70. EVERY TIME (from The Velvet Rope, 2006; 256 points; 7 votes)
There's not much to dislike on it (though if I recall "Every Time" is "Again v. 2.0" but not nearly as good)― Tim F, Sunday, October 19, 2008 12:05 AM (eleven years ago)

(To Tim's assessment, here's where I admit to thinking they did it better second time at bat.)
If only because the of the last 5 seconds, when the instrumentation of wan balladry is suddenly stripped away, suddenly leaving behind a husk of sexy electro-R&B tension that's evident nowhere else in the track.

67. BETTER DAYS (from All For You, 2001; 264 points; 6 votes)
So let's not really get down....BECAUSE JANET IS THE QUEEN! In 1993 she said in the Vibe Magazine what she thought about Madonna and it wasn't too nice, it wasn't nice at all to be honest! Janet has no reason to hate on Madonna! She is successful and has enough money to take care of herself for the rest of her life, not her and her kids (because she doesn't have any)! But let's not talk about Janet, because I will respond!!!!! QUEEN OF POP.....JANET! Rolling Stones, BET, Vibe, and even VH-1 has stated Janet is the Queen of Pop! MTV has said Madonna was, but then again they have also said Janet was!! But Janet been called the title by more people (magazines, television programs) than Madonna has! It' been so many others who have called Janet the Queen of Pop! She and her brother, Micheal are the KING & QUEEN OF POP! It just runs in the family! They are royalty to the music industry! Janet all the way!!― Alfonse, Friday, July 27, 2001 7:00 PM (nineteen years ago)

Just gonna start pulling quotes from the Madonna vs. Janet thread when I can't find anything better (days).
i remember liking feedback at the time but dont think its aged well.

“Feedback” is great but I feel that Electrik Red’s “W.F.U” is a superior version of the same idea and I suspect that Janet herself would agree if asked. Also there are like five better songs on Discipline, which I’m not sure anyone would predict without listening to the album.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 4 August 2020 22:01 (three years ago) link
“Better Days” is lovely and I wish there were more songs like it.
The outro to "Better Days" is pretty jawdropping. (Reminds me of the outro to "Break You Off.")

'better days', 'take care', and '2nite' — three songs that just missed my ballot. if i had expanded to 35 picks, all three definitely would have made it.

62. CHINA LOVE (from All For You, 2001; 290 points; 5 votes)
as opposed to the rest of the world, i think that "All For You" (the album) is rather consistent and overall excellent, with that rarest of things - a killer four ballad sequence (esp. "China Love" - as ornate and vividly exotic as Timbaland's finest out-there ballads).

― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Tuesday, 4 August 2020 23:02 (three years ago) link
I was hoping Better Days would be a bit higher. My favourite closer of hers and it ended up just missing out on my top 10. It's just the kind of song I've needed over the last few months.
China Love, I Want You and All Nite made my list too. Great run today.

61. NEW AGENDA (from janet., 1993; 303 points; 7 votes)
I was thinking what was the consensus of Janet Jackson on ilm now. I'm glad there is still some love of her in this board. I know in the early 2000s threads they were very cruel about her. Also, I think the gripes about her interludes are much to do about nothing. On later albums they don't go with the concepts of the albums well but during her "peak" years they enhanced aforementioned concept. From the intro to "New Agenda" is probably the best streak of songs on a 90s pop album.― Okay Pet Shop Boys Aren't That Bad. (lilsoulbrother), Monday, 21 February 2011 23:08 (nine years ago)

Today's run is a great assemblage of Janet deep cuts.
Love "The Great Forever" so much, that and "Should've Known Better" and "Black Eagle" really create this philosophical gloss to Unbreakable that lift it above being just a collection of mostly great songs.
