I like "New Slang" and I hate every single song off Illinois, so Shins.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 12 February 2006 04:28 (nineteen years ago)

I like "So Says I" and "Caring Is Creepy" and I hate every single song by Sufjan, so Shins.

― Matthew C Perpetua (inca), Sunday, 12 February 2006 05:21 (nineteen years ago)

i don't hate the shins, so... shins.

― kanye twitty (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 12 February 2006 05:23 (nineteen years ago)

i'm drunk. so, sufjan.

Aw, Sufjan deserves more love. Sure he was overrated this year, and didn't deserve album of the year (although I can't think of an immediate better choice). But hey-"John Wayne Gacy"? It's creepy. Plus, Sufjan wasn't on the Garden State soundtrack. So: Sufjan!

I liked "Seven Swans" but I want to seem cool, so Shins.

― JB Young (JB Young), Sunday, 12 February 2006 06:16 (nineteen years ago)

Shins by miles and miles.

― Jouster (Jouster), Sunday, 12 February 2006 06:53 (nineteen years ago)

I love Shins and I hate Sufjan; so, Shins.

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Sunday, 12 February 2006 10:03 (nineteen years ago)

Shins. There's nothing I love on Illinois although Michigan and Seven Swans are quite pleasant. Like a cup of tea. Mmm tea.

Where is my napalm?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 12 February 2006 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

Sufjan of course..

― Harrison Barr (Petar), Sunday, 12 February 2006 17:29 (nineteen years ago)

t/s having credibility vs having your life changed

wtf, they both = sux0r.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Sunday, 12 February 2006 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

TS: Kanye Twitty or Pashmina?

Kanye Twitty in a landslide

― marc h. (marc h.), Sunday, 12 February 2006 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

Sufjan has made many good songs. Shins have only made one good song.

― Sopan Ovesson (Sopan), Sunday, 12 February 2006 17:52 (nineteen years ago)

(xpost) argh, shit, pwned.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Sunday, 12 February 2006 17:53 (nineteen years ago)

sufjan has never been on gilmore girls

― keyth (keyth), Sunday, 12 February 2006 17:55 (nineteen years ago)

shins

― my name is latebloomer, please take my hand (latebloomer), Sunday, 12 February 2006 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

Shins.

― Brooker Buckingham (Brooker B), Sunday, 12 February 2006 19:29 (nineteen years ago)

Shins, easily.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Sunday, 12 February 2006 19:30 (nineteen years ago)

He seems like probably a pretty nice, cool guy, but Sufjan Stevens' music makes me want to tear my own ears off and feed them to jackals.

So, I guess I'm voting for the Shins.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 12 February 2006 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

I've seen the Shins live. So... Sufjan.

― sovietpanda (sovietpanda), Sunday, 12 February 2006 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

The Shins, though Sufjan does have sexier bandmembers.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Sunday, 12 February 2006 21:52 (nineteen years ago)

SUFJAN you crazy people!

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Sunday, 12 February 2006 22:03 (nineteen years ago)

TS: electrocution vs. drowning?

― deej.. (deej..), Sunday, 12 February 2006 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

I like them both but The Shins' best songs beat the hell out of Sufjan's best songs.

― tremendoid (tremendoid), Sunday, 12 February 2006 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

Sufjan is fantastic. ILLINOISE is a really great album, but shins deserve this accolade. Shins. but only just.

― red telephone, Tuesday, 28 February 2006 13:00 (nineteen years ago)

i think both are terrible

― billy, Tuesday, 28 February 2006 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

shins of course.
sufjan is boring.
shins are fun.
