Only two comments:
- Songs' bracket 4 was killer, both songs are on my Top 100 of all time. Chic had really bad luck.
- Hope Curtis Mayfield could still move on up...

First 3 votes might make it seem like I like recent music much more than oldies. That'd be true for a rock poll, but in that specific case it's more of a coincidence.

I'm not a great fan of Baduizm, but have enjoyed Otherside of the game, Rimshot (intro), and especially On & On.

I would appreciate it if one of the folks who voted for Baduizm would describe other songs on the album for which I should prioritize another listen.
