choice. Velvet Rope gets a lot of love nowadays but it's more of a cult classic than the other two. Edited May 22 by Jamie Starr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was Janet's longest running number one hit and it won a grammy for best R&B song of 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyismine Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) RN is her best album and also the best album of all time (that is a conversation for another day tho) but Control is also a classic so I'm not mad. I would love to see Janet. get her flowers too someday, gorgeous album Edited May 22 by theboyismine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown away Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 They didn't actually. They are wrong for not including Rhythm Nation nor Janet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoldierofLove Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Janet's album run from 1996 to 2004 was truly something. Control (1986) Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989) Janet (1993) The Velvet Rope (1997) All for You (2001) Damita Jo (2004) 20 Y.O. is top tier too! Each of those albums deserved to be on the list. Edited May 22 by SoldierofLove 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 it's not my favourite Janet album but what's more concerning is how low it is on their list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livelikemusic Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Is it my favourite? No. Do I understand why it was chosen? Yes. Do I understand why it's her only album listed? Hell no. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgos Groove Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 It's not her best, but it is her most impactful (popularized NJS), so the choice makes sense . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopThatCorn Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Yes, they lied but the fact she ranked so high is incredible. They ranked Janet above Kate Bush and Bjork. She easily outranks all her female peers: Madonna (#77), Whitney (NA), Mariah (NA). They should've chose The Velvet Rope but Control is an undeniable classic. Control also appeared for the first time on Rolling Stone's Top 500 list in 2020 at #111 (Janet has 3 albums on that list). With each passing year her discography gets more and more respect and acclaim! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnanimousBB16 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 They did lie. It's the weakest of her "Big 4", but it's still very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
