    Based on lifetime body of work.

    It's Stevie Wonder.

    Change my mind.

    But not as good as my first post in the Kyrie Irving thread on the NBA board.

    Phil Collins is always underrated in these lists.

    He and Herbie Han are two of the best arguments for vegetarianism to boot.

    Good song, but it's always his most overrated/overplayed one when he was a musical genius

    Yeah he's #1B in my opinion. What puts Stevie Wonder ahead for me is that the songs where he played all of the instruments sounded like real songs and not studio experiments.

    My personal favorite, especially this time of year from old Phil (same album; this song is an allusion to his dying marriage to his first wife Andrea):

    One of my personal favorites as a small child (yeah, it's a little "out there", but it was my jam as a little boy in the late 90s):

    His music just wasn't as good. What he did considering he was blind was fantastic but he barely has hits compared to the Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, U2, etc

    What the . Wonder has 30 something top 10 songs and 10 #1 songs.

    I like all those bands you mentioned but I don't think that Led Zeppelin, The Who, or Pink Floyd come close to that.
    Maybe even combined.

    I'd even guess the Rolling Stones don't have the same amount of hits.

    Only one I've heard is "Supers ious" and it's a fine pop song. But it's not worthy of my camry playlist.

    Corey Taylor deserves a mention in this thread even though he's young. His ability to both sing or scream with the best of him, his range, etc is pretty fantastic

    I'm talking about individuals. With the exception of McCartney, no individual from any of the bands you listed had near the success on his own that Wonder had, and when any of those individuals took too much hold of his band, the results were typically worse than when the band was working cohesively. That's not to take anything away from them, and I agree I'd rather keep a Led Zeppelin album than a Stevie Wonder album if I was required to choose, but he made his own success with autonomy.

    And also, it depends on your definition of hits. Wonder has 10 songs that hit #1 on the Billboard 100. That's more than all of the bands you listed except for the Beatles. But his best work was as an album artist in the 70's.

    Admittedly my camry playlist contains a lot of linkin park, slipknot, disturbed, hip hop/synthpop, etc. But it's frontloaded with classic rock because that's what I grew up with in early childhood.

    Hendrix was arguably the most talented musician of all time; he could play 2 guitars, one held in either hand, one for thrashing soloes and the other for the rhythmic power chords

    But he's dead.

    I just never really considered Stevie Wonder. McCartney and Lennon were both big as individual artists in the 70s but Lennon was sadly cut short

    Shout out also to Smokey Robinson who wrote a ton of Motown hits even besides the ones he performed on, and had one of the greatest voices in music.

    "barely has hits"

    Stevie from 72-80 is one of the greatest creative runs from any artist ever.
