Rihanna's best era?

Hated the anti album, but think that’s her best era because she started to come into her own more 

[Oprah Winfrey.]

I remember the loud era the most, i loved her red hair phase in middle school 

[UnbrokenExaholic]

Good Girl Gone Bad, she was new, pretty, successful and had a lot of charisma and stage presence

Loud, she was one of the main pop girls and every single/collab was a hit, red hair suited her very well and she even released AND performed S&M with Britney

1. Unapologetic 
2. Loud
3. Talk That Talk

Loud because that's when the S&M remix happened

OK but seriously Talk That Talk is very underrated but I'll have to go with Loud. I'm convinced that the red hair gave her powers!

Good Girl Gone Bad is the first Rihanna album I ever bothered listening to and it wasn’t bad… so I’ll go with that one.

Music of the Sun

I became a stan from that era.

Good Girl Gone Bad, the underrated Rated R in a close second.

Good Girl Gone Bad.

That album takes me back to my teen years.

I voted for “Loud,” but it was a toss up between that and “Good Girl Gone Bad.”

”Umbrella” SAVED her career.  Rihanna was kind of a joke at that point and that song changed the trajectory of her career.  I remember a lot of people being shocked she wasn’t dropped from her record label after “A Girl Like Me” underperformed.

From what I remember A Girl Like Me did fairly well. SOS went to number one, Unfaithful and Break It Off were also hits.

Easily Good Girl Gone Bad for me.

For one, she probably wouldn’t be the huge star she is today without it.

It also has her most iconic song, Umbrella. It’s still her best in my opinion. 

The whole album was a new direction for her and gave her a distinct style. All of the singles were memorable and great. It’s my favorite era. 

[rednaldeirf]

Good girl gone bad through anti were incredible. And the singles from the first two albums were also incredible. Just didn’t love the albums as a whole. 

[Fita]

At first I voted at good girl gone bad era. But then I remembered Diamonds and how iconic it was and is. Unapologetic also has Love without tragedy which is a great track. So Unapologetic for me.

Rihanna wasn’t a joke then. Sure, her first era wasn't as eventful and she still had a lot to prove but by AGLM in 2006, she had established herself as a main pop girl with multiple hits. AGLM sold almost 4 million worldwide which were incredible numbers for a newer artist. The GGGB era was simply when Rihanna transcended into a superstar.

Unapologetic is her best era but the bottoms are afraid to admit that. She looked her absolute best and sounded the most confident she had ever did. IMO, that era was when she truly grew into her own skin. Globally, she was the most massive she ever was and became THE definitive it girl.

Just look at the material:

My fav era in term of music, style, fashion is Rated R. 

If we talk about charting it's LOUD without a doubt

I feel like Rated R is underrated. And it’s authentic.
