Which breakout album do you prefer?

Madonna's Debut Madonna (1983)

Janet Jackson's First Hit Control (1986)



Could someone post the album artwork for both?

I'd have to go with...

Both/Neither. Can't decide they're both too hot and still sound fresh...if only a Control Remaster would be made available...I think they both have two or three songs of filler that are still GREAT tracks and each a host of unforgettable dance pop/r&b.

fave song from each:

madonna: burning up
control: when i think of you

control. Though both arn't that good really.

Both were great albums...

'Madonna' was a great debut album...

'Control' was a great breakthru album for Janet...

so that's one vote for control (by default) and two undecideds...

anyone got the covers to post?

A worthy competitor, however I must go with



Control

Another Madonna vs. Janet thread!

I go with Control.

I never liked madonna's stuff. "1814" is the industrial shit I like sometimes. Madonna's early stuff is ok is guess. A album like robbie nevills first solo can kick madonnas overplayed ass.

Iam still surprised u dont like debbie gibson, u like virtually every other many female vocalists but not debbie.

You forgot that I tend not to like shitty music.

VoicesCarry said:

Madonna's albums are still pretty shitty.

No funk, no dice.

thesexofit said:

I think you should let MsLegs school you in funk, because you have no idea what the hell it is

Although I do give Debbie props for actually writing and producing her own shit, I must say that it is still whiny teenage bullshit pop with absolutely no style or distinctive traits. In other words: thesexofit music.

Both great albums. I prefer this one:




No, no. I prefer this one:

damn who knew this whole forum was so much more partial to janet than madonna

just to be different im gonna officially vote for

MADONNA

"I wanna know what funk is, I know legs can show meeeee"


Shutup voices, Iam just saying madonna ain't funky. Not saying u dont like funky.

newjack is funky too.

Its hard to like that sorta music when Iam only 19 years old. But its cool u do, but u are in the minority for ur age. Iam in the minority of one in my tastes, but thats expected.

"You know who Claudia Schiffer's favorite band is? Foreigner. Isn't that just the way? But you know what, so what? She's still the most popular. So what? She likes Foreigner." - Janeane Garofalo

Somehow, I think Claudia and thesexofit's tastes converge somehow

"control" - because at the time it came out, it was a case of a teenybopper who'd been releasing fluff coming out with something hard and aggressive and funky, while at the same time keeping some of the integrity of her softer side. that album kicked my ass when i first heard it - i couldn't believe it was janet.

madonna's first album? eh. it's fine.

I like everything about Madonna better than Janet, so...

Even though she looks like a hooker there, she's way sexier looking on the European cover.

Brilliant, brilliant album. Right up there with Dirty Mind by Prince. It took her 17 years to better this classic debut.

I haven't heard Control yet. Last I checked in the stores it was ridiculously overpriced. Someday, maybe. Never been a huge Janet fan though.

hey Voices, love your new avator. almost as good as mine.

am i the only person here that listens to Kim Wilde? never seen a thread about her, Perhaps I should start one. All u Janet & Madonna fans that don't know are really missing out.

'Madonna' is just simply one of my all time fav albums.

Although both 'Control' and 'Madonna' suffer from having utter CRAP filler songs, but 'Madonna' just pips it since 'Think Of Me' delivers. There's nothing as bad as 'I Know It' on 'Control' though.

What do you think of "You Can Be Mine"? I hated it at first; then realized just how purely funky it is.

I feel the same about both You Can Be Mine and I Know It - not great songs, but I don't dislike them as much as most do.

If we're going to have another Janet VS. Madonna thread, why not judge them by their bra sizes too?
