wow. shocked to see i'm one of two Girls Can Tell #1s...though i guess that makes me feel like my taste in spoon is less cliche. :3

was totally cool with that...until i saw that Ga5 won. peasants, the lot of you

Not to nitpick, but the SoS release date you're using is for the Merge reissue.

Rhthm & Soul def not one of my favorites. Voted for Execution cos I love the simplicity of that riff - middle 8 handclap - riff - whistle section

Spottie, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:32 (eight years ago) link

They Never Got You: Great tune that just didn't find a place on my ballot. Gimme Fiction has a great insistent pulse through most of its tracks, it seems like, moreso than Kill the Moonlight.

Tom Violence, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:35 (eight years ago) link

This made my ballot, and "They Want My Soul" is a good sequel.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 31 July 2015 00:36 (eight years ago) link

Voted for these last two, "Metal Dekektor" my #5 and the highlight of the early stuff for me

bunny slopes, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:40 (eight years ago) link

blew my wad already, this was my number one. i just love the ending with the buildup.

Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:46 (eight years ago) link

ha i don't think this woulda made my top 60!

Spottie, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:48 (eight years ago) link

this song is illustrative of the issues with the back half of gimme fiction--just a little too repetitive

call all destroyer, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:48 (eight years ago) link

yup

Spottie, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:49 (eight years ago) link

lol

"They Never Got You"

Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:50 (eight years ago) link

i don't look like that guy however.

cool studio trix on this one.

Spottie, Friday, 31 July 2015 01:01 (eight years ago) link

didn't vote but that one is the best song on transference

carly bae jepsen (monotony), Friday, 31 July 2015 01:04 (eight years ago) link

On my ballot. It justifies its length.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 31 July 2015 01:22 (eight years ago) link

on mine too, one of the higher ones from Transference. so damn good

soyrev, Friday, 31 July 2015 01:24 (eight years ago) link

also man these images are great

soyrev, Friday, 31 July 2015 01:25 (eight years ago) link

britt's vocal on who makes your money might be his best

did not make my ballot but gorgeous

i was the ONE person who put "paper tiger" at number one? holy shit people!!!!

soyrev, Friday, 31 July 2015 02:19 (eight years ago) link

such a great song, in my Top 40 but didn't make my ballot.

Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 02:28 (eight years ago) link

haha, i could say the same thing for "Out Go the Lights."

Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 02:29 (eight years ago) link

These last two both in my top ten (I guess I like their ballads). "Out Go the Lights" is so tough and lovely. I didn't pay much attention to it at first but it's the deepest cut on an album full of growers.

shit forgot to vote on this one and I consider them probably the best rock band of the past 20 years or so. Great images and great countdown so far.
