The 18 Best R&B Songs of the 90’s

While many musical historians look at the ’90s as the decade in which “alternative” and hip-hop music exploded from the underground into the mainstream, experts of Insidermonkey haven’t forgotten that the decade was flush with a number of stone classic R&B tracks. And if you are a fan of R&B, check out this article on the best R&B songs of the 90’s.

Surely, the children of the 1990s have a better perspective on all of the brilliant R&B music that came out at that time because their experiences with the songs aren't clouded with nostalgia. If a gang of them had been responsible for picking this list, maybe they would've rated it by the numbers, a list based on facts rather than feelings. But we don't listen to music in a vacuum, and personal associations are part of why we come to remember, and love or hate, certain songs. And who knows, maybe those 1990s kids are actually even closer to the music than people who were old enough to remember it in real time because, as R. Kelly pointed out in 2011, "Let's be honest, how many babies been made off me?" Who has more of a bias: the fan who grew up with En Vogue, or the fan who was conceived during "That's the Way Love Goes"? Consider this as you read you through this list of The 50 Best R&B Songs of the '90s​.

And as I have seen, most people who loves music, love to party as well. And if you are one of them, you shouldn't miss the article of 10 best party songs of all time to bring the house down with.
