It was only with Heartbreak that they really came into R&B. And if you look, after that they didn't release ANY albums for what, 8 years? They've really only had three R&B albums over a 20 year period. How can you say they're better than Boyz II Men given those specs? Honestly, New Edition's work as an R&B group is really overstated.

They grew up and got better and then were able to branch off into more success, creating a lasting imprint on RnB. They were one of the most popular groups of the 80's so its hard to bring up that era without bringing up NE. I guess you didnt feel their "adult" albums but I think "Heart Break" at least deserves the credits its usually given. On to get this topic back on track: Deborah Cox >>>> Beyonce R. Kelly and Usher are hella OVERrated Chante Moore is hella UNDERtated Joe > R.Kelly & Usher Keith Washington is a top 5 male soloist of the 90's. In general, slow jams > uptempos(I got nothing aginst them though) To be honest Guru, I dont really hold the "kiddy" era against them. I mean....they were kids after all.

I also never said I don't like their adult albums, Heartbreak is tight. I was just saying they don't have A LOT of adult albums. Given the praise they get, you would think they would have had more albums under that style. Havok, I didn't say I don't feel them.

Blige albums are all classics. -Silk's 2nd album is super-underrated. (Too many gems on that album) -"Johnny Gill" >> "Don't Be Cruel" >> "Poison" >> "Ralph Tresvant" -Comforter > If I Ever Fall In Love >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Baby I'm Yours -Michael Jackson's "Invincible" album wasn't no "Thriller", or "Dangerous" etc. but it was still a very damn good album. -On that note, "Dangerous" >>>> "Bad", (even if Dirty Diana >>>>>>>>>>> any track on "Dangerous") I gotta c/s Hav on the NE comment.

They are such a great group. Comforter was sooooo bad lol. Johnny G is the man though, he can tell all of the other NE guys to suck it. All of Silk's albums are underrated.

Havok214 2009-04-21 17:32:21 Total Posts: 407	Comforter aint bad at all. I love the way the verses switch off between group and solo singing. Since we're on the subject of Shai, I gotta say that the verses on "sexual" have some of the best lyrics I've heard on a sex song. Especially verse 2. Also, them guys fell off without Goove. I hate the fact that he left the group. I never accepted the new guy. Comforter aint bad at all. I love the way the verses switch off between group and solo singing.
