Then explain what's so good about Janet Hackson's "music"

>>131310256
her music sucks, are you a 50 year old black woman?

Janet [Virgin, 1993]
At least the money that went into this obscenely expensive record comes back as physical luxury: the difference between hearing it on a cheap box and a booming system is the difference between daydreaming about sex and having somebody's crack in your face. Which is only one way it's more pornographic than obscene. And which doesn't make it Jam & Lewis's. This achievement is Janet's, period--those who disagree should send me the name of that hot number in the S.O.S. Band they couldn't wait to boff. Better nose than Michael, better navel than Madonna, better sex than either. A-

lol your taste is SHIT

>>131310356
I mean I enjoy it. Is it that absurd to give good scores to Janet Jackson? I don't think she was particularly worse than her brother. She's one of the biggest and greatest R&B/Dance-Pop artists ever, and had a strong run of albums in the 80s and 90s. There is music outside of Rock you know?

>>131310044
RYM is for trannies. OP you are now a tranny. Get better taste, tranny.

Janet was as big as Michael at her peak and she stayed on top longer while he was basically a one album wonder.

>>131310356
>insufferably contrarian tinged questions
I feel like my tastes could easily be described as tending towards obscure and niche (...Morton Subotnick music starts playing...) but even I can say that her 80s albums were fun, catchy, and make for great dance music. Who the fuck doesn't like Rhythm Nation?

>>131310576
the 80s JJ albums are cute, not a fan of the 90s ones

>>131310466
Michael might be a little cheesy but every song is unique. Janet just puts out albums with like 12 subtle variations of the same track.

Didn't Morrissey rant that R&B and dance pop were the worst things ever?

>>131310044
Bad mogs all these records

>>131310619
He said that not just R&B and dance music, but Black music as a whole is escapist and lacks real substance, and he was absolutely right.

>>131310721
Morrissey lists Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Frankie Valli, and the Righteous Brothers as his favorite artists.
Preferring musicians who were heavily influenced by black music while disliking Black music itself seems hypocritical, if not outright racist.

Post top 10

Easily better than Nirvana or any grunge slop, hence why she always beat them in the charts at the time.

>>131310721
idk man, blacks if anything lack imagination and a sense of fantasy and lean a little too much into the bluff and realistic

>>131310613
One of them wrote songs, the other did not.

>>131310044
Rhythm Nation is good af, I'd argue it's closer that some tracks are closer to more serious industrial like Einsturzende (at least their lighter moments) than to other 80's pop

as see here. during the era of psychedelia, black pop was super dry and grounded and they basically excommunicated Jimi Hendrix for doing that.

>>131311363
P-Funk basically took Hendrix and made his style marketable to blacks by emphasizing grooves rather than guitar jamming.

>>131310962
He comes off as a borninlewronggeneration guy as he was a toddler when most of those guys were at their peak and was obviously a child of the 70s.

>>131310044
>tons of real masterpieces have lower scores
I don't like Janet her voice annoys me and I don't like the production on her albums at all, and I've heard a couple and can't recall any standout song, no hate to her fans but she does nothing for me. so say something you do like

>>131311550
Plenty of people enjoy listening to Ed Sheeran. Just let it go bruh, and listen to music you actually like.
