WTF I was the only voter for "You Met Your Match." Happy to see 2 other people voted for "All Day Sucker."

xp Aw, Gary Byrd's Are You Ready for Black Power? is great.
I thought Fingertips would be Top 10, easy. So much joy in that record.

I'd vote "Heaven is 10 Zillion Light Years Away" #1 if we redid this. really I'd vote Stevie's drum playing #1, so into that today. do we have a thread just for Wonder as a drummer?

Talking Book is the one album in the whole classic run that just doesn't connect with me on the same level as the rest.

I garbled that sentence. I was trying to say that two of the new songs were best-ever cuts.
Ah, got it. Yes, "Front Line" is neither fantastic nor a classic.
