I don't know from Sufjan Stevens, but I'm totally in love with Did I Make You Cry On Christmas Day? (Well You Deserved It!). DW has been downloading new-to-us xmas music like crazy and so far that's my fave new one. What other Sufjan should I be listening to???
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I'd start with Illinois. I think that's his best. "Casimir Pulaski Day"!

I love Illinois.
And the outtake album: The Avalanche which is perfect for those of us who cannot get enough of Illinois.

Unleashed!
Posting good music (& books) is what I do...
I think Michigan is easily Sufjan Stevens' most realized album (and my favorite).
