i love classic stuff from the '60s and '70s, but i can't get with the majority of contemporary r&b - it all sounds too slick and overproduced. the most recent r&b i've gotten into is macy gray, and she's not that recent at all, really. | |

Yeah, we gotta be more selective than ever with the current ARR'A and B. I grew up loving Luther, Marvin and The Temptations. Hey, the way that came out sounds like one big group. Can you imagine; "Ladies and gentlemen give it up for Luther, Marvin and The Temptations!" I'd buy some bloomers to throw on that stage. | |

I agree. Although I did like some of the music that was coming out around 1996-97, or around there somewhere. Stuff like D'Angelo, Rahsaan Patterson, Eric Benet, Aaliyah, and Maxwell. That's about it though. I actually haven't liked anything since that time period, when it comes to modern R&B. I suppose I could add Meshell, but I wouldn't call her R&B. I can't categorize that woman, she's just so damn funky. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Co-sign! The only current R&B artist that I follow is Mary J Blige. For the most part, anyone being adverturous in R&B isn't doing a whole album's worth of good stuff. Just a slickly produced single to reel 'em in, then an album's worth of filler. 70s is my fave R&B decade, but I think there were a slew of good artists in the early 80s as well. | |

Right now, Jill Scott, Dwele, Van Hunt and Musiq are in the rotation, and I need to include Amp Fiddler in that too. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I'm going to check this out! I'm always looking for good neo-soul music. In fact, I just got XM Satellite radio because they have an amazing station 61 - The Flow. Anyways, my favorite R&B artists in the "neo-soul" category are: Angie Stone - all albums Jill Scott - all albums Erykah Badu - all albums Amel Larrieux - Bravebird Alicia Keyes - Songs in A Minor Goapele - Even Closer Meshell N'Dgeocello - all albums Sade - all albums India Arie - all albums Lauryn Hill - Miseducation (it's been so long I almost forgot her!!) Rahsaan Patterson - all albums Van Hunt Bilal Martin Luther (similar, but better than Bilal) Maxwell Kenny Lattimore Eric Benet D'Angelo Sweetback - various vocalists I don't like: Calvin (I only like his duet with Angie), Musiq (he annoys me after a while), Anthony Hamilton [Edited 9/9/04 13:24pm] [Edited 9/9/04 13:25pm] [Edited 9/9/04 13:27pm] | |

The 70s was definitely the golden age of R&B. That's when you had Curtis, Stevie, James, Sly and Marvin in their prime, and when you had fantastic funk/rock bands like EWF, P-Funk, and the highly underrated Tower of Power. | |
