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.

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?

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.

that Eleanor cover is great, did not know that she went out with Britt.

How did that have 3 # 1 votes but still Finnish so low?!
― 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.
― hardcore dilettante, Friday, 31 July 2015 18:22 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 18:25 (eight years ago) link
I love the unusual (for Spoon) backing vox immoderately.

trouble comes running was my #1. it's flawless to me.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 31 July 2015 18:36 (eight years ago) link
Me and the Bean, top ten for me. I love how they would cover little-known songs by Austin scene friends.
― thom yorke state of mind (voodoo chili), Friday, 31 July 2015 18:39 (eight years ago) link
again thanks C. Grisso/McCain for pointing out the wrong release date for A Series of Sneaks. thanks to "mod" all those mistakes have been updated.

oof. lotta good songs being burned early here.

Trouble Comes Running is so great. Would've voted for Me & the Bean but wanted to avoid covers.

― kornrulez6969, Friday, 31 July 2015 18:59 (eight years ago) link
at first i did not think this song would make it, as it was not in the first draft i sent to Thermo Thinwall. what happened is some people send in ballots with just "Fitted Shirt" so when i found those songs it was of course this song will be in the Top 40.
― Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 18:59 (eight years ago) link
I had no idea Me and the Bean was a cover! Amazing song though, was in my top ten.
― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 31 July 2015 19:09 (eight years ago) link
"The Fitted Shirt" makes more sense as concept in the skinny jeans era.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 31 July 2015 19:16 (eight years ago) link
Fitted Shirt maybe their goofiest lyric in a career not lacking in goofy lyrics.
