Songs. No question. Rarely does the student outmaster the master.
The ORG - the only place where you can be called a wigger, a racist and a Nazi and be banned for defending yourself. It's so hard being white nowadays...

Proud to be a NONA GAYE fan!

Sign O' The Times


eek , wow I wouldn't expect you to pick Sign O' The Times

Aaanyway, I gotta go with Songs. Songs is stronger song for song, at least as, if not more varied and stevie uses a the big band/tons of guest musicians approach and the one-man-band mode to equal effectiveness. SOTT is darker and edgier, but Songs just has SO much purely distilled awesomeness and positivity without having a compromised emotional range. I think it's possibly the greatest, or at least song for song the strongest, double album of all time, rivalled only by Exile On Main Street (which is almost TOO consistent) The White Album (which is nowhere near as tight song for song) and London Calling (which isn't quite as varied and doesn't have anywhere near the melodicism, and not quite the same harnomic, rhythmic and arranging sophistication)

Please. Songs in the Key of Life. I love Prince but he can't touch Stevie on that.



I agree.'Songs' is one of those albums that NOBODY can top.I think that when Prince made 'Emancipation',he was heavily influenced by 'SITKOL'.

If you know me, you know how I feel about SITKOL.
