Did Janet get called out on the similarity of the opening verse of Let's Wait Awhile to America's Daisy Jane? It's mighty similar.

ugh I just discovered that the chair dance is NOT a part of the actual standalone "Miss You Much" video and I am OUTRAGED

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 14 July 2020 19:20 (five years ago)

This counts as a music video, right?

there is only one correct answer to that question and it is "Yes, JAL."

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 14 July 2020 19:27 (five years ago)

Voted!

(xps)

Forgot about “Leave Me Alone,” probably because I’ve only ever owned Bad on vinyl (but more likely because I just forgot about it).

lol "Janet Jackson and The Nation"

I'd like to interrogate Andy K as to why his allmusic review for 20 Y.O. is so positive while his review for Unbreakable is so mixed (despite Allmusic affixing a best of the year label to it).

Tim F, Wednesday, 15 July 2020 10:53 (five years ago)

lol see also Allmusic's abysmal "Velvet Rope" review

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 15 July 2020 13:13 (five years ago)

"like you don't love me" is a masterpiece

DAMN! IS THAT ALL I GET. FROM YOU?

uberweiss, Wednesday, 15 July 2020 13:54 (five years ago)

ACT LIKE I'M NOT YOUR LADY
DO ME LIKE YOU WANNA DO THEM OTHER GIRLS

An overdue relisten of Damita Jo wasn't an unpleasant experience at all, and while I already had 2 tracks on my ballot, I ended up coming away strongly considering up to 3 more.

okay I was not taking anyone seriously re: appreciating Janet's first two albums but "Say You Do" is a fukkin bop

shout-out to his family (DJP), Wednesday, 15 July 2020 17:05 (five years ago)

Oh yeah that's one of the few tracks I really enjoyed from the s/t, it sounds way too much like a Michael song for me to rank but it is a bop nonetheless

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 15 July 2020 17:42 (five years ago)

it is definitely biting about three MJ songs, it is also really good

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 15 July 2020 21:04 (five years ago)

There are now 7 ballots in and enough songs have votes to do a proper 77 (with a few to spare).

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Wednesday, 15 July 2020 21:26 (five years ago)

i used to think rhythm nation was a good but patchy album. now i realise it's all amazing. growth

i don't know how to rank the top 5 albums and what to omit this is torture

PS - what has happened to rich harrison??

krewki, Friday, 17 July 2020 12:44 (five years ago)

So, with one week left and 8 ballots in ... dare I open up balloting to allow for more than 40? Dare I say everything extra beyond 40 automatically gets 10 points each?

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Friday, 17 July 2020 13:15 (five years ago)

(Yes, I received a ballot with more than 50 and I can't penalize enthusiasm.)

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Friday, 17 July 2020 13:15 (five years ago)

^^ yup, got distracted in the abundance of goodness there, just cut off everything that's beyond 40 and don't mind me, I'll just weep quietly in the corner

krewki, Friday, 17 July 2020 13:30 (five years ago)

WHAT

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 17 July 2020 13:41 (five years ago)

Nope, I've updated the intro post and now the floodgates are open. Add away, Brad!

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Friday, 17 July 2020 13:43 (five years ago)

(I have at least a dozen I need to toss an extra 10 at.)

20 yo is actually just a straight up sick album

überweiss, Friday, 17 July 2020 15:34 (five years ago)

I'm going to submit a list of at least 20 but probably going to wait until the last minute in case I find the time for further listening.

Evans on Hammond (evol j), Friday, 17 July 2020 16:25 (five years ago)

yeah, i have a ballot coming. just trying to listen through to 20yo and Discipline and getting distracted by new music.

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 17 July 2020 16:43 (five years ago)

I voted. Where's my sticker?

justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Friday, 17 July 2020 21:19 (five years ago)

No sticker. Just a rope burn.

I want you to listen to ...

YOU!!!

Song that keeps jumping up on my ballot the more I listen to it and the more step dances to it I watch on YouTube: "Feels So Right."

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Saturday, 18 July 2020 19:46 (five years ago)

yep. very high up on my ballot

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Saturday, 18 July 2020 19:59 (five years ago)

Nine ballots in.

When I ran the Bjork poll it had 41. Just sayin'.

It's early!

I am voting, I just can't decide what to put on my ballot

shout-out to his family (DJP), Monday, 20 July 2020 14:15 (five years ago)

I voted. I only enjoy two JJ songs but I ranked them and sent ‘em in.

calstars, Monday, 20 July 2020 14:17 (five years ago)

Quality not quantity folks

calstars, Monday, 20 July 2020 14:18 (five years ago)

You need at least 10 for the ballot to count.

Also, for those who missed it, I'm now doing unlimited ballots of more that 40. (Anything beyond the top 40 gets 10 points each. If you turn in an unranked ballot of more than 40, all songs get 10 points each.)

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Monday, 20 July 2020 14:30 (five years ago)

Aww
Oh well

calstars, Monday, 20 July 2020 15:04 (five years ago)

i'm not familiar with the depth of her catalog (i think i've only heard 3 of her albums front-to-back) so i'm not sure if i will be voting on this, much as i love many of the songs that i do know

but i would like to express my support for the cool summer mixes of "nasty" in the remixes category :D

dyl, Monday, 20 July 2020 16:09 (five years ago)

absolutely

TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 20 July 2020 16:26 (five years ago)

I changed my mind, I am voting for "Say You Do", thank u DJP

vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 12:55 (five years ago)

It got a bonus 10 points from me.

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 13:24 (five years ago)

FWIW, as of now there is only one single song that's gotten votes from every person who voted so far (and no #1 votes).

Get the point? Good, let's dance with nunchaku. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 21 July 2020 13:24 (five years ago)

i am submitting a revised and expanded ballot. am i allowed to vote for the full rhythm nation 1814 movie as a music video
