The DEFINITIVE Ranking of 90s R&B Boy Bands

You love lists and Look to the Cookie doesn't do enough of them. Germar has HAD IT! Enough with the debates. Here, he settles it once and for all. Boys II Men or Jodeci? Jodeci or Dru Hill? Jagged Edge or 112? If your fav didn't make this list, here's a tissue. Also, they probably fit better in the 80s or 00s. This is SCIENCE. Who's the sexiest? Who had the best choreo and executed that ish? OR For the non-dancers, who beat up them drumheads, or slapped a nice bass line? Who had the most hits, honors, and awards? And most importantly, who had the voices?

Note: Germar does judge appearance here, and some of these men were minors in the 90s. In those cases, that judgment will be based on their appearance after they reached the age of majority.

42) PM Dawn deserves better, but numbers don't lie
