we can't forget Al B Sure ---yeah, yeah, yeah I know I'm dating myself but dammit I don't really like a lot of the stuff that passes for music anymore. I miss the days when music wasn't so overtly sexual-- back in the day they could talk about a woman's beauty and attributes without being so up in your face.

Seal's 1991 debut album (when he still wore dreadlocks) was awesome. His subsequent albums were a bit too subdued and mainstream for my taste.
Neneh Cherry was a huge influence on trip-hop groups like Massive Attack and Portishead and she's still making very forward thinking R&B/Electronic music. TLC was always a guilty pleasure for me in the 90s but their music has stood the test of time over the years. Terence Trent D'Arby's 1987 debut, The Hardline, was a favorite album of mine for many years. He spent most of the 90s in a dispute with his record label which resulted in him releasing very little new music during that decade. He's still making music and has released three excellent albums since 2001. I still love the indie hip hop groups of the 90s like P.M. Dawn, Digable Planets, Arrested Development, Us3, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest. This black and white cinéma vérité video of the song Where I'm From (embedded below) by Digable Planets is my favorite video of the 90s:

I consider several of these 80s -- not 90s, even if they did overlap into the 90s and 00s...A great example in your list: "Ready For the World" -- sure they had albums in the 90s and 00s but their hey-dey of having singles on the radio and videos on TV was the 80s "Atlantic Starr" is another one I also consider 80s, which is where they had their hey-dey...they had two or three albums in the 90s but I dont think they even charted (or barely) and only had one charting single ("Masterpiece")
