Personally, I'm gonna have to say 1993 (the best IMO, and my favorite) with 1996 probably being 2nd. 1993 had: Tony Toni Tone - Sons of Soul Jodeci - Diary Of A Mad Band Xscape - Hummin' Coming At Cha R. Kelly - 12 Play Mint Condition - From The Mint Factory Janet Jackson - janet. Mariah Carey - Music Box UNV - Something's Goin' On Intro - Intro Johnny Gill - Provocative Aaron Hall - The Truth H-Town - Fever For Da Flavor Tevin Campbell - I'm Ready Joe - Everything II D Extreme - II D Extreme Toni Braxton - Toni Braxton Uptown MTV Unplugged Mary J. Blige - Whats The 411? Remix Hi-Five - Faithful Luther Vandross - Never Let Me Go Bell Biv Devoe - Hootie Mack D.R.S. - Gangsta Lean ...(I think I'm missing some albums from this list...) Singles from 1992 albums that were big in 1993: SWV - Weak Portrait - Here We Go Again! Shai - Baby I'm Yours Shai - Comforter Silk - Freak Me Whitney Houston - I Have Nothing Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You Brian McKnight - One Last Cry SWV - I'm So Into You Silk - Girl U For Me Bobby Brown - Get Away R Kelly - Sex Me R Kelly - Dedicated Jade - Don't Walk Away SWV - Right Here (Human Nature) Zhane - Hey Mr DJ Christopher Williams - Every Little Thing You Do Whitney Houston - I'm Every Woman ...and more that can't come to me off the top of my head. I was gonna do the same for 1996 and make a list, but this would be one long post! Probably later in an other post... Do y'all agree or disagree? What do y'all think is the best (or your favorite) year in R&B music of the 90's? | |||

Hopefully when I finish up the discographies, I can make a way to view music by year. Picking a year after looking over its top hits, 1994 had a pretty good field to compete with that. Tevin Campbell - Can We Talk (93-94) Jodeci - Cry For You Xscape - Understanding R Kelly - Bump N Grind Janet - Any Time, Any Place Boyz II Men - I'll Make Love To You Boyz II Men - On Bended Knee TLC - Creep Toni Braxton - You Mean the World to Me All 4 One - I Swear However, the reason I'll go with it more than anything is that two artists I really enjoy hit their peaks in 1994, and All 4 One and Aaliyah both debuted then. Album Wise: All-4-One debuted with All 4 One Aaliyah debuted with Age Ain't Nothin But A Number Boyz II Men hit the heights with II TLC climbed to the top with CrazySexyCool | |||

90s4eternity 2008-08-06 15:56:38 Total Posts: 1 | For me it's from 1993 - 1995! The period when male and female groups were a dime a dozen. So much to keep up with to the point were some came and left unnoticed! | |||

R&B Guru 2008-08-06 18:55:55 Total Posts: 2527 | Too true 90s4eternity. I feel like in the mid 1990s, you got about a million knock off groups, plus all the legends that continued on. But the best part was, even the knockoffs were great back then! | |||
ilikeit 2008-08-06 18:59:42 Total Posts: 1156 | You right the knockoffs handled their business in the studio. I guess they didn't want to waste their money or the label's money which is their money. No matter how you look at it. LOL | |||

IMO, you can put 93 against 94 and half the time 93 would win and the other half 94 would win. I will agree with 90s4eternity that 93-95 were great years. | |||
