To be fair, he calls it the most racist music in the world, which one could equate with hate. Then there's the 'reggae is vile' quote. But like I said, it's obvious he doesn't hate reggae. He might have for a brief stint in the mid-80's, but other than that - no. And yeah, like you said, all the artists mentioned made mainstream RnB, not reggae.
I would agree with you especially wrt SW. He's written some beautiful music; Black Orchid, All In Love Is Fair, as just 2 examples off the top of my head...I could say more, but you get the general idea.
I think Janet’s made some great stuff. The Rhythm Nation album was edgy and sonically quite interesting. She also made some good soul music in the 90’s (the self titled album from 1993 and The Velvet Rope from 1997). She’s also an astonishing dancer. You’re too harsh, Bookish!
I’m still waiting for you to tell me your favourite song

you are wrong
this happens 'when you watch the video montage' on youtube
instead of actually being there in person.
Pretty sure he was thinking of "Run Powell Run" by Laurel Aitken (1969) which is (a) brilliant and (b) an image of which was shown on Central in maybe 2018 or 2019?
Agree about her dancing abilities, so there's that! I don't know, it's just the *sound* of her records that sets my teeth on edge. But I'm thinking of her 80s stuff, and haven't heard much of those two albums you mention.I think Janet’s made some great stuff. The Rhythm Nation album was edgy and sonically quite interesting.

Nerak posted a great 80s cut from Janet, and Rhythm Nation was a huge hit in ‘89. It’s not something I actively listen to, but I got to give credit where it’s due. But I also see your point, there are artists you simply cannot get into or even stand.
I guess, some of it, at least. I think some of the stuff she made with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis was actually pushing the envelope and sonically exciting.
