#3 Superstition – Stevie Wonder
I came to Stevie Wonder only a few years ago to be honest after hearing Superstition in the opening scene of the Will Smith film I,Robot and I’m so glad I did. This is one of many great songs of his, I just love the distorted clavinet and Moog synth here that he somehow managed to make sound good. Stevie was at the cutting edge of the synth and sampling revolution in the early 70’s and this song was recorded in a room full of wires and overheating, unreliable primitive electronics. Thats the thing about music, no-one is really interested how you do it, just make it the best you can and get it recorded well. Great lyrics too.

My blurb about #mytop30 …
I now have 15,906 songs in my iTunes collection. In my defence I am an ex-DJ, honest! So on a long train journey i started to add my favourites to a playlist. I was aiming to find my top 5, but ended up with my top 30.
Whats your top 5/10/20/30?
