'Symptoms of True Love' was #4 on my ballot. It's a tragedy that it placed so low, but if its appearance here elevates the profile of that gargantuan track, I'll take it.
Also voted for 'The Breaks'. Feel like Sugar Hill joints were often more a melange of subgenres than straight-up rap.

'BABY BE MINE' TOO LOW! But I was worried about vote splitting wrt that album so I'm glad it's here at all (we probably should've just collectively agreed to give 'the complete '80s works of Prince' and 'the entire Thriller album except 'The Girl is Mine'' the top two spots and worked from there).

I don't dislike "Thriller," but I always kind of felt it existed mostly to soundtrack the video.

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