Kim Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 63. Tina Turner by Janet Jackson Tina Turner has become more than just a musical superstar and sex symbol, though she is definitely both of those things. For me — and I imagine for millions of others — Tina now stands as an enduring symbol of survival and of grace. Her music is a healing thing. Remember that famous introduction to "Proud Mary," when Tina talks about liking things "nice and ... rough"? We all know that she faced some rough times in her life. But the reality is that life never threw her anything that she couldn't handle. One of Tina's big hits is called "We Don't Need Another Hero." Yet Tina has become a heroic figure for many people because of her tremendous strength. Tina doesn't seem to have a beginning or an end. I felt her music was always there, and I feel like it always will be. The story of Tina's rise and fall with Ike Turner is well-known. You can see what it was like in the movie What's Love Got to Do With It. But I believe it's time to put the Ike story to rest. The truth is that when Tina came back in the Eighties, she became much bigger than she was the first time around. Tina's story is not one of victimhood but one of incredible triumph. In the beginning, Tina's music was based on hard times and harsh realities. Think about a song like "Nutbush City Limits." That was her story. But over the years, her story changed, and her music reflected those changes beautifully. Tina has the ability to dream, get out, get over and get on with it. She's transformed herself into an international sensation — an elegant powerhouse. But wherever she may be, whether it's in Spain, Asia or Egypt, she's never forgotten her humble beginnings. Tina Turner knows who she is, and to this day, she remains one of the true greats. In every sense, the woman has legs. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/100-greatest-artists-of-all-time-19691231/tina-turner-19691231 ----- @ the majority of the list.

ThatOtherFan Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 They have SHADED Janet from 2004 and beyond...they try to come off as relevant by stanning for whomever is currently ruling the charts, but they are out of date, out of touch, and I'm not here for them. Simply put, they are non-motherfucking factors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply put, they are non-motherfucking factors. They only gave Janet the shade for DJ and 20, which was well deserved for putting out to dismal albums. They liked Discipline, and gave it 3.5 stars, more than all of her peers (minus Madonna) who all released during that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 at Muddy Waters making the list. Yes! But why is The Beach Boys and Nirvana so high? That's dumb. and some of the R&B/Soul artists on the lists are better singers than artists. They made the same mistake with the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time list" - there were better artists than singers on the lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking all of these "lists", etc... They've been shading Janet consistently since 2004. Both Janet and Mike actually, but that changed once Mike died...I guess you have to die to get recognition from Rolling Stone (if you're a Jackson).

ThatOtherFan Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 FACTS. I'm not here for unsubstantiated facts/tea. Honestly, there is no reason Madonna should be on the list and not Janet...and Madge certainly shouldn't be that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I fucks with that rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did they shade MJ when they named Thriller the #1 album of the 80's AND gave it a 5 star rating? Stop acting like MJ is ALWAYS a victim.
