still letting the music use me
“Forever In My Life” 🤓
November 15, 2025 at 5:05 PM
oops I thought I had linked the below here bsky.app/profile/lokp...
A-SIDES: my nrs 4, 8, 11 and 16.

(7 POINTS: Grandmaster Flash & Furious Five ft. Melle Mel & Duke Bootee • The Message
3 POINTS: Patrice Rushen • Forget Me Nots)

two juggernauts/behemoths, in either stature (“The Message”) or ambition (JBGTM), two that paint with a lighter brush (Rushen and Sade)

I had a feeling this comment of Tom’s would trigger you :-)

(I will admit to never quite (bothering to) understand(ing) the full inticracies of the PPPolling universe, so don’t mind me really)
November 15, 2025 at 3:14 PM
wasn’t there another previously high-finishing song in this poll tho?
November 15, 2025 at 3:12 PM
ah okay, I somehow felt it had never gotten its full due (which is probably true, because did we crown it Best Song Of All Time? didn’t think so)

anyway, thanx guys! just trying to calibrate my Shannon evaluation here

for research purposes only 😇

did “Let The Music Play” ever make it to PPPolhalla?

was considering that too, but I intend to stick to my ranking (haven’t officially cast my vote yet, so……)
November 14, 2025 at 10:50 PM
such a magical track

3-step/3step would be the most appropriate descriptor
November 14, 2025 at 10:47 PM
“Forget Me Nots”🥈is pure, utter delight and I’d be delighted if it wins, but I’m voting “The Message”. it’s a behemoth, written in stone, but it’s never gone stale, it feels alive, urgent, fresh, popping, coz the beat and that percussion-heavy backing track are incredible (as is the rapping, duh)🥇

“Smooth Operator” = weakest link here. I found myself running hot & cold on “Just Be Good To Me”. one session it bores me, the next, like just now, the no-stops-left-unpulled psychodrama hits like it intends to. was hearing the la-la-la parts as fingers-in-ears I-can’t-hear-you, that was a first.🥉
November 14, 2025 at 10:34 PM
yes, that’s a wonderfully diverse foursome! plus here as well, two of my picks still in it!
November 14, 2025 at 6:18 PM
my B-side number 7, making it my highest placed J&L jam

4 POINTS: Change • Change Of Heart
November 14, 2025 at 6:17 PM
wonderful track, got nothing else (to mention)
November 14, 2025 at 6:13 PM
this one’s success surprised me, it’s a fine jam, but as available Dancefloor fillers go I’d pick (and did pick) the Bar-Kays banger every time
November 14, 2025 at 6:10 PM
a fitting result, because let’s be real, we all know what the figure 8 stands for: those lovely lady lumps!
November 14, 2025 at 6:03 PM
so a top 8 without surprises but a top 4 full of ‘em - with “The Message” the only expected one, the other three
I would have put money on being in the bottom 4.

also: both my remaining picks are still in it!
November 14, 2025 at 5:41 PM
without having really given thought to who ~are~ left, I also don’t mind this one finishing outside of the top 4 too much. don’t ask, my relationship with Prince is somewhat knotty. great song tho!
November 14, 2025 at 5:21 PM
no surprise here! a much beloved song in music n*rd circles. came very, very close to my ballot.
