TwistedElegance™ Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Well here we are. 1990 threw all kinds of classics our way and across 50 pages of shade, tears, tantrums, drags, and laughs we've whittled our way down to this. Janet Jackson occupies our top two spots, and even though we're on a Janet board this still stands as a testament to what a ground-splitting moment in music Rhythm Nation 1814 was. This feels right. Our runner up is... Writer(s): Janet Jackson Producer(s): Janet Jackson, Jellybean Johnson Label: A&M Coming in a very close 2nd for 1990 is the hair-raising 'Black Cat'. Released as the sixth single from Rhythm Nation 1814 and going on to become her fourth No. 1 on the Hot 100, the hard rock production earned Janet a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance, making the superstar the only artist in history to have Grammy nominations spanning the Dance, Pop, R&B, Rap and Rock categories. The track has remained a firm fan favourite over the years and proves its worth here again in our countdown. Which means... Writer(s): Janet Jackson, James Harris III, Terry Lewis Producer(s): Jam & Lewis Label: A&M Claiming victory for 1990 is the untouchable 'Rhythm Nation'. Jackson's wish to pack the first half of Rhythm Nation 1814 with hard-hitting social commentary was served no better than with this classic. Calling for an end to injustice and pleading for racial unity, the song's message hit just as hard as its pots-n-pans percussion, at the same time showcasing Janet's voice like no other in her catalogue. The track's revolutionary video took on a life of its own, picking up MTV, Soul Train and Billboard awards and inspiring countless followers. Billboard readers voted it the tenth best video of the '80s while Slant magazine, VH1 and MTV all ranked it on their lists of 100 greatest videos ever made. By all accounts it is a very worthy winner of 1990 Survivor! So how did we get here? The votes stacked up like this: Rhythm Nation: Escapade, Bailey, hotboy, JoeJoe, HollyHood, TwistedElegance Black Cat: Bu, Reyna, Illi, RedSimba, jarrylf It was that close! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Congratulations. I can't be bitta. The winner is an amazing song on it's own. Though BC is my personal favourite - the winner is well deserved. This was fun to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarrylf Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Yea it's a win win for me, as long as it was a RN song I was cool, that whole era & album slayed thus why I was willing to fight for every song listed from that album because I really do LOVE every song on there more tha other songs I love, were it the Control or TVR era it'd be easier for me to drop Janet songs for others. But anyway RN is the perfect song to win, it's a whole movement, it's eclectic, it has great vocals, an iconic video amazing performances to this day, nothing else on the list quite compares on that aspect.

RedSimba Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 This has been quite a fun, exciting survivor! RN is iconic and an excellent choice for winning song. I'm guessing 1991 will continue in this thread? Ready to vote out Timmy T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
