Spoon get away with stuff that I would laugh in the face of other bands for trying. Like having a song called Merchants of Soul.

Part of Spoon's charm is how quickly Daniel found a vocal tone commensurate with this guitar tone. Sexy as hell too.

they also wrote a song about a Japanese cigarette case.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 25 July 2015 19:18 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, and "Black Like Me"! Somehow they pull it off. Also all the "alright"s and "C'mon"s - in most people's mouths that would sound like sub-Springsteen tryhardism but for them it works so. Well.

Just submitted!
Tele – 2SOS – 4Loveways - 2GCT – 1KTM – 1GF – 6Gax5 – 3Transcendence – 2TWMS – 3Non-album track - 1
Sadly, my pick from Soft Effects fell off by the end, reducing the spread of sources
― da croupier, Sunday, 26 July 2015 16:54 (eight years ago) link
yeah I'm surprised that prob three TWMS tracks will show up on my ballot.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 26 July 2015 17:08 (eight years ago) link
Girls Can Tell = 2 KTM = 3GF = 4Gax5 = 4Transference = 3TWMS = 3
KTM is the canonical pick, but, really, it depends which album you buy first. GF was mine; the others don't sound vastly different. KTM actually is the one I've most trouble remembering how the tunes go.
Was anyone surprised by what an earworm "New York Kiss" has turned out to be?
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 26 July 2015 18:36 (eight years ago) link
They've always done great closers.
― the naive cockney chorus (Simon H.), Sunday, 26 July 2015 18:38 (eight years ago) link
imo KTM became the canonical pick due to some big hits on the A side and it being the first album where critics cared BEFORE it came out. but i dig the albums before it more
― da croupier, Sunday, 26 July 2015 19:09 (eight years ago) link
which isn't to say SOS and GCT didn't have champions, just that GCT is what established them as one to watch with the bigwigs

It's been a big weekend. But I look forward to the rollout & moaning to myself that if I had sent a ballot in "Anything You Want" could have placed higher than "The Fitted Shirt" (which is the only Spoon track I actively loathe, tho I think I may be alone in this opinion).
― hardcore dilettante, Tuesday, 28 July 2015 06:24 (eight years ago) link
"the fitted shirt" is like the spooniest spoon that ever spooned!
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 28 July 2015 07:09 (eight years ago) link
i feel like it's an AC/DC riff reconfigured into a Spoon song. (which, obviously, is great)

yeah but then there's the beatley bit Peak Spoon QED
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 28 July 2015 15:12 (eight years ago) link
I put "The Fitted Shirt" high on my ballot because I played drums in a band with a friend who is a big Spoon fan and he named the band the Fitted Shirt.
I was also once in a drop-D metal band with a song called "Requiem."
