Been a fan since I was a wee lad, and I don't see that changing any time soon. Anyway, Songs is probably the best double album ever. Its one of those albums that's good because its chock full of amazing songs, and that's all it needs. Innervisions is a brilliant album in itself, and his second best. Does anyone else think that FFF is better than Talking Book? Talking Book is good, but I always thought FFF was more consistent.

Talking Book is my least favorite album from the classic 5, so there you go

I used to feel that way, but one day all the deep tracks on Talking Book started to make sense, and now I'd say it's probably better, though not as good as Songs or Innervisions.

certainly hasnt hit me yet. I had the similar experience with Music though, hence its tied for my 2nd fave in the series.

yousha, what of the fact that there's not a single thing on "music of my mind" (or "sitkol", for that matter) that is anywhere as good as "blame it on the sun"... or "looking for another pure love"...?

then i guess facts no longer hold their true definition. Simply cause Superwoman is my favorite Wonder song, along with Living for the City, and its better than anything on any Stevie album(and definitely Talking Book).

btw, Talking Book still gets a perfect score as far as albums go, the fact that its my least favorite doesnt mean its not one of my favorite albums.

haha... well... in science, a "fact" is merely a statement based on observation... and, being a scientist, i'm allowed to call my opinions facts :mrgreen:

i agree. it's got one good side and the other's pretty ropey actually, IMO.

"Visions" and "Another Star" are so amazing.

how can someone make such an awesome song about breaking up??? how???? it's as if someone challenged stevie to write the most uplifting and easy-going yet substabtial song about the subject, and stevie, being omnipotent at the time, delivered...

i wish it was as easy in real life...

ps: hello from the western hemisphere, jonny boy!!
