I saw it on late night recently...

meh list, seems very 10 minute thrown together.

What did you guys & gals think?

Im watching it now.

R Kelly- I believe I can fly now-playing

The list felt so... just meh.

First off Bel Biv Divoe poison number 1? i get it.. it had that sound f early 90's R&B.

But does it really define 90's R&B like a Whitney, R. Kelly, TLC, Aaliyah, En Vogue, Brian Mcknight one?

And i get why they picked Bump N Grind & I Believe i Can Fly in the top 15... cause after Bump so many rip-off songs of that throughout the decade

When A Womans Fed Up or If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time is what i'd rather seen

Oh & i love Whitney... but as i said before if i don't hear I Will Always Love You for a few years.. that's ok

I just hope Back to Life was on it

Thats a 90s track but its sounds late 80s and its to New Jack Swing. It probably should rank Top 20 of the best R&B tracks of the 90s but ranking it number one is to easy and to high.

meh, i mean it's a good jam but i personally wouldn't put it top 20... top 40 is good.

AND no Lauryn Hill or mack Morison.. ok maybe mack is a stretch

Some of the songs ala I Will Alway Love You, I Believe I Can Fly & This is How We Do It... are still overplayed today like they just came out

Poison out of all those songs listed, is the one that they can play at any party and people not look around like "IS this fool playing some old shit?"

Still jams to this very day.

Compared to other songs on that list like Humpin Around and This Is How We Do It ... in Vain's words "gets the asses shaking!"

Nope. And I'm glad I didn't see it. "Poison", the top R&B song of the 90s????

I noticed they had no D'angelo on there either damn.

I tried to copy and paste the 40 songs here,but couldn't.I dvr it and skimmed through it.I probably like 5 of the 40 songs in total.Boys II Men motown feeling was my fave.But new jack swing wasn't my kind of music.The songs all sound the same.

God bless all those who grew up on this music and love it.

Im curious how many orgers here who grew up on Motown or disco/funk era,went on to like the 90s new jack swing sound.I know alot of young people liked it.

What would be 2000's top R&B songs?How would you characterize them? Would it be new stuff like

Miguel and Frank Ocean? Corporote slop like Jennifer Hudson.Does Beyonce and Alicia Keys define it?Is it popish sounds of Rihanna,Neyo and recent Usher stuff?

That 90s list is based on R&b sales and chart success.Pretty much all the music is strictly limited to new jack sound.Several had hip hop feel to it.

The 80s list would be fun.You had funk,R&B,electro.Maybe disco and hip hip squeeze in.
