great examination as usual, alfred.
i just sorta shrug, and know they are unfuckwithable, and don't much feel the need to argue it.
the aug 1 2015 spotify, mentioned far above, was playing on my player when i was put into a multi-day coma on the evening of aug 5 2015. after that, i lived in a rehab hospital for a couple months. i don't remember listening to spoon that day- that day is gone from me forever- but i later found other evidence (texts) that the playlist was my listening at that moment. seeing my comments from that week now rips me into shreds.
the last 3 years often have been almost unendurable, despite my outrageous good luck and fantastic group support. but spoon? still unfuckwithable.

Found Transference LP second hand and I'm starting to think it's song qua song my favourite album.
I need to give the last two albums a bit more listening time. I love Spoon

I like Alfred's opening line "Why I like these Austinites mystifies me". I agree. They could so easily be the US equivalent of the Stereophonics if they weren't so damn good at writing great songs and knowing just how far to push the boat out with experimentation so it seems like they're not experimenting.

Transference seems to be where the hard core Spoon fans seems to gravitate too, it has some killer hooks. They Want My Soul is even better for me as it has "Rainy Taxi" and arguably their best overall song "Inside Out" and also "New York Kiss," what an album. Hot Thoughts is their New Order album and i also love it. it is/was an interesting direction that i wish they continued down but it seems they are going back to rocking out...
this poll was so much fun!

Transference is far and away my favorite.

Glad I'm not the only one. That said, while they're not a band I listen to all the time, every album easily has 3-4 top tier songs

Hot Thoughts has become my most played Spoon album, thanks to "I Ain't the One" and especially "WhisperI’lllistentohearit." He sounds sexy as fuck on the latter.
