bump for updated thread title

someone get popsicles, someone do something about this POLL

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

"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."

this is so true i never even noticed it

thanks Mod!

they also wrote a song about a Japanese cigarette case.

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.

only a couple of days left to vote. loving the order we have so far but a few more votes can really alter the order.

Just over 24 hours left to vote.

Benz:

0 Tele
2 ASoS
5 GCT
1 KtM
2 GF
8 Gax5
2 Trans
5 TWMS

Ballot sent. My breakdown is;

Telephono - 0
Series of Snakes - 4
Girls Can Tell - 2
Kill The Moonlight - 4
Gimme Fiction - 6
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga - 5
Transference - 3
They Want My Soul - 1

Just submitted!

Tele – 2
SOS – 4
Loveways - 2
GCT – 1
KTM – 1
GF – 6
Gax5 – 3
Transcendence – 2
TWMS – 3
Non-album track - 1

Sadly, my pick from Soft Effects fell off by the end, reducing the spread of sources

yeah I'm surprised that prob three TWMS tracks will show up on my ballot.

Girls Can Tell = 2
KTM = 3
GF = 4
Gax5 = 4
Transference = 3
TWMS = 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?

They've always done great closers.

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

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

Was anyone surprised by what an earworm "New York Kiss" has turned out to be?

nope

love the bass notes on the piano after the chorus

Sent!

i'm going to bed but there are a few hours left if you are inclined to vote.

Sent one.

Urgh, will vote! Hold the door open for me. I have to go to bed but will hastily assemble a ballot in the AM.

open for now.

will be sending out another round of confirmation emails tonight.

Going to start with the Divine Fits stuff on Wednesday night,might also do part of the album countdown as well that night. The majority of the poll will be on Thursday and Friday, only will go into Saturday if I run out of time

I also have someone who is helping with the pictures and can tell you we are in for a treat.

still waiting for your ballot hardcore dilettante.

sending out confirmation emails right now, will post that i'm done and that voting is closed here in a few hours.

i have sent out confirmation emails to everyone. please speak up if you did not get one.

voting is officially closed.

I hang my head in shame.

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).

"the fitted shirt" is like the spooniest spoon that ever spooned!

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

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."

"I was in this drop-d metal band we called 'Requiem'" might be my favourite lyric ever. That and "moving furniture and cutting lawns".

meddal band
