Top 50 Stevie Wonder Songs (list finished!)

Post by StevieFan13 »

I share a birthday with our next featured artist, quite possibly the most innovative musician of all time:
Image
By peoples' request, a song's placement will be based more on rank than on how many lists it's featured in, so I'm scoring it something like this:
1-5 range: 50 points
6-10 range: 40 points
11-15 range: 30 points
16-20 range: 20 points
21-25 range: 10 points

As per use, the maximum number of songs you can submit is 25. Submit 10-25 and the results'll be up by Friday. Happy voting!

If I had more time, I'd come up with another fifteen. I usually only do 10 anyway.

But they are eligible? StevieFan didn't resrict eligibility.

Edit: Perhaps the confusion is in the list posted in OP, which is just a list of what has got points so far.

Not sure I'll do it... I have a lot of relistening to do because it's been a very very long time since I've listened to Stevie last. I'm not sure a few hours will do. Sorry for that! :?

Then I hope you've got a cache of ABBA favorites for next week. Or Damon Albarn. Hard to tell at this point.

Doesn't look like we're getting anything new, so here's the list, in playlist form!



Unsurprisingly, "Superstition" won the day by a fairly strong margin, which makes sense, since it's the greatest song of all time. I didn't check how many songs from it featured on the list, but I'm fairly positive that Songs in the Key of Life had the most songs on the list. Thanks for voting, and be sure to vote for a tiebreaker in the poll for the next list!
