Inspired by a not completely original idea that we saw somewhere else, we bought ‘1001 Albums: You Must Hear Before You Die’ and are working through it with the help of Spotify, a random number generator to choose the page and a coin toss if 2 albums on a page.

Rules: Must listen to at least 3 tracks before skipping and album is only skipped if we BOTH agree. We’ll catalogue what we listen to, what we think of it (Rubbish/Indifferent/Good/Excellent) and whether we’d listen to it again.

Simple.

372 - Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life



Year:  1976
Verdict:  Good
Comments:   Stevie Wonder seems to be a bit too prolific for his own good here.  The album as a whole is a bit disjointed, swapping between funk, prog, ballads and so on.  However, the really good songs on this album are just that - some of the funkiest funk songs ever written.  We'd probably rather listen to a Greatest Hits though.  Yes, we're philistines.
