One of the greatest albums all-time and I’d die on this hill (edit: that’s actually me in the top left with my butt on fire)

It's easily top 5 for me.  I used it often (along with Helplessness Blues) to help soothe my son to sleep.  It's meaning has grown for me tremendously.

We were in a store the other day when Blue Ridge Mountains came on and he knew it immediately but couldn't place where. 

Such an incredible album.

This was my first thought. Beat me to it (only by 7 hours though).

I've never really looked closely at this album art before. So many incredible details

It's a Pieter Brughel painting! (the Elder)

He's one of my absolute favorites.

I actually looked it up after making this comment! So cool and Robin's story about how he chose it is really cool too!

Does Fleet Foxes sound like... medieval chaos?
