List your ONE favorite R&B album each year of the 90's. Don't know if this has been done before, but list your ONE favorite R&B album each year of the 90's. (No "remake" or "best of" albums allowed obviously) When you're done, if you want to, list which years were hard for you to decide on.

1990: Guy - The Future 1991: Michael Jackson - Dangerous 1992: Mary J. Blige - What's the 411? 1993: Shai - Right Back at Cha [if this doesn't count, Terence Trent D'Arby - Symphony or Damn... if that doesn't count, Babyface - For the Cool in You] 1994: Mary J. Blige - My Life 1995: D'Angelo - Brown Sugar 1996: Aaliyah - One in a Million 1997: Erykah Badu - Baduizm 1998: Playa - Cheers 2 U 1999: Mary J. Blige - Mary Easiest choice: 1995, because Brown Sugar is the R&B album of the decade IMO Toughest choices: 1992 (with apologies to En Vogue, Shai, Silk, and Tevin Campbell) and 1998 (I feel for Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Brandy's Never Say Never, but I have to go with Playa) hmm. i was thinking of putting the guy album and whats the 411 too. good list. but playa over lauryn hill? dru hill? maxwell? i dont know about that one. LOL. | |

Note: Favorites by year are chosen by release date. (Example: Jodeci's 'Diary of a Mad Band' was released late December in 1993 but made all its noise during 1994, it would still be considered a '93 album, instead of '94 due to its release date) Mines: 1990: Johnny Gill - Johnny Gill 1991: Keith Washington - Make Time For Love 1992: After 7 - Takin' My Time 1993: Mint Condition - From The Mint Factory 1994: Mary J. Blige - My Life 1995: D'Angelo - Brown Sugar 1996: Tony! Toni! Toné! - House Of Music 1997: K-Ci & JoJo - Love Always 1998: Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation Of... (but if you don't consider it a full R&B album, then: Dru Hill - Enter The Dru) 1999: Silk - Tonight The hardest years for me to make decisions on were '92, '95 and & '99. Are soundtracks allowed? | |

Good question. Go for it, but you must list your favorite studio of that same year as well. | |

I've often wondered if construction of a red lightsaber takes place before you can become a Republican, or is it something you do after initiation. Dah, well...  | |

I've seen it, but never picked it up. I didn't care for the title track. I absolutely love it. I bought it because it was on sale for like $6.99 (especially cheap in '98) and it ended up being my favorite impulse purchase ever. It's more cohesive and consistently good than albums by bigger acts like Boyz II Men and Jodeci IMO. I think it has some of Timbaland's best and most underrated work. Just listening to it takes me back to my junior year of college. Good times, good times... I was always holding out hope for a Playa reunion, but Static's death this year ended that.  | |

Yep, you are correct. Amazon has it originally being released November 13, 1990, the CD version was released in 1991.

How can I forget,1998's ENTER THE DRU!!! There was no album that year I played the most. Damn I'm not good at compiling these lists, I always fuck it up.
