2. Sufjan Stevens- Illinois, Asthmatic Kitty, July 5(pre-release was leaked back in March)
Sufjan Stevens is set to make it into my top 20 albums of the year list for the third year in a row(Seven Swans was 12 last year, Michigan 8 in 2003). If not for the absolute jaw dropping quality of the Mysterious Production of Eggs this would be a runaway winner. Phenomenal.

I think this guy's list is pretty close to my own pics, but this album in particular is of interest: I haven't picked it up yet, but Stevens has announced that he intends to record an album about every state in the US. Michigan was brilliant, and it sounds like Illinois is just as good. It's an impressive endeavor just to attempt, though. How many years is that going to take?
