Of those, New Edition. I like them all, but as a whole album I think the NE album is strongest.
Blanche: Oh, I do love the rain so! It reminds me of my first kiss.
Dorothy: Awww, your first kiss was in the rain... Blanche: No, it was in the shower. | |

What do you know? We disagree. 
I could see the New Edition album being above Al B. Sure!, but that's as far as I could go. I consider the three at the top of my list the 3 very best New Jack Swing albums. | |

I always thought that was a wall made of acid-washed jeans behind Keith Sweat. NE had one song.. 'Can You Stand the Rain'.. that was it from that album.. whereas .. Bobby, Teddy, K.Sweat (who was under Teddy) were putting hits out.. everything Teddy put out was a success.. Bobby had "Dont Be Cruel","Every Little Step" "Tenderoni""My Prerogative" .. Bobby was kickin' ass back then.. and he put on nice shows (much better than NE).. i didnt like Al B.Sure.. but he was doing something.. | |

My favorite 4 tracks from each album: Make It Last Forever: Make It Last Forever, I Want Her, How Deep Is Your Love, Right and a Wrong Way In Effect Mode: Nite and Day, Ooh, This Love Is So, Killing Me Softly, Off On Your Own Girl Guy: I Like, Spend the Night, Groove Me, Teddy's Jam Don't Be Cruel: Don't Be Cruel, My Prerogative, Roni, I'll Be Good to You Heart Break: If It Isn't Love, You're Not My Kind of Girl, Can You Stand the Rain, Crucial Not surprisingly, I had the hardest time picking favorites from the Guy and Keith Sweat albums. I didn't pick "Goodbye Love," "Piece of My Love," "'Round and 'Round," "Something Just Ain't Right," "In the Rain," "Tell Me It's Me You Want"... | |

I didn't see that the Guy album was an option (since there was no picture and I cannot read apparently). I assumed you added it in there on your own. I like all those albums and would put that one near the NE album. Not sure if tied, above or what, but I like it a lot. I won it in a white elephant gift exchange several years back. The chick who thought it was a "joke" gift used to love it in highschool, but then she went all hippy, Grateful Dead and disowned it. I, of course, loved getting it as a gift.Blanche: Oh, I do love the rain so! It reminds me of my first kiss.

Keith Sweat: Make It Last Forever - November 24, 1987 
Al B. Sure: In Effect Mode - May 3, 1988
Guy: Guy - June 13, 1988 
Bobby Brown: Don't Be Cruel - June 20, 1988
New Edition: Heart Break - June 20, 1988  I wouldn't call New Edition's "Heartbreak" a New Jack Swing-inspired album. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis' percussion- and mechanical drum-laden sound was nothing like the rap beat-oriented music of the aforementioned (ironically, the other four albums were produced and/or performed by Teddy Riley). The Riley-influenced albums are considered prototypes of the New Jack Swing sound. If I had to rank them, I would go: 1.) Keith Sweat "Make It Last Forever." Of all the albums, this is the album that didn't have -- and most importantly, didn't need -- remixed tracks to sweeten their commercial appeal. The only album where I can listen to the tracks from wire to wire. 2.) "GUY." A strong album, save I did not like the Timmy Gatling songs. The album is stronger if the remixes to "'Round and 'Round (Merry Go 'Round of Love)," "I Like" and the "Do the Right Thing" song "My Fantasy" is added. 3.) Bobby Brown "Don't Be Cruel." Probably a stronger album than "Guy" in one respect in that it didn't rely on remixes as much to make it pop (particularly the title track and "My Prerogative"). What kills the album, IMO, the last three filler tracks -- you know, the ones not produced by Riley and L.A. Reid and Babyface. 4.) Al B. Sure! "In Effect Mode." I just never cared for this album -- all the songs sounded the same to me and I hated Al B.'s falsetto. There are a couple of tracks I did play when it was released (most notably the Riley-produced "If I'm Not Your Lover"). [Edited 7/19/07 17:42pm] THE TRAFFIC JAMMERS, The Org's house band: VAINANDY -- lead singer; NAJEE -- bass; THE AUDIENCE -- guitar; PHUNKDADDY -- rhythm guitar; ALEX de PARIS -- keyboards; Da PRETTYMAN -- keyboards; FUNKENSTEIN -- drums. HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS! | |

***'Make It Last Forever' is the best of the bunch.Back then,I really enjoyed this record....especially the songs "something Just Ain't Right","How Deep Is Your Love",the title track and "In The Rain".A good,solid debut album at a time when R&B was still alive | |
