Decemberists are the only band I've ever walked out on.

Choosing between two of my favorite artists is too difficult. >_>

Sufjan.

The Decemberists are brilliant. I can see where the vocals can irritate people, not unlike Morrissey in that sense, or even Dylan. But being polarizing is not the same thing as overrated. The acclaim for this band is legit. Walking out on them? Bizarre. One of the more solid shows I've seen. Same for seeing Meloy solo acoustic at Iota a while back.

Sufjan Stevens… boring. Just boring.

The score stands at 7 votes for Sufijan and 9 votes for the Decemberists. I'm adding my vote to make it 10 for the Decemberists. I like Morrissey and I think I should like the Decemberists, but their lyrics are so damn affected that I want to feed the entire band into the wood chipper.

They'll both be irrelevent inside 5 years. I certainly won't be wasting precious minutes of my life listening to them again of my own acccord. Too many way better things out there goin on.
Sufjan is way more over rated IMHO. I tired of that whole genre revival quite quickly.
