Well, thanks everybody for nominating so many great songs and making this such an ejoyable experience. I'll post back here whenever I'm ready to start a new poll.
― ArchCarrier, Friday, 14 April 2017 21:30 (seven years ago) link
The 80's are a chance to talk about things like Shalamar, DeBarge, Stephanie Mills, Alexander O'Neal, Gap Band, Luther, Babyface, Rick James, Lionel, Teddy Riley and miss Jackson above all.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply before that the 80s were all MJ and Prince, just that I was worried that the others might get significantly crowded out in such a poll.

Wow, only one song got more than one #1 vote, and it finished outside the top 25.
I'd love to see the top 200 broken down by year.

Absolutely Epic poll ArchCarrier. I like the 50 per day.
I'll post my ballot later but one thing I can say: more people need to listen to Get Up Get Into It Get Involved by James Brown and In Time by Sly.

Wow, I love Freda Payne and Band of Gold too, but I had no reason to believe it would come in at no 6.

I've done a year-by-year breakdown for the Top 100:
1970 151971 151972 191973 141974 81975 61976 41977 51978 51979 9
That makes 71 for the first half of the decade, and 29 for the second half.

Thanks, ArchCarrier. This was fun. As mentioned on one of the other threads, I was mega-busy during the nominations and voting period so my ballot was thrown together at the last minute with tons of write-ins… and even then I completely forgot MJ's "Ain't No Sunshine" and The Commodores' "Sail On", two of my all-time favourite singles. These should have been in my top 3.
Here's my ballot (largely disco-free given we'd already done that poll).

^oh yeah, and I had a one-artist rule, with exceptions made for The Stylistics, The Chi-Lites, The O'Jays and the Undisputed Truth

Pretty much the inverse on my ballot.

One more vote for the 80s next. A 60s poll would have far fewer opportunities for reappraisals and rediscoveries.

Great poll, thanks ArchCarrier! Surprises all the way through.
Here's my ballot, only the top 25 is ranked. Didn't limit by artist but I did avoid voting for disco giving that most of my favourites made the disco poll and it allowed me to bump a few things I thought might need the extra points:
Marvin Gaye - Inner City BluesSpinners - I'll Be AroundCymande - BraO'Jays - Now That We Found LoveSly & The Family Stone - Runnin' AwayDiana Ross & Marvin Gaye - Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)David Bowie - Golden YearsSyreeta - Spinnin' and Spinnin'Stylistics - People Make the World Go RoundCymande - The MessageStevie Wonder - Creepin'Sly & The Family Stone - Family AffairRaydio - You Can't Change ThatStevie Wonder - He's Misstra Know-It-AllAl Green - I'm Still in Love With YouIsley Brothers - That LadyJames Brown - King HeroinAl Green - You Ought to Be With MeDionne Warwick - You're Gonna Need MeBetty Wright - I Love the Way You LoveCurtis Mayfield - Move on UpFern Kinney - Baby Let Me Kiss YouFrankie Valli & The Four Seasons - The NightAllen Toussaint - Southern NightsFour Tops - Still Water (Love)

OK, I'm cool with an 80s poll. But how to define the boundaries? Is Italo allowed? Who can come up with a good definition?
Also, for this poll we had 1 week nominating, 2 weeks voting/campaigning, 1 week rollout. Was this OK for all of you?
― ArchCarrier, Saturday, 15 April 2017 18:53 (seven years ago) link
Maybe do it as an 80s R&B poll? There was an Italo poll not so long ago.
― mike t-diva, Saturday, 15 April 2017 19:07 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, just call it R&B and let anyone nominate anything. The timetable seems ok to me.

Think an 80s poll would be great, guess I sort of grew up with lots of 80s R&B, but rarely hear about any of it beside Prince, Michael Jackson and a few hits like I Feel For You. Would be really good to have something to dig into from the mid 80s which often seems like a bit of a desert.
mike t-diva, do you have a list of each track with its year? I want to start filing these track poll winners for a thing.
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Sunday, 16 April 2017 14:44 (seven years ago) link
I only did the top 100 - here it is - but you can easily get the other dates by pasting the tracks into the Discogs search box, and digging into what comes up; it seldom takes long.
