Another vinyl uncovered from the in-laws basement. I couldn't find a cover image of this one online, so you'll have to trust that I didn't just make this one up for my own amusement.

knee jerk vote for sheila e but i feel good about it. this also has my all time most hated song on it (walking on fucking sunshine) so my emotions abt this record are conflicted.

It's "Manic Monday" vs. "Voices Carry" for me, but I like a surprising number of these songs--didn't even remember the Heart track til it played.

i would have figured the answer is always invincible but this is rough.

'Sweetest Taboo' just over 'Manic Monday'.

Most of these are pretty good. Voted Chaka over the Bangles. But also like Janet, Katrina, Sade, Til Tuesday, Pointers.

I love how it includes a Belinda single that flopped.

Runners-up:

Sweetest Taboo
I Feel For You
Invincible (close to my favorite Benatar single)
What Have You Done For Me Lately
Walking on Sunshine

but I'm voting for "Swept Away," Ross' best eighties single and her last good one. Daryl Hall and Arthur Baker make her sound batshit-insane.

― first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 9 August 2013 00:30 (twelve years ago)

Sade easily.

^^This.

chaka khan!

― staind in the place where you live (crüt), Friday, 9 August 2013 01:51 (twelve years ago)

def "sweetest taboo", janet would be second for me.

― monotony, Friday, 9 August 2013 02:15 (twelve years ago)

chaka khan over sheila e., sade over janet for third

― balls, Friday, 9 August 2013 02:17 (twelve years ago)

Heheheh. Luba.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Jenny sings Lenny, also.

― banjoboy, Saturday, 17 August 2013 00:36 (twelve years ago)

Not my favorites from Heart and Aretha and I don't think I've heard that Belinda Carlisle song, but the rest is great. It's between Sheila and Chaka for me.
