My all time favourite is When I Think Of You - first 7" single I ever bought!

I love all the Control apart from Funny How Time Flies, and I'm not too fussed on Let's Wait Awhile... when I grew up and realised they were about sex it was a bit ewwwy.

I'm not really too fussed on the stuff inbetween that and The Velvet Rope - I love the singles off that - and after that, All For You and Doesn't Really Matter were the only ones that have grabbed me.

If. Fantastic track.

Love most of the tracks on janet., Velvet Rope and All For You. Trust a Try is the very definition of 'shoulda been a single'

Feedback should also have been much bigger than it was. Discipline was a great album. I really don't understand why she fell out of popularity so dramatically. It can't all be due to Nipplegate.

Mine too-have this on my IPhone at the moment.

So many great tracks, but would probably put Miss You Much, If, That's The Way Love Goes and Nasty somewhere near the top.

I love that Pleasure Principle mix, had it on 12in vinyl, played it loads whenever getting ready to go out, nearly wore the record out.

When I Think of You and All for You are faves too.

The DJ Premier Hip Hop mix of Together Again is amaaaaaaazing!

Other than that, I would say That's The Way Love Goes and Black Cat.

Mine are Nasty and Together Again. Both very different. Nasty has one of the most incredible beats ever, and TA is so beautiful and touching it makes me cry. Both have awesome music videos, too.
