WORST EVER!!!
50 albums? Good lord, he probably had to promise 50 albums just to get signed to a label.
Painful.

and hey, what about devendra banhart?

Sufjan Stevens sucks elephant balls.
It's fold music, NOT indie. He oughta team up with Air Supply. Cuz he really is "all outta love".

I think both Sufjan and Devendra can be attractive, but their music sucks.

Jeez... I kind of like him. What's fold music?
- Gilt0010
Oops, wrong middle finger. FOLK music. It's folk music.
And judging by the picture on ninja's link, he CAN'T be attractive. He really does look like a pedophile.

It's indie in the definition sense, most likely, but his music is definitely more folky.

He puts out a lot of work, and has some pretty neat concepts.
His voice can at times sound like he is going to cry, and kind of reminds me of Jaime Stewart from Xiu Xiu - but I don't have to like everything an artist does to like them ... I guess is what I am getting at.

The reason to Like Stevens is that his music is a warm sweater and cup of cocoa to people. It is nostalgic and not in a Lawrence Welk sort of way, but he re-invents it and makes his music feel instantly familiar. The shins can't create that feel. It's a matter of opinion and if you don't like it, say it, so good for you if you do, or don't like it. I' for one, love it.

Dear lord, why is the term "indie" still used to describe a sound or style. Indie just means released independent of a label. Most folk IS indie at this point.
Sorry don't mean to bitch. Just finished my second "venti" drip.

Yeah, see these days 'boring music' seems to be all the rage. It only takes listening to KEXP for an hour in the evening to know that.
It's just something I've never understood. I'd say his music wholly nostalgic. He's every bit as folk as Janis Ian.

I like Sufjan. He's one of the only Christian musicians doing anything remotely good.
