BMG is where I bought my Dream Street CD also.

And there is no more Columbia House. BMG bought them out.

my dad bought me the dream street cd in a sam goody circa 1988.

my friend got me the janet jackson cd at wherehouse for my 16th bday.

i say jj is eons better. dont stand another chance from dream street is great, funky shit but the rest of the album blows IMO.

i am not a huge fan of either runaway or twenty foreplay, and thus don't care if they're not on my iPod.

i think it's a crime that younger fans haven't been able to get "Control" on iTunes for so long. when are we gonna have a proper remaster of both "Control" and "RN1814?????" I'd love a janet boxset with those two, two discs chroicling the high points of TVR, janet., Damita Jo, 20 YO and a DVD of the janet. tour. Bring it! (Leave out All 4 U).

Seems like a lot of casual/new fans are happy to roll with Design Of A Decade anyway.

I actually have Dream Street on CD. I'm a big Janet fan and have followed her for 18 years. But I found EVERYTHING on Dream Street to be dreadful. At least Janet Jackson had a few jams I liked. But this tragic album can be judged from its equally tragic cover, in my opinion.

That's how I purchased my copies a couple of years back

Damn, I like 3 songs from her debut album - who knew??

all I know is..I was playing "you want this" the other day...bouncin' my butt around singing and dancin' and wondered...

It's sad when they get wack

Go and join yourmusic.com and you can get the albums for $6.99 each.

daPrettyman said:

holy moly! i just went to that site. all for $6.99? and free shipping? what's the catch?

ah, i see. you get charged for one every month. still, not bad, if you buy at least one CD a month on top of whatever you're looking for.

daPrettyman said:

they arent listed though...or are they?

I've been a member for over a year now. It's an excellent service (and it used to be $5.99/CD until this year). Even better, that means double discs are only $11.98. I can't recommend it enough for people who buy a lot of catalog CDs.

what about the first single "You Don't Stand Another Chance"? Michael can be heard singing background vocals.That was a decent song.

SoulAlive said:

Awful.

When I was 17, I loved 'Dream Street. But I loved songs by Stacey Q and Debbie Gibson at the time.

LaToya's Heart Don't Lie > Dream Street

DAAAAAMN When you put it like that "Hot Potato" and "Private Joy" vs. "Dream Street" and "Don't Stand Another Chance"

i prefer Dream Street to her first one. the songs on the first one are better, but the production is enough to put you to sleep. there's at least some life breathed into the songs on Dream Street.

Never bought the very first CD (I was lucky and ordered 'Dream Street" on BMG right before they stopped issuing it...not so lucky with JJ) so maybe I'll get it online.

Y'all suck - I was singing "Come Give Your Love To Me" all day @ work today

CalhounSq said:

That's the best song from her debut album I like that one

SoulAlive said:

J Dilla did a really cool beat with that song, but I can't remember who doesn't hate sampling on the org?

Moonbeam said:

Now that's fair judgement. The album cover does look a little K-Mart-ish.

TonyVanDam said:

The sad thing is, I had a feeling I would hate it at first, but then somebody told me that all the songs sound like "R n B Junkie", so I got really excited, only to be majorly disappointed!

CinisterCee said:

That's what I thought, all y'all are uninterested.

CinisterCee said:

Is it a Dream Street sample? That's why!

The full "Dream Street" album and the remaining tracks that were missing from "Design of a Decade" have now been added for sale on the US version of iTunes.

With these two additions, Janet's full catalogue of albums is now available to purchase for the first time ever in digital format at the online store.

so this pretty much means that if a million people downloaded one of the albums, it would go platinum and towards her riaa sales?

wow I know madonna & janet are on itunes, I hope michael is too
