"Dare Me" is the Pointer's best '80s single after "Automatic." Fact.

I regret not voting for "Between The Sheets". As deserving a sex-anthem as "Sexual Healing".

I'm shocked that 'Centipede' actually made it! And so high! There may be a video of seven-year-old me doing an amazing improvised dance routine to the song, because I had amazing taste even then.

Fighting words:
Rescue Me, by A Taste of Honey is a better tune than That's the Joint, by Funky 4 + 1, from which it samples.

Well, I voted for both. Ultimately it comes down to Doug Wimbush>Janice Marie Johnson. The Sugarhill house band played it better. It's a more exciting record.

This last section has wiped out a load of my ballot. Dare Me was in my top 5, I get an adrenaline rush every time I listen to it. Voted Between The Sheets too but mainly for the second half where it gets all ominous. The Soul Clap re edit a few years ago that dragged that section right out was pure fire

By the way, I won't be able to post any results from tomorrow until Sunday because of a small trip abroad, so I'm going to finish today at #101 and resume Monday.

Controversy: 'Sign O' the Times' is way too high. Shouldn't be here at all, imo. Easily my least favorite prime era Prince single.

Favourite find so far: Imagination - ChangesToo low: Rhythm Nation. Not a just a big production number, but a way of lifeSurprise: Beat It at #174. Nobody else surprised by this? Guess everyone voted for Billie Jean instead. I know I did.Digression: Nina Simone's cover version of Sign O' The Times is really worth a listen, but doesn't fit here as was recorded in the 90s.

I don't like Nina Simone's vocal delivery in 'Sign o' the Times', but I let out a chuckle at "We'll call him Nate if it's a boy / We'll call her Nina when it's a girl".
