Was listening to his album “Illinois” and not only is his music wholesome and inspired by Christian values but one song in particular stuck out to me. youtu.be
I've got the adequate committee
Where have your walls gone?
I think about it now” and “Oh, God of Progress
Have you degraded or forgot us?
Where have your laws gone?
I think about it now“ I mean it’s pretty obvious what he’s talking about. What do you guys think?
Is Sufjan Stevens /our guy/?

Honestly, being born in IL and living in IL. And having lived in Chicago. I have no love for the city at all. I really could care less about the place. There is some interesting history, including industry and innovation, but that shit was 60-100+ years ago. Seriously why pine for a place that will never be again. Abandon and move on, the rest of the world has.
Self bump, I also suggest you guys check out some of his other stuff. He did a great song about Flint. His music is some of the most implicitly white music I’ve ever heard
That was a quality album, gave me feels back in 2011.
I'll have to re-listen.
>you will NEVER EVER listen to Illinois with one of your friends you just met at a summer camp with light rain talking about your problems again
Why the FUCK cant I be happy
underrated
This album is excellent but Sufjan is absolutely not redpilled. Look at any of his very liberal social media
Sufjan is sadly too liberal for me but he's the greatest example of white music. Pick any of his songs, they will 100% be better than any niggerbabble
pretty sure sufjan is a fag because he elludes to having male lovers in a few of his songs and he soundtracked that fag movie from last year
The singer is openly gay, but the album aint bad
He's talking about the "White City" of the Columbian Exposition, not the ethnic makeup of historical Chicago. Great music but it's laughable to think the views espoused on this board wouldn't turn his mangina inside out.
He's literally the perfect twink tho, can you blame him?
Extremely talented but not redpilled. I forgive him for being gay though.
the fact that some /mu/ tryhard who thinks he's better than boomers posting about how today's music sucks on facebook actually went through the time to make this is cringier than the comic at the top of the pic
Nice little infographic, but I'd love to see one that applies to anything from the past 8 years or so. (All the stuff listed here is great, though)
He's gay as fuck though
Based +@
Also I know very little about Sufjan Stevens but his Christmas albums are some of the only ones that openly talk about Christ
Unless it's got fiddle and banjo and sounds like bluegrass, then I wouldn't know or care about Sufjan Stevens. Never heard of him. Who did he play the banjo for?
there's actually lots of banjo in his music (and he does play it), but it's certainly a far cry from bluegrass

I really enjoy his music. I avoid twitter and social media so i only see the celebrities BS that is posted here. I wouldnt be able to enjoy anything if i boycotted everyone i saw that is stupid on the internet
Listen to Illinoise and greetings from Michigan
He's okay, but I think you're reading into his music something that isn't there.
Isnt this the album with the john wayne gacy song on it
like all good musicians he's a democrat and was #WithHer
Lol Seven Swans is the greatest christian album of all time.
I heard about them from the Questionable Content comic, back when it wasn't so fucking retarded. Good band.
most all those artists are still active. I'd add Queens of the stone Age for rock, retox for punk, Vince staples & Kendrick Lamar for rap, melt banana for experimental, and junior boys for pop.
Yeah.
Sufjan is funny, he's gay as fuck, but sometimes his songs gave me the impression that he seeks redemption, maybe he was really conflicted about it, him being quite christian.
OTOH he sees quite lowkey, so I can appreciate that.
Gay for Jesus
>The cold vein
Got chills. The instrumentals on this album are some of the best music ever made in human history.
Why Jamie, what happened to you, just why. You beautiful Jewish bastard.
>weathermen
Someone actually spent time out of their day to make this
Thank you for the feels
my late girlfriend was from chicago, after an life changing year (good) i couldn't wait to show her, then I found out she died, I still hope she hears this. Also 2012 was the last year of good music. Sorry everything else after that is uncreative original and The Age Of Adz is probobly top 3 albums in human history.
jesus thats heavy
ffffffffffffff why :( I thought he was just eccentric and creative, is Keven Barnes from Of Montreal gay?
>you'll never show your fwb Sufjan again while cuddling on the bed at night again
She tried killing herself after I broke up with her. There's a sadness in his music that resonates with depressed people. I'd know it, too.
chicago was home of the growing socialists movement in the 1880s. it was never good here.
>I really could care less about the place.
That means you do care (at least a little)
>the sword
based but they haven't been good recently
Op and pol BTFO. Even when you try to claim a good musician as /ourguy/, you literally can't because they're all liberal as fuck.
>inb4 zz top, Bach or David Allen Coe
Seriously one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks for posting this OP.
I am not from Chicago, but I lived there for years and served as a criminal prosecutor. Cook County is a very unique place, and the terrible work conditions helped bonds to form and political opinions to be set. I no longer live there (although I own property in Chicago and may return), but I'm definitely attached and appreciate the place. My favourite city in the US, for all the wrong reasons.
He's a Christian, but he's not that socially conservative. He's also good friends with musicians like Annie Clark (a.k.a. St. Vincent) who's incredibly left-leaning.
>openly gay
He's not. We're not even 100% certain he's gay.
>le Suffy is gay meme
>is Keven Barnes from Of Montreal gay?
Heh.
Lonerism, Is This It, and Blood Visions have such a strong pop sensibility that it might as well be simply referred to as "pop music". Still great albums though. Good picks for the rap section. I wouldn't have put Nujabes, but he's good for normies, I guess. There's nothing groundbreaking about the albums in the row starting with Kid A. Tegan and Sara and Gorillaz aren't good enough to be on that list. (Again, good for normies though, I guess.) That metal is pretty onions-tier tobehonest especially with something like Agalloch. (Not even the best Agalloch album by the way.) Also, why is The Glow pt. 2 there in that row? Phil's lyricism isn't bad at all, but there are better examples of lyric writing. It could be replaced with Joanna Newsom for instance. Also, La Dispute? Lmao. I mean, sure, the storytelling is neat, but it's still not that great of an album overall.
