"The Velvet Rope" is most definitely Janet's best album to me. My all time favorite from her. Absolutely no skips, her most personal work, and I loved her looks during this era. The red hair and septum piercing was everything. Great video.
I'm ok with your list, but I'll put the Velvet Rope album in second place because of "Go Deep", "Together again", "Empty", "I get so lonely" and "Special". Here my list: 1. Janet 2. Velvet Rope 3. Rhythm Nation 4. Control 5. Design of a Decade (RUNAWAY)
I absolutely love your top 5 picks but its so difficult to pick a best or greatest Janet album because she has so many masterpieces. I love Janet and Michael are collectively me favorite artist of all time.
What a fun video. I gotta say… 20 YO was a great album and really a celebration of R&B music and you can most definitely hear the JD and Atlanta influence. My personal fave is The Velvet Rope… with Janet a close second. She is a true Artist and innovative.
Major Janet fan, here... Great vid! We have about the same ranking 🙂 I own her complete discography on wax as well (except for the American release of her Greatest hits). Hopefully she'll release new material soon. Thanks for sharing!
My favorite Janet Jackson Album is Rythem Nation 1814 and Janet. those ones I listened to a lot as a teen, and also the ones I know her best work from. I don't have all of her albums on vinyl, but I do have most of them on CD. Nice rankings though.
My favourite is Janet. I love the vibe of it however I could lose the snippets in-between the songs. My second favourite is rythm nation im a huge prince fan and it sounds a bit like a prince album. My favourite song by her is Any time, Any place.
The janet. album is my favorite and my first introduction into Janet Jackson. I just love that era. Your video was spot on except Discipline for me is higher than 20YO
Oh, what an amazing video! I quite love all your vinyl, I think my fabs are Design of a Decade (there are all 80s & '90s hits), Velvet Rope & Discipline or A4U.
Very nice look at the albums! I wish more artists did 12" picture discs. I have Janet's Alright UK 12" picture disc I bought when it was released. I know the quality of the sound can be affected but it's a great thing for collecting. Madonna was the one who really went for picture discs for her singles. I have Madonna's "Music" UK 12" picture disc single too. Great collection you have!
1. Rhythm Nation or Velvet Rope(tie depending which day you ask.) 2. Unbreakable 3. Control 4. Discipline. 5. DamitaJo 6. Design of a Decade 7. All For You 8. 20 Y.O 9. Janet 10. Janet Jackson. 11. Dream Street
I would have put control over Damita Jo to but you have to realize this is based off this persons opinion if you don’t like there opinion go make your own video ranking Janet’s albums/vinyls
Very much appreciate the time and effort you put into this, but I totally don't agree with this list. None of your top picks would've happened without the massive success of Control and Rhythm Nation, which should definitely be the top 2. One possibility I'm also guessing is that you were either not around or too young when those albums initially released (1986, 1989)? Control and Rhythm Nation were not just phenomenal albums but were complete game-changers in the pop music industry.
While the legacy of both albums in Janet’s career and pop music at large is undeniable, this list is based on my personal preference at the time of making this video. I didn’t do the ranking thinking of which albums had more impact, but simply what I like. I do agree with you that being around at the time of release influences your connection to certain albums. I grew up in the 90s, hence why I connect more to her 90s albums.
Lol, I had the T-Shirt for the "Janet" Album... totally thought it was nothing wrong wearing a T shirt with a topless Janet and someone holding her top, at 16/17 y/o lol. Couldn't understand all the funny looks at the time lol.
I'm not going to say that I agree with you but I guess I'm trying to understand where your mindset was because you did say that your opinions change depending on your moods.
My top 5:
1. Damita Jo
2. The Velvet Rope
3. Janet.
4. All for you
5. Discipline

