L4M has more critics than Confessions. Confessions will always be known as Usher "Best" work. Everybody and even my grandmother know that.

Yes, an album that was MORE HEAVILY criticized fared better.
Tell everyone and your grandmama to stop living in 2004.

& why do y'all hate Rather Die Young so much? I always see y'all trashing it. It's one of my faves on the album  |
I adore Rather Die Young; the way she goes OFF on the bridge and then transitions into that perfect airy, ethereal falsetto, the moody melody, the synthy 80s style, Angela Winbush esque bits in the track, the 60s/70s style horns on that come in on the chorus -- she brought together so many elements from so many time periods so beautifully on that song...it's dope. I will never understand the hate.

How can you sit up here and insult my musical taste when you can't properly defend your own?

It a good defend because for one, this list is the worst list I had ever seen in my life and for two, Confessions is way better than L4M and some on this album who is on that list period. L4m is a good album,but Confessions was his best work ever.

Because that was good R&B music. This list is all about "R&B" right? Confessions was a great "R&B" album that he ever did in his life. Songs like Confessions Part II, Burn, My Boo, Can U Handle It?, Do It to Me. Superstar, Throwback, and Superstar from Confessions is GREAT R&B music because this is Usher best work ever. L4M is a good album and I think is one of the best album of 2012 but it still not Usher best work and that album wouldn't work for this list because R&B/Dance-Pop album and there is a lot of album including "Confessions" is better than L4M like BLACKsummer’snight ,Dance with My Father, FanMail, Embrya, Baduizm, Maxwell's...is better than L4M which it not on this list.

Because Confessions will always going to be remember more than L4M. Confessions music is going to be timeless to the R&B listener out there while L4M really not. The only people who really going to remember this album and the songs on the album is people who stan for Usher and that really about it. Yeah! still get played on the radio and it came out 2004. I don't think the radio station 10 years down the line that going to play Climax, Scream or anything from L4M. Confessions will always be more remembered than L4M.

Exactly. Sales does not matter! Some of the greatest albums barely sell anything. It was a good R&B album, but that's about it.

People think that voting "4" as the greatest R&B album ever is a disgrace (which is actually is...), but let's face it: that album will be seen as a classic in a few years. It's Beyoncé's best album by a landslide.

Um no. Yeah! is more memorable than any single of 90% of the albums in this damn rate. With Confessions, Usher was able to bring Crunk&B music to a whole other level. Songs on Confessions make it one of the greatest R&B albums, and one the greatest albums this millennium.
The album took Usher to a Worldwide Superstar. Yeah! brought Crunk music to so many countries across the globe, something no other artist was able to do.
Burn is THE break-up song. Yeah! is THE party jam.
