Since Optimal Saint hasn't done one, here's mine.
So name the ONE song you can't stand from the Wonder Man.
And...GO!

Hey love
Don’t really have a reason
Just don’t like it
"You Are the Sunshine of My Life" and "Isn't She Lovely" are too MOR for me.
I Just Called To Say I Love You
I just called to say i love you is awful when compared to other songs in Stevies catalogue
I expect this to end up the top vote getter
It definitely pales next to his greatest work and if someone else sang it I don’t know how many people would say “that sounds like a Stevie wonder song”
I always thought it had a schmaltzy lounge feel to it
All that to say I don’t hate it but I see why people don’t like it
Overjoyed.
For some reason, I couldn't stand his version of Drown In My Own Tears. Motown was really trying to sell him as the little Ray Charles...
Ebony And Ivory and That's What Friends Are For.
I might have to agree about Ebony and Ivory. Also I never cared for Fingertips but can cut him some slack since he was so young.
Ebony and Ivory
You Met Your Match
I think IJCTSILY is great!
Probably "Nothing's Too Good for My Baby". Oh how I hate that song. I also hate "I Just Called to Say I Love You", but I can listen to that over "Nothing's Too Good".
Least fav album? Secret Life of Plants. I'm not grown enough to appreciate that one.
Probably any of the early instrumental jazz cuts. Not a fan of the Plants album either but I don't really count any of the tracks on there as "songs"
"I Just Called..." full stop. I was 13 when it was released; thought it was dreck then and now.
BOOGIE ON REGGAE WOMAN, what sounded innovative then , now sounds like noise to me. Is the "stoned" quality in his voice intentional? For some reason even the harmonica [[overused) hurts my ears. Good piano though.
I Just Called to Say I Love You is my least favorite Stevie song. It’s formula is just too simple for me. And the ending? Can’t stand it.