I absolutely love your top 5 picks but its so difficult to pick a best or greatest Janet album because she has so many masterpieces. I love Janet and Michael are collectively me favorite artist of all time.
Agreed! Super difficult to pick her best. For ma apart from TVR being number 1 they are always changing!
What a fun video. I gotta say… 20 YO was a great album and really a celebration of R&B music and you can most definitely hear the JD and Atlanta influence. My personal fave is The Velvet Rope… with Janet a close second. She is a true Artist and innovative.
Velvet Rope was her most intimate body of work. Such a sexy deep album
My top 5:
1-the velvet rope
2-all for you
3-rhythm nation 1814
4-control
5-Janet
🙌
Great job! So happy to see All For You high on your list. I agree it’s among her best.
It really is! 🫶
Control is definitely the top three.
Control is the best album start to finish... bar none
He doesn’t know I’m alive and you can be mine are trash tho lol. Rhythm Nation is definitely better start to finish
@@DixyChickens That's your opinion... all the best.
i’d rather rhythm nation, and velvet rope better tbh
@@tevaunstewart4606 Fair enough... I like the conscious path of a lot of RN songs. My 2nd fav Janet album behind Control.
Nah Velvet Rope is the best, even Janet said VR is her fav Album
Control should have been higher! 😢
I know, I did Control dirty 🙈 But I just love every album so much that it was difficult to place them in the ranking 😅
Janet and the velvet rope are the best for me I love them all but those two are my faves thank you for this.
Major Janet fan, here... Great vid! We have about the same ranking 🙂 I own her complete discography on wax as well (except for the American release of her Greatest hits). Hopefully she'll release new material soon. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I'm dying for a new Janet album! ❤️🔥
My favorite Janet Jackson Album is Rythem Nation 1814 and Janet. those ones I listened to a lot as a teen, and also the ones I know her best work from. I don't have all of her albums on vinyl, but I do have most of them on CD. Nice rankings though.
Thanks for sharing! 🙌
The Velvet Rope and janet. Are currently the 2 best for me ❤
My favourite is Janet. I love the vibe of it however I could lose the snippets in-between the songs. My second favourite is rythm nation im a huge prince fan and it sounds a bit like a prince album. My favourite song by her is Any time, Any place.
Love your choices! Any Time, Any Place is one of my favourite Janet songs! ❤🔥
I have four Janet albums in my collection. I am still stoke that I got The Velvet Rope on vinyl. It’s one of my favorite albums 🖤.
Me as well, I have four of them: "Rhythm Nation", "Janet", "Design of a Decade" and "The Velvet Rope".
1) Rhythm Nation
2) The Velvet Rope
3) Janet
4) Unbreakable
5) Control
Velvet rope and Janet - can’t decide between them but the songs “if” and “new agenda” made me a true Janet fan!
Both amazing songs!
Control is a pop masterpiece
The janet. album is my favorite and my first introduction into Janet Jackson. I just love that era. Your video was spot on except Discipline for me is higher than 20YO
Oh, what an amazing video! I quite love all your vinyl, I think my fabs are Design of a Decade (there are all 80s & '90s hits), Velvet Rope & Discipline or A4U.
such a beautiful collection 😭 I think the OG All for You might be my next addition because the picture disc just does not do the album justice
The velvet rope
All for you
Rhythm Nation 🎶
🙌
Wish I had the amazing 'Unbreakable' double LP
Control,then rthymn nation
I’ll go with All For You as my favorite! 😀
You get it. You get everything ❤
@@joshuac4087 🫶
What a great collection you have! Janet is also one of my favorites ❤️ I wish I could attend her concert one day...
OMG I WANNA THEM ALL
Very nice look at the albums! I wish more artists did 12" picture discs. I have Janet's Alright UK 12" picture disc I bought when it was released. I know the quality of the sound can be affected but it's a great thing for collecting. Madonna was the one who really went for picture discs for her singles. I have Madonna's "Music" UK 12" picture disc single too. Great collection you have!
I agree, picture discs are cool collector's items! Janet has a few of them: Rhythm Nation (album and single), Whoops Now/What'll I Do and Feedback
@@theunsleever I didn't know about some of these, thanks.
Yes! Velvet Rope Masterpiece 🔥
1. Rhythm Nation or Velvet Rope(tie depending which day you ask.)

Excuse Me?How the Hell Is Damita Jo Better Than Control?….
I didn’t say it’s better. This list is based on my personal preference :)
I would have put control over Damita Jo to but you have to realize this is based off this persons opinion if you don’t like there opinion go make your own video ranking Janet’s albums/vinyls

“But it’s clearly for the locals” lmao
Damita Jo sounds to me like a mix of Janet quality and sophistication with the sound of The Emancipation of Mimi
Lol, I had the T-Shirt for the "Janet" Album... totally thought it was nothing wrong wearing a T shirt with a topless Janet and someone holding her top, at 16/17 y/o lol.
Couldn't understand all the funny looks at the time lol.
@@Manatti06 hahaha love this story! 😁
It’s Discipline > 20YO > Unbreakable for me.
My number one album is Tge Velvet Rope, too!
I'm not going to say that I agree with you but I guess I'm trying to understand where your mindset was because you did say that your opinions change depending on your moods.
😍
🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
I agrre with you om the number 1. There's something about The Velvet Rope that is so addictive. BTW, Billie Eilish is hating you for having vinyls.
Lmao not Billie!! I think I can live with that 😅
Damita Jo is the worst to me and Velvet rope is the best. Unbreakable is an underrated gem
LOL. I am only familiar with the earlier albums from the First one to the Janet album. After that, I kind of lost interest.
Queen😂 jajaja
Control is a pop masterpiece
