Janet Jackson – Music Suggestions

Sure, if you’re Gen X you remember the Control album. (Read more about the Control album on Wikipedia).

You probably also remember Janet’s Rhythm Nation 1814 album. (Read more about the Rhythm Nation 1814 album on Wikipedia)

You remember Janet wearing that single key in one ear in her music videos then.

You remember “What Have You Done For Me Lately,” (Link You Tube) and “Nasty” (Link You Tube – audio only. Link You Tube – official music video).

You of course remember the Rhythm Nation 1814 song and video (Link You Tube). And Miss You Much (Link You Tube). Love Will Never Do Without You (Link You Tube).
