Could it be I'm POLLING in love? ~~~ ILM 70s SOUL/FUNK/DISCO TRACKS POLL ~~~ RESULTS THREAD!

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.

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.

Wanna Be POLLIN' Somethin' ~~~ It's the ILM 80's R&B TRACKS POLL! ~~~

i didn't manage to vote -- 'september' and 'i'll be around' might have been slightly higher -- but listening to the list makes me wonder if this was . . . the best music

Not sure where to put this so one place will be this thread:
