Well, I like some of his stuff. And not just his late 80's-early 90's output. My dad has all his 70's albums, and says "why dont u like?". I just find alot of his songs beyond corny and syrapy. I dont get u guys at times. Maybe the sound is good, but his lyrics at times though

Oh well. He can be funky I know that, but then he goes too corny.

Wait a minute.....you find Stevie Wonder corny and syrapy (sic)????!!!

There is delicious irony there - check out your fucking musical catalogue! I thought you thrived on the most corny and syrapy (sic) shit imaginable.

blasphemy

Donny Osmond fans say the wackiest fucking shit

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you just lost all credibility.

Yeah, I know. Any sane person would rather have 60's/70's Stevie over that shit.

GrayKing said:

I just like his 2 80's albums They were all producer made, so get off me back


Its odd. But stevie can be so corny. U can must be able to see this. And I do not just mean "i just called to say i love u" either. Iam just saying dude is corny at times. Very corny

i'll go out on a limb here and agree. i mean, what the hey - it's only opinion, right?

i feel about stevie the way a lot of my non-prince-freak fans feel about prince: i think he's amazingly talented and brilliant - most likely a bona fide genius - but i really only like some of the hits, and after a certain point in his back catalog, i'm not really interested in what he's released.

i really would like to get some of his legendary '70s albums and really give them a good listen someday - until then, i'm happy with my copy of 'original musiquarium'.

VoicesCarry said:

my dad has them. He plays them quite alot at the mo

He's a genius and all, but ? Not everyone can get off on the same thing now.

I guess the whole org love him then

Anxiety said:

That's why you're agreeing - one listen will change your mind.

VoicesCarry said:

to a certain extent, maybe. my mom had a copy of 'in square circle' when i was a teenager, and that album was to me.

Anxiety said:

-Innverisions
-Songs In The Key Of Life
-Talking Book
-Music Of My Mind
-Fullfingness' First Finale

REQUIRED

In Square Circle was an '85 album - fuck that shit.

VoicesCarry said:

hey voices, any 5 star albums u don't like?

thesexofit said:

Yup! Those aren't even all 5-star records, IMHO, but they are seamless listens. Also - ever heard of a band called Nirvana?

Any one-star records you don't like?

VoicesCarry said:

Nope. Oh yeah, I still cannot get into rick astley. But u can if i remember


my brother now says I only like shit because no one else did. He may have a point there. Even though it cannot realy make sense. It just seems that way. Media poo poo anything that is now consider "dated". Unfortunately, I like the digital sounding stuff that grew dated quickly

thesexofit said:

There is really no accounting for taste but what are the two eighties albums by him you like. I recently bought "Characters" (which is cheesy but has a few notable tracks) and "Hotter Than July" (which is pretty good, overall) but he has made more than those two albums in the eighties.

thesexofit said:

Yeah, if liking 1 song constitutes "getting into" Rick Astley.

VinnyM27 said:

Hotter Than July is quite good.

VoicesCarry said:

i'm guessing you're talking about that OTHER band called nirvana...

VoicesCarry said:

One spin of any of these albums can turn a bad day into a really great one for me. All I had to do was listen to Innervisions once all the way through to be converted.

Anxiety said:

That's another thread

VoicesCarry said:

i guess it's a bit like judging 'station to station' and 'low' by saying 'never let me down' sucked.

VoicesCarry said:

Courtney's gonna get you.

This is utter insanity.

GangstaFam said:

Best. Courtney. Pic. Ever.

To be fair, I think we've all had high-profile, universally loved artists that we just don't "get". It's tough and a bit awkward, especially when you have a lot of musical friends or belong to a musical community like this one, cuz you wonder what's wrong with you or what it is you're missing. Stevie isn't one of those artists for me, but I definitely have some.

VoicesCarry said:

I'd watch my ass if I were you.

thesexofit said:

Not as much as we love you!
