I think they should stick to the Classic Soul era of 60s/70s for the genre in the Classics track. 80s R&B is a whole other thing and a whole other can of worms IMO. Same with jazz, gospel, and blues.
Might just be a generational gap with some folks but I think 80s r&b is "old music" by quite a bit, having come out before I was born, which is one qualifier for "classic" in my book. The other is just fulfilled by how important some 80s r&b was to music at large, and it largely built off of funk and soul. I can see it being a bridge too far I guess.
