Always feel like Thriller the song us way underrated
I don't dislike "Thriller," but I always kind of felt it existed mostly to soundtrack the video.

i guess it's appropriate that "love tko" placed this close to "love wars" since they're both womack & womack tunes but still TOO LOW

I'm fairly pleased by the results so far, especially the modest placements of tunes that weren't R&B as I knew it (white suburban teen listening to a "black music" radio station in the wee hours). Six voters ranking "Ghostbusters" as their 64th favorite R&B tune of the 80s (on average), however, calls for reeducation camps.

I voted for "Let's Go All the Way". I always loved it. Saw the video for the first time today, they look as goofy as I imagined.
Also voted for it, also loved it, had only seen them once before (on Top of the Pops about 30 years ago), also saw the video for the first time at the weekend....they looked *much* goofier than I imagined
― Warren's Treat (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Tuesday, 9 May 2017 07:36 (seven years ago) link
i know nothing about imagination and "changes" is quite something. will def be looking out for more of them.
i do find "thriller" the song underrated myself. i mostly experienced it separately from the video as a young'n and upon finally seeing the video didn't really understand what all the fuss was about (other than that it obviously cost a lot).
i do not consider "ghostbusters" good by any measure. i mean it was cute to see it pop up in the noms but that's about it.
― dyl, Tuesday, 9 May 2017 07:40 (seven years ago) link
please feel free to throw rotten veggies at me for saying this but i do hope the results are not too overrun by dubious fits recorded by white appreciator-appropriators
like it's good/cool to acknowledge that a lot of music in supposedly different formats of the commercial sector basically were indistinguishable from what r&b's innovators were producing. but to reward it over the people who basically had little choice but to innovate in order to be competitive in the marketplace? :\

"Somebody Else's Guy" is another one I would've expected to place in the top 40! Such a good tune with great lyrics, inspired performance by Brown, awesome sonics... No wonder George Michael sampled that synth riff on "Too Funky".

"Somebody Else's Guy" is great, but I've exceeded some sort of maximum listening count, so it no longer does anything for me at all.

Because Let The Music Play and Give Me Tonight are basically the same song and that song is one of the greatest dance songs ever made I had to vote for them very high and right next to each other in my ballot, glad this one made it too
