[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Away from the Hip-Hop Wars the Pazz and Jop poll moves smoothly onward to 1986 - some great singles here but very few names that had not previously appeared in P&J. You get NINE ticks from these 25 tracks.

Actually I'm slightly surprised by the overlap between what I had heard on the commercial radio station in London I used to listen to, and what cooler-than-thou taste-master critics across the US were voting for. I think I must have known 13 of these; and I'm guessing probably also Janet Jackson, although I can't remember a note of it (I have a wierd blind-spot for her records, I honestly couldn't tell you a single thing about any of them!).

You have just described Janet Jackson's music very well.
