Sufjan for me. I listened to Iron & Wine quite a lot for some time, and while I liked his music... It didn't stand out particularly for me, and his songs began to sound the same over time. Sufjan Stevens ranges ridiculously within albums, and incorporates all sorts of crazy stuff while still maintaining the same overall feel on the whole. Come On, Feel The Illinoise! is an album that i will come back to repeatedly, and every time I listen to it, I find something else that I hadn't heard, or hadn't noticed before.
