What are your top 3 Rnb Groups of the 90s?

[David_TheMan]

Yeah, but that all has to do with shyt like record labels and radio, politics and ass kissing.

Talent trumps all IMO, and while the artists you're calling second tier may not have the industry manufactured pop hits, they have songs that will be remembered forever by their fans and lovers of music, thanks strictly to their talent.

Nope talent hasn't and will never trump all in business, marketing is a huge deal in selling any product, more than talent.
Like I said though these were 2nd and 3rd tier groups, even though they were just as talented if not more so than some of the top tier groups, especially 112 which might be the vocally weakest R&B group of the 90s.

 

[Cheech&Chong]

This needs a sticky







Many tears shed to this one



Solo track but Jodeci birthed

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

New edition
En vogue
112

All that's fine if you're somehow benefitting financially yourself from their financial/business success.

However, I'm just a fan.

I don't hear their first week sales or billboard positions coming out of my speakers when I put their records on.

All I hear is their level of talent, so that's all I'm concerned with.

Your reading comp is poor.
I simply stated reality, you seem to want me to argue your opinion.

Jodeci
Dru Hill

This is my list too, except I can't leave out New Edition - so I'd need to stretch it to a top 4.

 

[David_TheMan]

Got to give a honorable mention to Hi-Five

Blackstreet were number 1 tier, what you on about they were huge in the 90s.

Wasn't their best stuff in the 80s.
They only had the reunion album come out in the 90s didn't they?

Blackstreet was nowhere close to Boyz 2 Men, Jodeci, Dru Hill, 112 in the 90s. Nowhere close and I say that as a Blackstreet fan. They weren't on that level of the top R&B groups IMHO.

Now I don't rate this list as solid or reliable but it gets the job done in what I'm talking about.

Exactly.

I mean, this is my shyt...



but 112 would sell their souls to Puff all over again today, in order to be able to sing some shyt like this..

Home Again was released in the mid-90s, arguably their best album. They make my cut simply off the strength of that.
