the EP version is around 1:30 longer.
― Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 23:01 (eight years ago) link
strike that, Youtube time is wrong. now i'm wondering if there is a difference?
― Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 23:03 (eight years ago) link
It wasn't a huge dis (if you mean the 'goofy' comment), but I do tend to fixate on lyrics, for better or worse
haha, I am too, which is why I don't find Fitted Shirt particularly notable lyrically, positively or negatively. I find most of their lyrics serviceable to awful, but hooks gonna hook, ya know?

got nuffin was my #1
― da croupier, Friday, 31 July 2015 23:41 (eight years ago) link
will be really excited if anything else from my top 5 makes the top 20
i don't even get why they released got nuffin as a single, it seems like a runt on that album

i can understand not liking got nuffin more than not thinking it sounds like a single
― da croupier, Friday, 31 July 2015 23:54 (eight years ago) link
i see i voted for five songs off of They Want My Soul and all of them have made the Top 40. i think i need to redo my albums list.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 1 August 2015 00:03 (eight years ago) link
I didn't do an albums ballot, but They Want My Soul would have probably been my #1 if I did.
― austinato (Austin), Saturday, 1 August 2015 00:07 (eight years ago) link
i also really like the melting music video that they made for this song.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 1 August 2015 00:13 (eight years ago) link
Man, I've warmed up to a bunch of songs from TWMS but "Inside Out" is still the gem, one of their prettiest songs

thanks but i can't take credit for the artwork, that is all Thermo Thinwall.

Let's just assume I said "love this one" for every placing song off of Transference.

C/D the sudden fadeout at the end of Got Nuffin
― Tom Violence, Saturday, 1 August 2015 01:14 (eight years ago) link
love, love, love this song, made my Top 10. always thought this song ended a little abruptly glad to discover the vinyl version.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 1 August 2015 01:32 (eight years ago) link
i was the ONE person who put "paper tiger" at number one? holy shit people!!!!
― soyrev,
Many xposts for this one as I'm just catching up. Paper Tiger was my number two and was almost my number one. Shocked to see it so low.
Very happy to see Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga as the number one album. It was the first one I heard, I loved it straight away.

aw there's tons of good lines in spoon songs
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 1 August 2015 02:28 (eight years ago) link
i voted for "do you" pretty much on the strength of "flipping back pages / unbuckling belts"
thought sister jack was a lock for top 3 tbf
― Spottie, Saturday, 1 August 2015 02:29 (eight years ago) link
i do not care for sister jack and am relieved

didn't occur to me to be relieved but guess i am now

a song in my Top 5. maybe their catchiest song?
― Bee OK, Saturday, 1 August 2015 03:02 (eight years ago) link
I think they have catchier songs, but this one manages to be catchy without being, I dunno, obsequious (see: I Turn My Camera On, Inside Out).

Top 15 tomorrow and will close this out.
― Bee OK, Saturday, 1 August 2015 04:37 (eight years ago) link
4 of my top 10 have already placed, I really cannot imagine how this poll will turn out. I imagine most of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga will place, but that still leaves at least five or six songs.
― Tom Violence, Saturday, 1 August 2015 05:43 (eight years ago) link
Not much from Kill the Moonlight has placed so far but I'm expecting a few more to show in the top 15.

Deceptively simple, Sister Jack. Sounds like a throwaway three chord number but there's twelve (count 'em!) chords in the verse and that neat switch to 5/4 at the end.
― ledge, Saturday, 1 August 2015 11:08 (eight years ago) link
stuff from my list** that I'm starting to think won't show up: "The Delicate Place", "No You're Not", "Don't You Evah", "Take the Fifth"stuff from my list that I'm starting to think will show up way too high: "I Summon You", "Everything Hits At Once"stuff from my list that I honestly don't know whether or not to expect to see here: "Goodnight Laura", "Finer Feelings", "Don't Let It Get You Down"

― Heroic melancholy continues to have a forceful grip on (bernard snowy), Saturday, 1 August 2015 11:31 (eight years ago) link
I had Take The Fifth in my too 10, but Girls Can Tell isn't having the strongest showing overall.
― campreverb, Saturday, 1 August 2015 11:36 (eight years ago) link
I have $20 on "The Way We Get By" taking the whole thing, all proceeds going towards my next sack
― Heroic melancholy continues to have a forceful grip on (bernard snowy), Saturday, 1 August 2015 11:36 (eight years ago) link
i don't think it's possible for everything hits to be too high, not my #1 but spoon classic canon as it gets. one of maybe half a dozen songs that won't make me mad at 1
slow here but just now realizing that sneaks is done already
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 1 August 2015 12:02 (eight years ago) link
Spoon did "Sister Jack" better as "The Underdog," but I'm not fond of either.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 1 August 2015 12:12 (eight years ago) link
I'll be v v surprised and disappointed if Finer Feelings isn't in the top 5.
