There isn't a single Culture Club song I would consider to be R&B.
As I mentioned in the voting thread, I only just realized while preparing for this poll that 'Church of the Poison Mind' sounds an awful lot like something the Miracles could've recorded.

Not a fan of that culture club song regardless of genre but really

Imagination are maybe my favourite band of the 80s, still hoping for one more in particular but not confident

There are just some artists when you see them on a list of nominations you just know they're going to show up and ludicrously high at that.

incredible song

Positive that #1 was mine. Glad I could do what I could do to push it as high as it got, being a non-single and all.

Will go to my grave believing this to be Prince's finest moment.
I remember coming to the Purple Rain soundtrack as someone who had played Controversy and 1999 on repeat, getting to "The Beautiful Ones" and going "OH WAIT HOLD UP WHAT" and then replaying the song 5 times in a row (this was on an LP)

It's interesting that there were so many Prince songs nominated yet somehow When You Were Mine missed out. It won the Prince poll a few years ago. If I'd more time to get involved in the nominations process, I would have mentioned it.

Get an '80s new wave poll together.

Sure to have about 40% overlap...

becoming aware of imagination for the first time is my main discovery from this poll and i'm really glad about it
Just looked back on my rushed ballot and didn't give nearly enough love for imagination. Just body talk way down near the bottom. Sorry people.

Voted for lots of Prince but this was the highest of his in my ballot. My no3

The only Wondersong I included too.
"Time (Clock of the Heart)" sounds R&B to me (I voted for it). As Kevin Bozelka once said, it's the best song ever written about being in love with a straight man.
