What are your Top 5 R&B albums? It doesn't matter if it's contemporary or old-school, what do you like? I'm curious and want some new ideas. [Edited 4/4/08 10:11am] | |

Wow, that's hard. Because I classify some albums as soul and others as R&B.
I think Me'Shell Ndegeocello's Bitter might be in my top 5. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Trina Broussard's remake of "Inside My Love" and "Hopeless" are masterpieces (along with most of the other trax on the album).  **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I love it all too. "I Never Thought I'd See The Day" makes me feel deeply sad and peaceful at the same time. "Haunt Me" does similar things. "Keep Looking" is the smoothest, sexiest, most effortless self-help song I can think of. | |
