Quote from: Justice Jackson on April 05, 2023, 02:22:54 PMI was obsessed with all R&B girl groups in the 90s so I can't really choose sides. TLC was definitely bigger than SWV and Xscape. But they were all loved by myself and my friends. I would say Brownstone was at the bottom but I loved them. And then 702 and Destiny's child got bigger right at the Millennium but were also popular before that. En Vogue was always more adult but played a lot at my house.

We talk about sales now but we didn't really care about that back then.

Good point, if were talking my faves then it's SWV/DC4/702 in that order.

But sales and impact I'd say:

En Vogue
DC3/TLC
SWV
Xscape/Brownstone
702


Then the lesser girls like Jade, Kut Klose, Mokensteff etc

Switch Jade with 702.Don't Walk Away still gets played everywhere

Quote from: Justice Jackson on April 05, 2023, 03:26:21 PMLol oh come on "grapevyne" and "if you love me" were pretty major. But otherwise their "choir" wall of sound is still unique till this day. Their two albums weren't that great to me but the impact was there. I also like the singles 5 miles to empty and Baby Love.
5 miles to HEAVEN  :oof:

So glad it's finally on Apple Music

Quote from: Vonc2002 on April 05, 2023, 01:09:28 PMLuckily Tamika's tone is very similar so we don't miss her frfr

I know so many people feel like Tamika is killing it singing Tocha's parts but she really isn't, her tone combined with the hate of Tocha are just saving her.  Tocha voice is higher and their singing styles are different. The problem is Tamika comes off like she's trying to imitate Tocha when she do the parts and I'm sure it's mainly bc people expect to hear the parts sung a certain way so she's keeping it as close to the original as possible.

I really hate that they have her leading the entire who can I run to song bc it sounds so jarring to me how she tries to go back to her regular singing style on her verse after singing higher & imitating Tocha on her verses.  She sounds great on do you want to though. 
Eh... 🤷🏾‍♂️
