I love Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, and it was my 'in' for Spoon, but KTM is just... it's amazing. So tight, so creative, so hooky, so tuneful. So fucking cool. It might be the coolest album I own.

Gimme Fiction was my first Spoon album, bought it on a whim for £4 in a Virgin/Zavvi sale a year or so after it came out. I only really liked a few tracks and I've never really got any further with it. Then someone recommended GCT to me soon after and I loved it, caught up with the back catalogue after that. I don't think they've ever made an outright bad album.
― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 31 July 2015 13:40 (eight years ago) link
i was lost on the albums. just couldn't decide and was changing it daily – and not by little, completely different from one inception to another. top 7 were all interchangeable.

yea thats maybe true. i don't have a go to spoon album, just a go to spoon playlist with like 6-7 songs from every album.

Is Transference the most solemn?
― hardcore dilettante, Friday, 31 July 2015 16:01 (eight years ago) link
reading and relistening, i wish i'd voted now. i keep thinking of my musician friend with p. good and even similar taste to mine who told me "uh, yeah, they're not terrible, but not much there." i want to find him and slap some sense into him.

are people really rating telephono that low or have they just barely (or simply not) listened to telephono?

I saw you did it last Sunday and said nothing cuz it was too perfect. Transcendent even.

telephono would totally be one of those "underrated post-grunge bands you can find for $2" CDs if the group had broken up after Sneaks. And I'm just surprised if everyone really prefers every disc of their more finger-snappy shooby-doo shit to their most pixies-meets-wire album
― da croupier, Friday, 31 July 2015 16:52 (eight years ago) link
Telephono sounds like a Pixies tribute band attempting original material.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 31 July 2015 16:58 (eight years ago) link
it definitely doesn't help that the first song (while great imo) is the most obv pixies homage

most spoon albums have nonessential sequences, on telephono they're also derivative

Love this one, but was a late scratch from my ballot. I scratched it in favor of another Transference song that I'm worried won't make it.

― AKA Thermo Thinwall (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 31 July 2015 18:22 (eight years ago) link
Stay Don't Go and Trouble both too low, IMO. Both are top-10 for me.

no right to bitch because I didn't vote, but that's not gonna stop me.
― hardcore dilettante, Friday, 31 July 2015 18:23 (eight years ago) link
and it shouldn't. i voted for both and it is insane that it did get three number ones but still only managed 29.

Me and the Bean, top ten for me. I love how they would cover little-known songs by Austin scene friends.
