The Legendary Stevie Wonder Appreciation Thread

[Mr Rager]

This Robin Williams thing had me thinking about this. Stevie is obviously legendary. This is a fact. He's one of my personal top 3 GOATs and he has had a MAJOR influence on the kinds of music I listen to. He's also getting up there in age. So when he finally goes () it's going to personally upset me to see a bunch of instagram thots talking about how they've loved his music their entire lives

So let's celebrate his genius while he is still with us
Post your favorite Stevie tracks and tell us why you love them!



One of his less popular songs, but it's one of my favorites. One of the things that Stevie does better than anyone is changing key in the middle of a song and sometimes even in the middle of a verse and somehow it just always works.



Jesus.
Those strings....
This is an amazing song. Melodically, it's just plain beautiful. Lyrically, it's fukking gorgeous.
I love zoning out to this and thinking about that bish I want to spit to...

This just straight jams. I feel like this song was ahead of its time.

This album is really obscure. Not a lot of people mention it. It didn't sell very well. It didn't get great reviews when it first came out. But I listened to this a couple of years ago and it blew my fukking mind. It's a concept album that was a soundtrack to a documentary and every song is about nature and plants and such. It's just a different sound and its creativity epitomized...and done in a way that only stevie can do. The last song of the album he takes all of the songs and blends them into one...





The album may not sit well with you if you're not willing to give it a try and listen to something outside of the box. But if you do, wow. You'll see what a genius the man really is.

But like I said the album get's weird at times....like this for example:
