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'm particularly fond of Michigan: Greetings from Michigan, the Great Lake State and Illinois.
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.
Posting good music (& books) is what I do...
I think Michigan is easily Sufjan Stevens' most realized album (and my favorite).

Easily? I can see a preference for Michigan over Illinois, but I don't get seeing such a huge gap between the two.
Especially since Illinois is better.
I don't see a huge gap between them, either, but both are a great leap forward from his prior albums.

Let's let wrongheadedboy make his case. I'm willing to be swayed.
