His work with The Brother's Johnson is really all you need:

The Brother's Johnson debut album, Look Out for #1, which was #1 on the R&B charts
Their 2nd album, Right on Time, peaked at #2 on the R&B charts, gave us the #1 R&B hit Strawberry Letter 23 (interpolated by for Curren$y's Money Machine 2) and won a Grammy for the track "Q"
Their third album, Blam!, again #1 on the R&B charts and #7 on the pop charts
Their fourth album, Light Up the Night, once again #1 on the R&B charts and #5 on the pop charts.






I could also throw in James Ingram's debut album "It's Your Night" just 'cause you wanted five. RIAA Gold, #10 on the charts and was nominated for four Grammys that year, winning one.

Is the BJ album better than Bobby Brown's first album? Boyz 2 Men's albums? Toni Braxton's albums? Babyface's first album?

jussayin... Go Go ain't really been heard outside of the DMV since EU in the late 80's.

Put some respect on Beyoncé Crazy in Love, Amerie 1 Thing, and Jill Scott It's Love.

Better is subjective. But BJ's albums and songs are classics and James Ingram's joint is a classic of 80's R&B.

Make a poll for any of those albums i named and BJ won't stand a chance.

Be forreal, how many people would even know that? 'cause until I read what you just wrote I didn't even put it together.

Well, I like to know the musical influences of songs I like and love so I can't speak for other people.

shits completely different eras. That's like saying "Make a poll: "Bodak Yellow" vs "So What You Sayin'""

yeah, and The Brother's Johnson's albums were from the 70's and Ingram's album was '82, what's your point here?

Sonically you can't even compare the late 70's/early 80's to the late 80's/early 90's.

 

[Goldie]

Lol so now you cant compare early 80s rnb to late 80s rnb. Cool.

You're trolling again... Stop that.

You in here saying you cant compare 80s rnb to 80s rnb.

I'm done debating that shit.

Qj ain't even top 5

What about Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis?

 

[Black 🖤]

Tevin Campbell had hits tho. Gotta give Quincy credit for that as well, but I ain't puttin him over Babyface or Teddy Riley.

The song TC is known for was written and produced by Babyface lol

 

[Goldie]

Idk if I'd put em in my top 5, but they're easily better than QJ.

MJ produced and wrote a lot of his own shit, I'm not giving QJ full credit for that. Then to add to that, niggas like Babyface, JJTL,etc were making the beats and writing the songs. QJ wasn't doing that shit.

Get that nigga df outta here man

the bulk of Quincy Jones' production work was from the late 50's through the early 80's. None of which you would likely be familiar with outside of his work with MJ.
