What's scary about "Innversisions" is that Steve was only 23 at the time he did that...
-production
-instrumentation
-lyrics
ALL HIM! What are today's artists doing in their early 20s....
BTW...
Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fullfillingness' First Finale, and Songs In The Key Of Life > any stretch of albums made by anybody, period.
And if you was TRILL, you'da through "Where I'm Coming From" on the list....
He had the 70s ON LOCK....and dam if white people loved it cuz it ain't like he didn't get love in the 'hood too.

Where I'm Coming From has its moments, but overall it just doesn't measure up to any of the next five. After my first couple of listens toit, I was wondering why people didn't put it in the same class. I listened to it again after a couple days, and it just didn't have that"umph" in it. It wasn't of the same quality, didn't flow well, and he wasn't challenging my ears with his melodies. It's prettyboring too.

This is another thing that depends on my mood.
I have Songs in the Key of Life on vinyl in my closet, and may just pull it out a little bit later. An amazingeffort, all around.
But my pick has to go to John Coltrane's A Love Supreme. When I was younger I thought his arrangements on theproject were meandering and haphazard, but this may just be one of most seminal musical achievements in the history of recorded sound.
Edit: And as I've gotten older, I don't agree with people choosing Sgt. Pepper as the greatest album evermade. It's not even the Beatles' best album period.

While, yes, it doesn't measure up...you can't leave it out cuz that was his first TRUE solo effort.....it is the line of succession. Youhave to add it to the list for that reason alone. Yes, he did experiment more but he had some #$@% on there was was cold. I mean, the opening song[color= rgb(102, 102, 102)]"Look Around"[/color] was just as dark as "They Won't Go When I Go"...and yet the latter was done, what? 4-5years later? Had that ominous tone to it but the message is cold...... [color= rgb(102, 102, 102)]"Think of me as your soldier"[/color] could have easily fit on Talking Book and Ihonestly think it is one of his BEST love songs/ballads. The melody is monotone and simple...almost as if it's like "look....my love is steady andeasy; I'm your man and you my girl; I ain't gotta sing all high and do crazy runs for you to feel this" [color= rgb(102, 102, 102)]Sunshine in Their Eyes[/color] started the whole two songs in one movement that wascapitalized in Superwoman. Hell....3 songs in one actually. I also think that song could've easily fit on Fulfillingness first finale...maybe even songsin the key of life. It has the political message intertwined with the love message that Steve went IN on in his later 70s works....plus the melody was onpoint and let's not get started on the last couple of minutes of it. It also bears a striking similarity to "[color= rgb(102, 102, 102)]Heaven help us All[/color]" with the choir and uptempo meoldy infused with somberlyrics.Originally Posted by CROSSISOM

And if you was TRILL, you'da threw (why nobody told me I did that) "Where I'm Coming From" on the list....

[color= rgb(102, 102, 102)]"If you Really Love Me"[/color].....he sang his BUTT off on that song. It has the fun uptempo happy go lucky Stevie that we got in the motown era, but the lyrics are more heartfelt and he is singing more in his range. [color= rgb(102, 102, 102)]"Never Dreamed You'd Leave in Summer"[/color]
That right there is 5 outta 9 that are heaters wit' music and lyrics are on point. You got to be a die hard fan to really *** wit' the other 4 on thatalbum.
[color= rgb(102, 102, 102)]It's pretty boring too.[/color]
my brain can't even process that right now

I thought everybody knew this. Personally, I think Evolver has to be the best if not top 2 beatles albums ever. Thats just me. Sgt. Pepper is goodand all, but I think its their most recognizable album out of all the other ones.
