Stevie Wonder put out something this year? Anyone listen to it?

Its has Kaiser Chiefs on it and is, therefore, utterly worthless.

Because an end of year list is like a white shirt. One stain on it and the whole things ruined.

I've been meaning to ask around. I've read some very positive things about it, but from most accounts the good parts are more an escape from the trite or bad rather so much as a return towards his more accomplished works. Even some of the best reviews are reserved for headlines, and the copy doesn't turn out to be as glowing.

<==== 0 for 50

But seriously though, this is probably more respectable than I figured a Rolling Stone year end would be. Very surprised at the Willowz on there.

I heard the "What The Fuss" single this spring and it might the stupidest song ever recorded.

Talk about someone catching a terminal case of the suck.

Good to see this ...

...high on the list.

I guess I can't expect much more than this from Rolling Stone, but this list isn't that good.

Not according to Oprah! At least Stevie was cool at one time. John Tesh should only be as lucky.

I got it and Iiked it a lot for about one listen. I mean it is authentic Wonder and isn't embarssing nor even remotely suck...just not the kind of music that finds ears in 2005. It probably isn't worth the effort

This list isn't that bad. First list I've seen with Daddy Yankee.

I might have to start buying Rolling Stone occasionally because they seem to like many of the releases in my Top-10. We even have the same #10.

Yeah, I was stoked to see Young Jeezy on the list.
