That said, I would not start here to learn about Stevie's genius. Start with what is in my opinion his best album: Innervisions. Better yet, pick up his brilliant box set At The Close Of A Century. Eight of the nine tracks on Innervisions made the box set, as well as nine tracks from Songs In The Key Of Life.

I completely agree. I'd get "Innervisions" and "Talking Book" first, then "Songs in the Key of Life", and finally the 4-disc box set. This should be enough ammunition to convince anyone that he's one of the most important artists of the 20th Century.

The 4-CD box set is cool,but I was disappointed that it didn't contain any outtakes,alternate takes,live versions and other rare goodies.It's obvious that it was compiled with very little assistance from Stevie himself.But,yes it's a great introduction to the music of Stevie Wonder.

'Innervisions' is my favorite Stevie album too,but his 70s output was so impressive that it's almost pointless to compare those albums to each other...lol...
