How could I forget Sufjan Stevens - Come On Feel The Illinoise

And...Greetings From Michigan The Great Lakes State

Illinoise = Masterpiece
Michigan = exellent album
Just my opinion of course as I have read others feel Michigan is Sufjan's best effort.
Timrhu...

I'd have a hard time picking one over the other but gun to my head I'd take Michigan. I'm just happy to see other's digging his work.
XTC Skylkarking, and The Decemberists The Hazards of Love and to a slightly leesser extent, The Crane Wife. Crane Wife is a superb album with good sonics on most tracks but let down by compression and other nasties at times. Still, a great album!
