Even though they weren't my fav group, It goes w/o saying that Boyz 2 Men OWNED the 90s and was the standard, quintessential r&b boyband of the 90s which featured a boatload of groups...(the most probably since the 50s or 60s).

but

who would you say was 2nd?

The knee jerk reaction (for me) is to say New Edition but NE's reign was more 80s than 90s but I still had to include them because they were probably the musical influence for a lot of the groups in the poll. The 90s is when the members of NE starting branching out doing solo and other projects.

I think a case could be made for each group in the poll, though, as being the 2nd best r&b group of the 90s. They all were trendetters in their own way.
