i'm disappointed "whip appeal" won't make it. in general i'm disappointed by how overlooked quiet storm-ish material has been.
― dyl, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:28 (six years ago) link
also terrified that there might be no new edition in the entire top 250 :(
So the top 7 will 2xChaka, 2xMichael, Patrice, Taana, and...? George Clinton? Kool & the Gang? Both of them have one very popular tune I don't think have placed yet?

Also mildly annoyed that Donna Summer only placed once, in the 200s, with a Stock Aitken Waterman production.

I'll second the rec for RAISE!

xp (Great tho that song is.)
is Whitney Houston "Saving All My Love for You" quiet storm?
― Dominique, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:30 (six years ago) link
i've heard it on quiet storm segments so i'd say yes
― dyl, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:31 (six years ago) link
For sure it is.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:31 (six years ago) link
great song too, wish i had space to vote for it

I think this is a foregone conclusion, as shocking as it may be.

i'm just gonna stop trying to guess what the top 7 are and accept that there have been shocking, devastating failures to place
― dyl, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:35 (six years ago) link
Forget Me Nots OTM
― sexualing healing (crüt), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:35 (six years ago) link
Wait, 'All Cried Out' didn't make the top 300?!? Where am I!?
― human/hutt hybrid (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:35 (six years ago) link
"forget me nots": really good but now hugely overrated? *dodges tomatoes*
sexualing healing (crüt) at 8:32 18 May 17we haven't seen Word Up yet.Ah, of course! That's the top 7 settled then. Kinda boring, but that's to expected at this point. At least they're all top tunes! In fact, the whole top 10 is nothing less than brilliant. Can't think of any other poll where that was the case.

huge bummer but i can only blame myself here, iirc "if it isn't love" was at the very bottom of my list

There's no way to overrate Forget Me Nots! The bassline and handclaps alone are among the top 3 basslines and handclaps in Western music.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:39 (six years ago) link
"Forget Me Nots" and all Patrice really = sparkling and clean and flawless
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:39 (six years ago) link
groove of "forget me nots" is unstoppable
Can honestly think of few things more refreshing than a good Patrice groove.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:40 (six years ago) link
I feel like Janet should have placed more, but I don't think anything will beat "When I Think Of You" here. I prefer "Nasty" and "Miss You Much".
And no Jody Watley :-(
― LeRooLeRoo, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:42 (six years ago) link
The biggest shockers here from my view are no Sylvester and no Maze.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:43 (six years ago) link
guessing jody got vote-split to hell. i personally had trouble deciding which of her songs to vote for
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:44 (six years ago) link
no Maze
oh shit! fuck this poll imo
As we're talking about big omissions, I'm disappointed Nona Hendryx didn't place anywhere on the list.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:44 (six years ago) link
Solo Jody Watley is fine but she's not top 300 of the decade material imo.
― human/hutt hybrid (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:45 (six years ago) link
speaking of not nearly enough shalamar placed
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:47 (six years ago) link
maze another victim of voters' tendency to overlook 'adult'/quiet stormish stuff that wasn't anita baker or sade (or "moments in love" lol)
― dyl, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:47 (six years ago) link
xxpost Contrasted with her vocals on, say, 'Second Time Around', her solo stuff sounds so...muted? Restrained? Something.
― human/hutt hybrid (Old Lunch), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:48 (six years ago) link
it is! that's part of the appeal imo
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:49 (six years ago) link
Few songs have the same effect on my favorite old folks as "Before I Let Go."
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link
i saw an entire field of ppl lose it to "before i let go" recently; i'm ashamed to admit that i *forgot* to vote for it, even though i placed "back in stride" really high in my ballot
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:58 (six years ago) link
I'm ashamed it only managed to get onto the lower unranked half of my ballot.
