Thanks. I think there's a few there, are there a few that you'd recommend to start with?

I have, but only a few times. I'm completely unsure about it, but will buy it when it comes out on CD anyway. Your thoughts/experience with it? Edit: although now having read through to the end of your post, I just can't get beyond the quality of what Stevie Wonder produced in a short time...

Ha, I was thinking that when I typed it, and the answer really does get at the heart of the quality versus subjectivity debate with music. As with most binaries, I think you have to work a way through them, rather than attach yourself to one or the other. So, in terms of music, it's obvious that...

Yes, those 2 would definitely be in my list too, and I'm not in a position to decree whether much of that list is pony but, for me, I suspect you'd be right. I have limited knowledge of albums' year of release, but would add that Music of My Mind was also released in 72, and I suspect it doesn't...

You never sound pretentious, although I do sometimes :smile: Agree with that, and that kind of indefinable 'soul' is doing precisely a lot of work. The technological advances I was referring to don't necessarily improve the music (although they can do or, more accurately, enable music to be...

Yes, fully with you there. Think HWT and I are coming closer too. I'm still somewhat resistant to the notion of progress in anything and the linear trajectories it assumes (a conservative like you might agree with that too), but with music simply because of technology and the fact that there's...

There's something in that. Not entirely convinced by your memory trumping or being memory idea, but that's not to deny the importance of memory to music (or other occasions, eg meals, even football matches).

I had a similar exchange with HWT on music. He said that music constantly improves, I disagreed. You both are saying that it stays that there's similar quality year-in, year-out, and I disagree with that too. For me, it goes through bursts of creativity. I think the 68-74 so 72 is in there for...

It's a rather good one too (I have a double CD also featuring Spotlight Kid). Turn it down!
