awesome poll! everything hits wasn't my #1 but it feels just. I still remember the first time I heard it, driving north on 405 past LAX. Gobsmacked me it did.
Would love to say I ran out and bought the CD but I think how it went down was I got home and downloaded from eMusic...

so neither of the lafitte songs placed?
don't blame me man I had "agony" top 5 \m/
― resulting post (rogermexico.), Sunday, 2 August 2015 02:06 (eight years ago) link
Wow, no #1 votes?!
tbh the way we get by prob should be #1 but count on ILXor Spoon fans to refuse to be that ~obvious~
(totally guilty of this btw. think i had it second on my ballot because ~come on~...)

It was my #5 and I placed it there figuring it was a lock for the top spot.

Everything Hits at Once is my #1 and DESERVES to be the poll's number one.
Good work guys.

"The Way We Get By" was my #18, I like it OK but I couldn't imagine it in my personal top 10. It does seem like their breakthrough in a way, though.

beat me! impressed cuz the roll-out made me feel really contrarian. I concur with the consensus that "Finer Feelings" is the highlight of Gax5 but don't particularly rate the next three most popular tracks from it.

listening to "Advance cassette" and agh now i feel guilty for filling the latter half of my list with later singles rather than more good pre-merge stuff.
― da croupier, Sunday, 2 August 2015 03:41 (eight years ago) link
if he'd picked five more songs from Telephono
I could've, but I didn't see any point in it. The three I put on there are my absolute favorites, including Idiot Driver which makes me probably the only person on earth whose favorite Spoon song is Idiot Driver.

Really surprised at "Quincy Punk Episode" not hitting. Also would have voted high for "I Saw The Light" mainly for the huge weird extended coda. "Everything Hits" was my unshakeable #1; basically I voted canon (though no "Camera", and "The Way We Get By" would have been v low on my list despite being my entry point into the band). Great poll, great rollout, great images, thanks! Awesome poll. And made me listen to Spoon obsessively over the past couple weeks, which I think is exactly what I needed.

*would have voted canon
― hardcore dilettante, Sunday, 2 August 2015 05:43 (eight years ago) link
The more I listened, the tougher the cuts would have been to make. Esp from Transference: maybe their most wholly "whole" album?
― hardcore dilettante, Sunday, 2 August 2015 05:44 (eight years ago) link
xpost the liner notes for Transference point out that the first and second half of "I Saw the Light" were mixed at two different studios, something else I noticed listening to Transference again tonight. I guess there's a reason the two halves seem like two different songs.
