Reed Rothchild | 9,493 Editorials Team · Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Master thread with standings Ratings key: 10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.9 - Killer fucking band. Or artist.8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.7 - Very good, but not quite great.6 - Pretty good. More than a few songs you like. You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area. Or still alive.5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.4 - Meh. There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.3 - Not very good. You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.2 - Not your cup of tea at all. Some people like this, but you are not one of them.1 - Horrible in every way.0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time. You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuNKeY | 241 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 2/10 I couldn't count how many times if I caught this on the radio I would change it or hit the off button. Chicks dig it though... *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJimtendo | 1,116 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The problem with 90s male R&B groups is that they spent their whole career being 90s male R&B groups but then bone thugs released crossroads and Put them all to shame....

Reed Rothchild | 9,493 Editorials Team · Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Jimbo my friend, with that 10 you gave Nickelback and the 0-2 you give anyone else I'm starting to suspect there might be some trolling going on... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I not give a 10 to Michael Jackson? If I didn't that was an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,013 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 6/10 At least they're much better than Color Me Badd, maybe do a music debate on them next. They've got the vocal harmonies. Motown Philly is a fun song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRobot | 5,778 Events Team · Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Overall I give em a 4 but Motownphilly is hype. Really I prefer New Edition, the predecessor and inspiration for the New Jack Swing era whose members spun off with the group Bell Biv DeVoe around the same time. For me, BBD is about on par with Boyz II Men but Bobby really comes on top of the post New Edition era. Boyz II Men have the longevity and fanbase though.

Code Monkey | 2,005 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Funny gaming related story. Back in the mid 1990s I got my first CD player for Christmas and got only 1 CD with it, it was Boyz II Men: II. At the same time I was heavily into Doom so I would play the CD while I played the game and to this day every time I hear Boyz II Men, I immediately think of blowing away imps with a shotgun and cutting people in half with a chainsaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, whoever thought up getting Boyz and Carey together to sing a ballad, that was sheer marketing genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mae247 | 207 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Meant to put 6/10 they had so many songs that other genres copied. Never knew it was some of their songs till later in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
