I could've sworn there was some news a year or so ago about SWV getting back together...they did a show or something. Maybe no label was interested in signing them since R&B isn't about singing at all anymore and the girls aren't 18 anymore! Sucks!

Chuckii Booker
Stevie Ray Vaughan (yeah, I know he predated the 1990s, but it's when he was hittin' again... )

Arrested development

None. I hated the 1990s, especially from the R&B side.

Newkirk
Tony Terry
Me Phi Me
II Close
Intro
Joe Public
Tevin Campbell

Maybe there's some industrial rock bands I'd prolly dig, but I can't say there are any artists who started in the 90s that I miss.

love Soul II Soul! Caron Wheeler can SANG!

I loved New Jack Swing. I still bump Guy! It was cool and smooth. I miss that mellowed out R&B style. NOw all the females are 'hoochie looking' and all the guys are gangsta looking, very sad.

immature (their 1st album on virgin in 92' was tight b4 they went pretty 4 mca)
troop
phaze
prophet jones (a short lived "jodeci-esque", vibe but they were one of the few male r&b groups that could really sing)
dru hill(b4 sisquo choked on his own hype in 99'-2001 they were the shit)
IV Xample (had this 1 song in 95' called "from the fool" that was real nice)
good 2 go (only had 1 song called "never satisfied", but the bass player on the song was gettin as funky as he wanted 2 be)
the boys (could be looked at as yet another "jackson 5" throwback, but these 4 lil brothas from Africa by way of Compton were pretty damn good)

I know that hip-hop had started creeping into R&B music as far back as 1989, but at least it didn't begin to totally overtake R&B until about 1996. Now, unfortunately, it seems that most R&B can't be done unless it's based in hip-hop.

the New Jack Swing music style is my FAVORITE sound of the nineties as well as BabyFace

dancerella said:

80's R&B is cool...hmmmm....

This thread is like a trip through my HS memory lane. I loved New Jack Swing & 90s R&B...

SWV
Tony Toni Tone
Tony Rich
Soul For Real
Jade
Xscape
Monica
Brandy
and the Boomerang and Low Down Dirty Shame soundtracks.

I used to have so many CDs but when I moved to NYC a couple years ago I purged my collection and got rid of a lot of the less popular groups. Wish I still had em...

I was just back at my parents house about a month ago going through my old cassette tapes (yes I didn't get into CDs right away ) and found some of these:

En Vogue
Shanice (I Love Your Smile )
Nenah Cherry (Buffalo Stance)
PM Dawn
Blackstreet
Boys II Men
Heavy D
Sir Mix-a-lot (Swass!)
Tracie Spencer
JJ Fad (although they were a little more late 80s)
TLC (their first album)

and some Prince maxi cassette singles!! (Gett Off and 7)

forgot a few edit
