no album has ever affected me as much as Illinois.

I've heard a few songs from this album and while I don't dislike them, I don't quite get the appeal. However, I've only heard them on my computer so perhaps I'll just buy the CD and give it a listen on my real stereo.

Because you are ignorant about good music?

How would you hear about them? I don't know [censored] about art, and I don't expect to hear who made the best out door installation this year.

Don't you think where you live has alot to do with what you are exposed too, granted I can find all of these bands but if no-one in my region is listening to them then I have to be a disadvantage compared to a region where this kind of music is prevelant.

Sufjan, for sure, but i'll throw in a vote for My Morning Jacket's "Z"

also: Springsteen's new one, the new Son Volt, and the Dylan "No Direction Home" album is fantastic
