He is very overrated. Dud some fine stuff in the 60's and 70's but little since. Also too much crap like I Just Called to Say I Love You.
While I agree that Stevie Wonder is a gifted musician and songwriter, I can't put his 1972-1976 output ahead of the Beatles' 1963-1970 output.
My husband says, what about CCR from 1968-1972? Or the Stones from 1964-1974? I'm also thinking about R.E.M. from the early 1980s to the early 1990s. And then there's U-2 who have been constantly reinventing themselves for almost three decades.
I dunno. I'd probably go with Dylan's 1965-66:Bringing It All Back HomeHighway 61 RevisitedBlonde On BlondeAlso, some of the songs that didn't make the cut for those three albums:Farewell, AngelinaLove Is Just a Four-Letter WordPositively Fourth StreetBut, then, I have a very strong bias.

Bringing It All Back Home
Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde On Blonde

Farewell, Angelina
Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word
Positively Fourth Street
But, then, I have a very strong bias.
