[XANDER CAGE]

I feel like I'm in a dentist's waiting room.

Bam.

 

[wandering goat]

It's always been mostly crap or mediocre stuff all along, but I have to say that personally, the music toward the end is much worse. At least a lot of the R&B is fluffy and inoffensive, some of the shit at the end just hurts to listen to. Just like always, much good music exists, it's just not usually the most popular.

Nooo, unless you have a hard time enjoying most music. The section from "Independent Women" to "Hot in Hurr" (around 13 minute mark) is almost all quality

 

[Gegz]

I'm so depressed, i miss 90's R&B so much

 

[WrenchNinja]

MMMBop...fucking Hanson.

This is like a timeline of my life.

 

[krameriffic]

What's with all this slow, sappy ballad shit at the beginning?

Early 90s fucking sucked.

Not gonna lie, it's a bit of a nostalgia overload.

OH FUCK RICKY MARTIN

 

[Mumei]

A lot of Mariah Carey. She slayed the 90s.

And by starting in 1993, they skipped five of her number ones.

 

[Subliminal]

Oh, I see the drop in quality is after ace of base? Nothing can top the ace of base!

 

[alphaNoid]

lol the songs slowly get worse and worse

 

[TheExodu5]

If Hot in Here is your standard for quality...

 

[Damon Bennet]

My memory of when certain songs came out is really bad.

and wow timbaland was a hit-machine. where is he now?

 

[Alfarif]

And by starting in 1993, they skipped five of her number ones.

Someone else did 50s-1993. That's why this person started at 1993.

Anyway, this brought back so many memories during the 90s.

The 2000s fell off HARD with songs that just don't matter. AT. ALL. I told my friend that in the 90s, Pop/R&B was good/non-repetative. Early 00s, it was Hip Hop that brought the A game. But late 00s it's "rock" music that's at least not terrible. Everything else on this list is trash.

 

[06nbarnhill]

Eh I am not on the bandwagon of people claiming everything new is terrible. There are always people saying this and they are ALWAYS wrong. Back in the 80's and 90's people were saying the exact same thing.

Some days the delusions of people who pretend that they are on the cutting edge of music and taste in general disgust me.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

OP backfired in like 15 seconds. I approve.

 

[Zoramon089]

If Hot in Here is your standard for quality...

I mean...it was entertaining. But still most of the songs in between the two I mentioned were good

 

[LakeEarth]

Haha, Informer.

The drop in quality is not surprising. Today I checked Futureshop's boxing day CD deals and clicked "rock". I got Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Selina Gomez. Under motherfucking ROCK! The fuck happened?

 

[Koodo]

but nobody wants to LISTEN TO THOSE

There's a simple reason for that, sis.

 

[Satch]

There's a simple reason for that, sis.

kick rocks with no shoes on!

 

[Leona Lewis]

There's a simple reason for that, sis.

Gurl, "Satellites" transcends any sales considerations. Plus, didn't Sasha Fierce practically set the world on fire when it came out?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Good music died with mmmbop

 

[Shepard]

That was great. Didn't see the drop in quality you guys are talking about. Music changes, there are a lot of great recent songs.

 

[toastyToast]

holy shit at all the r&b

 

[brotkasten]

OH FUCK RICKY MARTIN

The first half is like listening to WhineFM. I'm glad it's gone.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

Only 6:40 or so in, but I haven't heard a song I like yet.

 

[Blutonium]

WTF is this shit. 90's = eurodance.

 

[brotkasten]

My memory of when certain songs came out is really bad.

and wow timbaland was a hit-machine. where is he now?

Trying to get a deal with David Guetta.

 

[LOZLINK]

WTF is this shit. 90's = eurodance.

Agreed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvgUdrzGNys&feature=related
Best best best

 

[Bleepey]

Katy Perry is sabotaging music and what is "black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow? lol

Ah ha You know what is .

 

[Souldriver]

My two observations:

• The high point for me personally is the Timbaland-Timberlake combo from around 2007. Sexyback, My Love, Promiscuous, Man Eater, Say it Right, ... All great songs that became hits within a short period of time. And I still enjoy all of those songs today.
  
  
• Overall, the one artist that I seem to like the most on a consistent basis, is Rihanna. Not all her number one hits are great (though a couple are), but none of them are offensively shitty either. And she has been dominating the charts the past few years surprisingly.

 

[Escape Goat]

R&B crashed and burned. Oh, 90s. you giveth life and taketh life away.

 

[Mariah Carey]

As it should be.

Pop music went to hell after the 90s, and R&B stopped being mainstream. WHYYY

Good lord, you post on NeoGAF now, too? Can you do anything original?

 

[lush]

CrazySexyCool is such a good fucking album, Creep's still a jam. Fun listen that would've been much more with decent audio quality.

 

[bodyboarder]

Ah memories.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Whole thing sounds pretty shitty.

 

[SlipperySlope]

A lot of it is shit, but I loved these:
Seal
Coolio (eh, it was catchy)
Creed (Yup, I'm one of thoooose)
Savage Garden

 

[computers putin']

TLC's whole catalog is amazing, one of the best groups of the 90's, if not the best.

 

[Koodo]

CH-


This is a catfight I want to see.

 

[hateradio]

Agreed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvgUd...eature=related
Best best best

Sounds coo.

 

[SlipperySlope]

That other poster was right. After Eminem, there is a huge pile of shit. Took like 10 minutes after the first Eminem song to find anything resembling decent.

 

[Mumei]

CH-


This is a catfight I want to see.

Amusingly enough, Leona is a Mariah fangirl.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Amusingly enough, Leona is a Mariah fangirl.

I think between the two of us, we've amassed enough material for a 4-disc "Best of Mariah in Concert" compilation

Sorry Koodo, ain't nothing to fight about!

 

[Mumei]

Between PMs and posts, quite probably.

I appreciated the Christmas link, by the way!

 

[Sanky Panky]

Yeah I think MMMMBOP just made me gag a bit and reminds me of the decline of MTV...

I still hold 2003-2005 near to my heart with the awesome clubbing songs (aka nostalgia from the college days).

 

[Larson Conway]

Shit got real when I heard "I must confess..."

And oh, Genie in a Bottle was number one?

Also, Mariah was like the Rihanna of the 90s, huh?

Unpretty still remains a favorite song until today. What a beautiful song.

Destiny Child's first hit for me was Say My Name -- I can't even remember No No No.

-- It's interesting how there's a sore lack of ballads in there. The only one that really stuck out was the Titanic song.

 

[ZealousD]

Seemed like Mariah Carey and Beyonce (w/ or w/o Destiny's Child) had like half the list.

Best songs on the list were One Week, Bailamos, and Firework.

You're probably looking at me funny, but I don't care.

 

[ZeroRay]

Terrible from beginning to end mostly lol.

Edit: Still partial to late 90's-mid 2000's.

 

[ZealousD]

still can't believe Shaggy went like .. what was it, 10x platinum?? on an album that was out for SIX MONTHS in the previous year without airplay, then blew up all of a sudden.

It Wasn't Me and Ms. Jackson played back to back and I puked in my mouth.

 

[weekend_warrior]

OMG, They went from Biggie to OmmBop.

edit: then to I'll be missing you.


edit2:

You weren't kidding, it gets terrible in the mid-2000's.

 

[Shadow Red]

Ain't terrible at all, man. TLC, Savage Garden, and Mariah Carey...I'm missing the 90s now.

 

[MidnightScott]

I've heard the majority of those songs.

90s - slow love songs
00s - hip hop
10s - pop
