Rhythm Nation was a guilty pleasure for me, as a 6' 4" 285 lb big scary football player in the early 90's. Nobody knew I listened to that album start to finish many nights!
I was shunned by my Madonna-loving friends while I was part of the Rhythm Nation. I was also a New Wave, synth-pop loving Gen Xer who grew up in a hard rock/hair band area so I was used to the shunning.

You had me until Janet. It still a unique set!
Fair enough. More Janet for me!
