Spice (Virgin, 1996) by the Spice Girls

Okay, I know this album is, for the most part, really terrible.  However, I got this album when I was like ten because my next door neighbor had it and we'd listen to it sometimes when the two of us would be hanging out.  In hindsight, "Wannabe" is a bad song, but it does have a catchiness to it.  The other song that I came to appreciate later (e.g. when I hit puberty) was "2 Become 1" because it was five pretty girls singing about sex and in '98 Ginger Spice posed for Playboy too.

Chain Letter (Virgin, 2005) by Brooke Valentine

As of right now, Brooke Valentine is pretty much considered a one-hit wonder.  However, that is somewhat surprising considering the attention that this, her debut album, was given.  She is a gorgeous woman, but that sexiness brought about interesting content that not all other performers who are easy on the eyes talked about (if I'm not mistaken, she makes reference to poking holes in condoms at one point).  The track with Big Boi, "Girlfight" not surprisingly is solid.  But for all intents and purposes, at this moment, Chain Letter was the beginning and the end of Brooke Valentine's singing career (she now goes by B. Valentine).

Damita Jo (Virgin, 2004) by Janet Jackson

This is a bad album.  I was a huge fan of the predecessor, but this album seems like it was trying too hard.  All For You is a sexually suggestive album by one of the sexiest women ever.  Its follow up, however, leaves next to nothing to the imagination and comes across as gratuitous.  The one record that's half-way descent is "Strawberry Bounce" which samples Jay-Z's "Can I Get A…"

The Velvet Rope (Virgin, 1997) by Janet Jackson

The part in that episode of Family Guy where Brian shoots at a copy of this album is really funny.  The album is too long and has too many interludes.  But I really like a couple tracks on here.  "Got 'Til It's Gone" with Q-Tip and the Joni Mitchell sample does Joni's "Big Yellow Taxi" justice, "Go Deep" is a great upbeat song, and "Together Again" is rightfully one of the biggest hits of Janet's career.  All the sexual material on the album is cool, but nothing is left  to the imagination and so it comes across as shock for shock's sake instead of intimate expression (the cover of Rod Stewart's "Tonight's the Night" and how Janet made it a song about lesbian love was pretty dope though).

janet. (Virgin, 1993) by Janet Jackson

As the title suggests, this is Janet declaring her independence from the rest of her family (read Janet, period).  The album also continues to show growth in Janet as far as the sexual content of her music.  Control had "Let's Wait a While."  Rhythm Nation had "Someday is Tonight."  And janet has "Throb."  Personal developments aside, Ms. Jackson also covers serious social issues- most notably on "New Agenda" with Public Enemy frontman Chuck D.  The two most popular cuts, "Again" and "That's the Way Love Goes," are both very good.  The former is a great record that also worked well with the promotion of Janet's film Poetic Justice with Tupac and the latter is a chill mellow song that not surprisingly topped the Billboard charts for two months.

All For You (Virgin, 2001) by Janet Jackson

All For You is the sexiest album I have ever encountered (how appropriate that it came out on my fourteenth birthday).  Not only is Janet captivating in the album artwork, but her sensual vocals and subject matter make for an intriguing listen.  Production-wise,  the set holds up.  But All For You's highlight is Ms. Jackson on "Would You Mind."  Considering the album's aforementioned sexuality, this is the most extreme case.  It is the only time a song has ever given me an erection.
