Description

After releasing two underwhelming albums under the direction of her managerial father Joe, Janet Jackson seeks independence and becomes boss. She closes out her teen years with 1986's Control - an album that places the emphasis on 'Janet' rather than 'Jackson.' Also, a new gang forms and joins the Grunge Hunx and Lady Faces in the Boogie Chitz universe.

065 Yazoo - Upstairs at Eric's (1982)

A neck-to-nuts banger of a synth album found in a genre mostly celebrated via individual songs and videos rather than LPs. Upstairs at Eric's contains by my count three 'oh yeah I know that song' songs that are probably recognizable to the greater American public.
