Why, it's the Janet Jackson "Control" album poll!

man alive. too hard. god DAMN!

.... WHEN I THINK OF YOU then.

pleasure principle. one of the coolest videos ever!

runner up..
"i know he USED to do nice things for you.. but what has he done for you lately?"

daria otm I love that video so much.

"Let's Wait Awhile." Perfect Jackson/Jam/Lewis balladry.

too harxd!!!!

Going for the title track here, which is sonically interesting without ever losing sight of the tune.

"Nasty" is of course one of the worst things ever to have happened to music, but the rest of the album is nice enough.

title track does rule, i must admit, but i get weak for You Can Be Mine, He Doesn't Know I'm Alive and When I Think Of You. and then of course you have Pleasure Principle which is like heaven.

this is what i'm saying, it's too hard.

"Nasty" is of course one of the worst best things ever to have happened to music, but the rest of the album is nice enough.

that part in He Doesn't Know I'm Alive

"when he opened the door
I could have died -
there I was, all aloooooone!
Talk to him?
I said Excuse me, I thought my
friend lived here"

UGH

When I Think of You = winnah.

EDDIE! WHAT HAF YOO DONE FOR ME LATE-LEE?!?!?

Amazing album.

This album really helped me through a crippling depression. SO wish I'da been teen-aged when this came out.

how so?

I've played video games that had better music in them.

lol

Anywayz, I vote for "When I Think of You".

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I can't decide!

i did it!!!!!!!!

You Can Be Mine

i know WHOAAAAA

You know, I don't own this album; I've the remix record. Are the album tracks worth hearing?

um

That's a big duh.

I had to be an annoying populist and go with Nasty. But really, no track on this album is anything short of classic.

actually i'm really glad someone went with Nasty cuz it's so obviously like the fierce single at first. but it's an album where getting to know it is so much more fun than just the big single. so i was worried no one would go for Nasty.

i think maybe Pleasure Principle might take it, that or What Have you Done

I regret not voting for "Let's Wait Awhile". A magnificent song, and possibly the best ever ballad by Jam & Lewis.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ha! called that on the nose

Nope, these results are six shades of wrong. Nasty should be WAY up there, even if I voted for When I Think of You at the last minute (yeah I know I said Let's Wait Awhile was my fave, but I guess I caved in hopes the former would win).

control didn't get enough love either

when i was seventeen, i did what ppl told me -- ha!

did what my father said, and let my mother mold me -- well, that was long ago

I'm in control.

Nasty should be WAY down there. The rest are all great, but "Nasty" is absolutely godawful.

when i was seventeen, i did what ppl told me -- ha!

I know, this is the line that most kills me in that whole song and to be honest I really didn't like it much when I first got into this album. It just touches me somehow that her whole deal was becoming independent from her family...she even has a vignette at the beginning of one of her videos where she argues with her "pretend" parents, I can't remember which one it is, but it's from this album.

It's so fantastic to think her dad had been her manager all that time for her first two albums and then she fired him and became a superstar overnight. I'm all for independence, me. My hero Genesis P. Orridge once said that families were abusive institutions and I'm afraid I agree. They don't have to be, but they often are, even just subtly, psychologically. My friend gets all upset about arguments she has with her family all the time and I'm like "Man, if there are no financial ties of necessity there, let them go. You will be more sane, trust me."

It's the "Control" video.

WHO'S THAT EATIN' THAT NASTY FOOD????????????????????????/

LOL

... though WRONG.

the 12" mix of "Control" is one of the eighties' greatest pieces of music.

i'd been the lone vote for Funny How Time Flies (When You're Having Fun) had i found this in time...

and for the camp lo song that samples it

I can't remember which one I voted for now, but it was one of the 1st placers.

me too, i love both of the 1st place songs equally but 'control' is right up there

i listened to this album hundreds of times in grade school/middle school :)

;)
