Seriously give "Who Is Jill Scott?" & "Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite" a shot. You might like/love what you hear! I know I did!

Yeah the first three in particular are three of the greatest albums of all time.

But go ahead and invalidate your entire music taste on the first page of this thread already, why don't you!

Oh I've heard most of Jill's albums... they're cool but not what I would consider among my favorite R&B albums...
I'll check out Maxwell's album though

[fortheloveofmusic]

Good lord I can see this being worse than the first one

I'm still trying to get over the fact you called Last Train to Paris an R&B album...
And as much as I love Electrik Red and Miguel's albums, among the top 50...
I'm only letting you slide with The-Dream's and Amerie's because you actually DID put their best albums on the list...

[nicklada]

include these or get gang raped




hopefully they all count

Yeah and Pitchfork agrees, sorry.

The most startling aspect of Diddy and Dirty Money's "Ass on the Floor" was not its liberal use of the militaristic snare loop from Major Lazer's "Pon De Floor", but how that loop was melded so successfully to the tearjerking R&B harmonies of Dirty Money members Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper. I suspect this was the ideological heart of Diddy's Dirty Money project: an insistence that R&B's sonic adventurism and its emotional intensity are in a relationship of mutual necessity, each offering a frame through which the other can be perceived in its best light.

In the top 10 albums ever maybe?

if this masterpiece doesn't make on TOP 10, I'll be DESTROYING something

I suggest less pre-'90s music and less Kimbra. J/K. Also I'm literally horrified at people not having How To Be A Lady or Complex Simplicity in their lives. Come ON, people, we can do better than this!

Oh, I'm sorry, I should totally base my list on what a paid reviewer says instead of my own opinion.

I'm going to give How to Be a Lady a second listen since I haven't heard it in over a year. I'll listen to the one...
I only have 5 pre-90s albums

Erm you literally posted what was confusing you a MINUTE before I posted that. Sorry I didn't hit refresh I guess.

And Last Train To Paris being r&b isn't an opinion it's a fact. And I don't get why you're, like, implying a Pitchfork reviewer was paid to say an album is of a particular genre. Kind of weird.

[Great Username]

Like, literally heaven. That piano, I need air. Naomi her vocal, why.

Fine. But the day I call Last Train to Paris an R&B album is the day I call Take Care hip-hop...

[fortheloveofmusic]

Some nice choices

PART 1

[Nait Phoenix]

I had to listen to Last Train to Paris again just to see what these two were talking about...

BLaCKPoWeR, if you let that album slide...

[Soda Pop Queen]

I'll send mine later.
