I would personally listen to For Emma, Forever Ago before listening to Bon Iver. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love both albums. But I think what made the subsequent album so good for me was seeing how he'd grown and changed as an artist from his earlier work (as cliche as that sounds).
Having listened to both albums for quite a while now, the self titled one definitely takes the cake for me.
At the moment I'm loving this track; love the simplicity of the piano.
