"Let's Go All The Way" is one that, as I was nominated it, I paused for a sec to consider whether or not it was properly R&B. I'm glad that four others appeared to agree.
I didn't nom "The Breaks," but it seemed legit enough (even though we discussed early on that we weren't doing rap) that I voted for it.

Voted for both of them. The Tracie Spencer because of the campaigning thread, Princess is the best thing SAW ever did, just ahead of Mandy Smith's I Just Can't Wait and Mel & Kim's Respectable

Yeah, I also thought "Beat The Street" would be much higher. Such a key track at the time.

'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.
