Tough one, Sufjan is an all-time fav.
1) Fourth of July 2) For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti 3) Casimir Pulaski Day 4) Death With Dignity 5) John Wayne Gacy, Jr. 6) John My Beloved 7) Impossible Soul 8) Futile Devices 9) Heirloom 10) All of Me Wants All of You

1. this is a really really good list , though the absence of Pallisades is striking 2. I will be silently questioning anyone who doesn’t have Casimir in their top 5 (luckily no one has fucked that up yet) 3. I definitely need time to think on my rankings before posting haha
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
Am curious while people are pondering for their lists—what do you think is Sufjan’s best song that seems to be underrated even amongst fans? (So you don’t see it popping up on many Best Of lists you’ve read etc)
I’d say probably either Heirloom, Mistress Witch from McClure or Vito’s Ordination Song

Based on this mini-sample size of three lists, I'm going to say Djohariah. I was going to say John Wayne Gacy Jr., but I really don't know what other Sufjan fans love/underrate.

Thank you! Regarding Predatory Wasp of the Palisades: it's a great song but I'm not as much into the grand arrangements on the Illinois album compared to other songs. As you can tell, the Carrie & Lowell tracks in particular hold an extra special place in my heart.
Sidenote: I once hosted a dinner party for friends where I raved about Sufjan for a while, after which Palisades came on the music playlist that accompanied our gathering. When pointing this out to them, none of them were impressed and thus didn't care to check out other Sufjan songs. Their loss, but now I need a new life event to anchor this song to.

I really like Saturn from the Planetarium album. It seems that entire record has very mixed reactions among fans.

Felt so bad cutting Come On! and Impossible Soul but I got everything else I wanted to fit in.
Mars is more or less the "Planetarium slot" pick; also considered Jupiter, Earth, Mercury and Pluto. Dear Mr. Supercomputer is probably Suf's best "banger."
1. Vesuvius 2. Fourth of July 3. Casimir Pulaski Day 4. Age of Adz 5. Chicago 6. Mars 7. Mystery of Love 8. Drawn to the Blood 9. Dear Mr. Supercomputer 10. For the Widows in Paradise, for the Fatherless in Ypsilanti

Part of me feels compelled to let Make Me An Offer I Cannot Refuse claim #9 or 10 because i really really do love it and is definitely my fave from Ascension, but ultimately I’m not sure it can beat out a track in one of those spots that I’ve adored for years and thus had much more time to sink into.

going with this for now because it feels right to me, might come back to it later. for some reason "They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhhh!" is my most played Illinois song on last.fm which is odd but honestly it does bang.
