When "Wonder Woman" went into syndication on my local channel around 1983, "She's a Bad Mama Jama" was the bumper music.

A Lover's Holiday is a good start to today's results. The Glow Of Love is a perfect album. Six songs with nothing below a 10/10.

"Make Me a Memory (Sad Samba)" sounds like a song I ought to know way more intimately that I currently do.

I love "Lover's Holiday" a little less than some of y'all but this is a 5-for-5 top 100 so far.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Monday, 15 May 2017 14:11 (six years ago) link
I'm three for five among the top 100 thus far. This might be the rare poll where my votes align with the consensus.

You guys have been waiting so long for me to finish; should I do a 2-day rollout to get it over with, or spread it out over 4 or 5 days?
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 15 May 2017 14:45 (six years ago) link
I think 4 days of 25 sounds about right.

Huh @ 'How Will I Know'. This poll helped me realize that I'm not crazy about any of the big Whitney singles with the exception of 'Greatest Love of All'. Maybe I voted for that? Can't remember. But I think the Whitney track I definitely voted for is a lost cause at this point, sadly.

Differing opinions of what constitutes R&B is a big reason why the rollout needed to be 250 songs long.

this stretch of the results has really been excellent tho :D

I could only bring myself to make space for one TTD track ('Sign Your Name') but all of his nominated songs were worthy of inclusion among this pantheon imo.
