Late but Payback would’ve been my #1.

Your final 2. (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural WomanKilling Me Softly With His SongTale of the Tape:This was the top 2 for 14 consecutive movements. Both songs spent time at #1. These songs have a combined 28 top 10s, 22 being top 5s and 6 being #1s. 4 bottom 10s remain. Trilogy and tim are the only 2 players with a fully intact top 2. Two players have no top 15s left--coincidentally, they were the last two lists. The difference between #3 and #2 is 22 points. Meanwhile, the difference between #2 and #1 is only 1 point.

"Nothing But a Heartache" was a great discovery for me in this game.
"Payback" is obviously a classic and sampled a ton, but are a lot of y'all really sitting around listening to the track in full?

{TOP TALL}#10: I thought this would be, at the very least, top five. #9: I'm not surprised this has the highest SD at all. We are blessed to have this long banger. #8: My biggest regret in this rankdown, in that I should have ranked it higher. Probably my favorite Sade song, in fact. #7: I can't think about this song and not think about The Warriors. #6: Super surprised this was in the top ten, but I'm so glad Gil got there. #5: The way this song builds, my god. It practically explodes when it reaches the climax.
Well, this top ten literally could not have gone worse for me lol
#4: Timeless classic. Not one of my personal favorites from Ray, but who would I be to deny this song? #3: Like with Ray, not one of my personal favorite Spinners songs, but that chorus is special. #2: I have no idea how we haven't ranked this song a million times. There's "Respect", and then there's this. #1: "Well, this top ten literally could not have gone worse for me lol" Maybe I should have waited until this point to say this. The funny thing is that, if you had included "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", it would have been in my top ten or close to it. This, to me, is the rare case where a cover is better than the original. This has a timeless quality to it, but the Fugees version just speaks to me more. Well, I can't do worse next time, so I'm looking forward to the next one, singingrulebritannia.

"Payback" is obviously a classic and sampled a ton, but are a lot of y'all really sitting around listening to the track in full? Of course I am! After all, if you don't listen to the whole song, you don't hear the "LORD I NEED THOSE HITS, CARRY ON" part followed by some of Brown's best screams + the really cool A Day In The Life-esque tense string segue at the very end.

Thanks for a great rankdown singingrulebritannia! A couple really great finds with Sharon Jones and Terry Callier specifically. Agree with Red that the Fugees version tops Roberta's. Though I do love Roberta's version, I think she shines brightest on the First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.

Thank you singingrulebritanniaThoroughly enjoyed this group of songs - my definite find that I was not familiar with was the Gil Scott-Heron song. Holy crap that is powerful. Thanks again!
