His 80s albums are severely underrated. They're not generic pop at all, they're amazing.

Innervisions is indeed a masterpiece, but don't neglect his earlier stuff-- although perhaps too overly commercial, tracks like "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" are just timeless

v For me, "Innervisions" is his best. "Fulfillingness' First Finale", "Music of My Mind" and "Hotter Than July" are some of his other classic albums. I'd say everything he made between 1972 and 1980 is pure genius.

@Whelanmk don't expect explanations from a self proclamed "metal" lover. He probably thinks that hating on Stevie Wonder is cool,since he's a "mainstream pop artist". He probably never heard of soul and funk. Or real rnb.
