I'm not really a fan of modern R&B. By "modern" I mean 80s through the present. Generally I find the instrumentation to be cheesy, the vocals overwrought, the production bland, and the songwriting flat and boring. I do like some things that modern R&B is related to—such as 50s/60s/70s R&B, hip hop, and acid jazz—so that's a possible inroad for me I guess.
