The Illinois Project

Sort of like The Speakerboxxx Below Project, Sufjan Stevens' Illinois album, along with the disc of out-takes, The Avalanche offers itself up for a boiling down -- after all, I always thought, at least personally, that Illinois was a great album, though a bit bloated and could use a bunch of trimming. But, with The Avalanche, perhaps it'd be better to swap stuff out and make an album that's more or less as long as the original one, but with a more solid tracklisting. Of course, everyone's got their own favorites, so it might be interesting to see other folks' Ideal Illinois -- so, post them up here!
