Re: Rank the Tracks: Sufjan Stevens' Illinois (2005)
I actually set foot in Illinois for the first time in my life today (not for long though, moved to Wisconsin already).
Outstandingly great and consistant album, picking the #1 was easy (top 20 songs of all time for me), top 5 is quite easy but everything ranked from Jacksonville to Decatur could go any other way would I rank them another day.
