All over the place! Northwesr, , Southwest

Arguably the greatest decade for R&B. So many talented artists, producers and amazing songs.

So many memories from high school!

What are your top 5 tracks for the decade?

My list:

Shanice - It's for you

Toni Braxton - You're making me high

TLC - Creep

Mark Morrison - Return of the Mac

SWV - Right here

Over to you

To me, R&B/R'n'B simply means they're singing instead of rapping
