Have you heard the Age of Adz?

I have not.

I'm for Iron & Wine, the reason being is that no matter what type of day I'm having if i turn on Iron & Wine on my ipod, it gets better.

Also his work has been such a help to me in getting better with guitar

plus that beard is so epic that it deserves the respect of all, even chuck norris gotta recognize

It's a completely different experience. I can't even explain. I got to see Suf live about a month ago, and my brain exploded when he played some of those songs.

I'll check it out because I trust your judgement.

You, my friend, are a wise human being :D.

Don't like either really. But Iron And Wine are much better.

I love both, but I also think both bands tend to go with one sound for all of thier songs, making most songs indistinguishable from each other.

If you're a Sufjan fan, it might be worth your while to check out Chris Greene, who cites Sufjan as an influence, although his music is quite different. He did do a very good cover of John Wayne Gacey, and for his own music, a song like Lotus Seed will provide the hook.

I haven't really heard Iron & Wine's stuff but I LOVED his Gwar cover!

I've got the most recent Surfjan albums and feel somewhat of a connection to his music, so I vote him....for now at least
