10 Favorite 2000-2009. Number: 10 Illinois-Sufjan Stevens

So I'm going to tell you my favorite albums of the last decade over the next few weeks. I hope you find something new. Sufjan Stevens' epic quest to record an album for each state may never come to fruition, but his second album in the adventure is a masterpiece. It is heralded by many to be the best album of the decade and it's fantastic. For me this album was a grower; I'll probably like it more at the end of the next decade than I do now. When I first heard it, it was different, weird and awkward, but now this album is what I pick up when I'm tired of all my music. As many times as I've listened to Illinois it never get's old. It's always fresh. If you choose to listen to this, do yourself a favor and listen to this album on headphones. There are so many intricacies to the music, you'll be blown away.
