I did a search and haven't seen this poll before, so excuse me if I just didn't find it. ---- Recently I have really fallen in love with Stevie Wonder's Music. I downloaded one of his greatest hits collections on Napster and have been listening to it almost non-stop. My favorites are: Signed, Sealed, Delivered Sir Duke Uptight Superstition My Cherie Amour Overjoyed Anyways, I'm sure I will leave out a lot of his best songs on this poll, but what is your favorite song? What are some of your other favorites?
Some of the best songs he co wrote: Tears of a clown - Miracles It's a shame - The Spinners Best Album : Innervisions Songs in the key of life (Tie)
NW likes Superstition and I Wish. Higher Ground has also got the funk I am looking for [Edit; fixed brain lock]
you have to include Talking Book to complete the trilogy. Everything after those was pretty much trash in my opinion.
Master Blaster Loving Little Stevie was one of the only ways to survive as a white kid growing up in the inner city of Washington DC in the early 70s. Having "high tops" on the court was another.
So, guys, honestly...I am more the type of a "Greatest Hits" type of guy--but would it be worth it to really explore some of his albums? Are the fairly accessible on the first listen? I guess I can probably grab most of them off of Napster, but just wanted your opinion. Where should I start?
Sir Duke by a nose over Higher Ground and Superstition. (it reminds me of Astroworld) What about Stay Gold, and Ebony and Ivory?
As been mentioned... Try Innervisions and Songs in the key of life. If you can't get into Stevie Wonder from those two records..well...it wasn't meant to be. But I don't think you'll have a problem.
His greatest hits Volume I and II are both great (contain most of his 60's hits) Innervisions Songs in the key of life Talking book is not bad, but compared to the rest of his 70's stuff I would not include it. Just my opinion. My mom was a huge SW fan and played him all the time when I was a kid and I still listen to him on a regular basis. I think the first four albums mentioned above are a must have. Talking book, ehh, if you are real die hard.
