I would’ve liked to see a few more tracks from the first two albums or a couple B-sides slip in there, but it’s pretty impossible to argue with the top 20. She had great singles.

my pleasure (principle). thanks for running it. lovely results and poll.
― Spottie, Friday, 7 August 2020 23:53 (three years ago) link
thank you for like the eighty seventh time eric. this was super fun from the start. it's also made re-realize that janet is one of the defining aspects of my musical mind. she was so amazing with such brilliant material at the perfect times in my life and i guess i've sort of forgot that over the years.
sentimental story crap (feel free to skip to next post):when i first moved down to southern california five years ago, i was in a place i didn't understand, having to navigate streets i didn't understand, going to talk to people i didn't understand. i was consuming a lot of new music in those days, but the barnes and noble that i knew how to get to had catalogue cds for stupidly cheap; like fucking neil young on the beach for $4.99. just massive finds for people to discover or resdiscover. i went in one day with one thing in mind: music that made me happy. as the walking cliche that i am, that was the music of my childhood and early adolescence. and janet was there very often. so many of those rhythm nation songs are so powerful in the mind of a child.
as we get older, we get cynical. we think of pop songs as nothing more than a clever marketing tactic to get us consumers to, y'know, spend. but the way she always just seemed to absorb, accurately translate, and transcend some of the most innovative music ever in a thing of awe. and she always felt natural in that role. let's get to it: she was so fucking cool. just. . . man. maybe it is all just a clever marketing tactic and it totally worked on me because i picked up control and rhythm nation that day, for something like $12 after sales tax.
all i know is that, when i hear some of these songs now, i remember that wise beginner's mind of a ten year old: if it inspires me, it inspires me.
anyway. brilliant poll and rollout. cheers.

oh wow it all happened “THATS THE END!?”I have one anecdote about “If” and why I love it so much that I would have shared at the appropriate moment in the rollout but welpI visited the US for the first time in 1993 through school, and spent 10 days in Grand Rapids MI billetted with a local sponsor family & attending high school with the sponsor-family girl my age. On my first day at my first ever American High School™️ I got to watch their pom-pom squad’s dance rehearsal in the gym. Their whole rehearsal was to “If” and it was so great I nearly lost my shit. (Crazy now to think about, since the lyrics are O_O but whatever)They incorprated a lot of those same awesome angular moves as JJ’s original choreoanyway to this day whenever I hear it, i think of those killer girls dancing their asses off in formation & praise the lord fod giving me THE best American High School™️ memory from that trip ~end~

i'm kinda surprised "when i think of you" was the highest placing track from control, it's never been a standout to me in the way that "the pleasure principle" and "what have i done for you lately" are
