Mariah- Emancipation of Mimi. Nothing out of the world here. Just Mariah with her rapper friends.





Don't get me wrong, I like this album, but I never thought Rhythm Nation was one of the greatest albums in music. Control and Janet are far superior.

Janet- Rhythm Nation

Madonna-Ray of Light

A good album, but not THAT amazing.

I forgot The Emancipation of Mimi. As a former lamb I was happy for her success and return given everything she went through but I didn't like that album. It just isn't the same since her voice has deteriorated so much.

No way! Control has a couple duds and janet. is nearly half filler! Rhythm Nation 1814 is Janet at her best.

i don't think nevermind is overrated, but i think in utero is a much more satisfying listen. there's just so much more going on, so many more jagged corners and clinks and clanks compared to the relatively superclean sound of nevermind...which, fine, it made for a really nice hard rock pop album, but i think in utero showed that they could sound dirty and raw (even though they STILL had to clean up the sound on that album) and still be pop music at that time.

Oh, I love Control too. janet. suffered from being overlong, in my opinion. It's when the interludes started to become too weighty. I would have loved an album like this:

That's the Way Love Goes
You Want This
If
This Time
Throb
Because of Love
Again
Where Are You Now
Any Time, Any Place
Whoops Now

I agree completely, Nevermind rightfully deserves a place as one of the great albums of the 90s, but to me In Utero and it's rawness is the better album overall.

I love OutKast, don't get me wrong. I actually fell like the album itself was a bit underrated as a whole because it should have dropped more hits, but I feel it was overrated based on all the hype it did receive off of 1 single from each side (if you catch my meaning). I feel Prototype is a better song than Hey Ya. Also I feel their previous albums were just stronger in general.

I dont consider myself 'superior' in terms of taste, but when people try to promote the likes of Debarge and Janet Jackson as great artists I can't take them seriously.

That simple it is.


Then enjoy your exclusive club of like-minded, self-congratulating musical illuminati.


I'm amazed at anybody who could be one-dimensional when it comes to their taste in ANYTHING lol whats the point of enjoying life if you can't have a lil' variety? Then again, some people are happier dwelling on repetition and put it instead on a high caliber shrug

How could such a versatile artist attract people with SO limited, close-minded & snobbish view on musicianship to this site is so beyond me.

I am gonna disagree with you. This to be is their best CD by far, especially, Andre's side. All of the previous efforts pale in comparison to this....

Not only was it predictable, I thought it was way too "messagey". The music got lost. My favorite is "Control", after that, she because a spokes person for the hearing impaired.

I was referring to it being predictable that Bootylicious would post a Janet album.

Rhythm Nation 1814 is a wonderful album, and I'd rank it as her best.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I think 1814, is her most overrated CD, to date.
