POLL POLL POLL POLL POLL - SPOON (ILM artist poll #67) --- The results thread

did anyone ever come up with tapes of requiem performing

i'm up.

most spoon albums have nonessential sequences, on telephono they're also derivative

Eleanor Friedberger Cover

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.

cool pic

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

or use to go out with...

How did that have 3 # 1 votes but still Finnish so low?!

Stay Don't Go and Trouble both too low, IMO. Both are top-10 for me.

no right to bitch because I didn't vote, but that's not gonna stop me.

and it shouldn't. i voted for both and it is insane that it did get three number ones but still only managed 29.

I love the unusual (for Spoon) backing vox immoderately.

can anyone do a Spotify of this? that is one thing i did forget.

trouble comes running was my #1. it's flawless to me.

Me and the Bean, top ten for me. I love how they would cover little-known songs by Austin scene friends.

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.

Trouble Come Running wuz robbed. It's top ten fer sure

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.

I had no idea Me and the Bean was a cover! Amazing song though, was in my top ten.

"The Fitted Shirt" makes more sense as concept in the skinny jeans era.

Fitted Shirt maybe their goofiest lyric in a career not lacking in goofy lyrics.

of course, that's part of the charm

one of jim eno's finest as well

a huge song that is now off the board. this one did make my ballot as it's just so catchy.

LOVE this song.

as I said last week, it might be their best earworm in a decade

sort of cool that this is the last new song before we did this poll. it might not be their last song that they recorded but is the last song on their newest album.

Live Hollywood Forever Cemetery

damn, "New York Kiss" had 380 Points.

sorry abut that.

Also the numbering seems to have gotten off from the images around #26 just fyi

damn, thanks for that.

so my 1 (Fitted Shirt) and 2 (Anything You Want) are gone.
I'm so out of step. then again, dissing a Spoon song over lyrics is a bit rich.

yeah this is the best.

i was at that Hollywood Forever Cemetery concert. i got really drunk and loved that show.
