Voted for #40, one of the few Spoon songs from the first four albums that I remembered before listening to them again. I heard all of these in about 2002 and then lost the files a few years later, so I probably hadn't listened to those albums in ten years.

A ha! I see the font choice for each image is tied to the cover art of the album whence the track came. Nice call!

that is all Thermo Thinwall.

wow. shocked to see i'm one of two Girls Can Tell #1s...though i guess that makes me feel like my taste in spoon is less cliche. :3

was totally cool with that...until i saw that Ga5 won. peasants, the lot of you

Not to nitpick, but the SoS release date you're using is for the Merge reissue.

Rhthm & Soul def not one of my favorites. Voted for Execution cos I love the simplicity of that riff - middle 8 handclap - riff - whistle section

Spottie, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:32 (eight years ago) link

They Never Got You: Great tune that just didn't find a place on my ballot. Gimme Fiction has a great insistent pulse through most of its tracks, it seems like, moreso than Kill the Moonlight.

Tom Violence, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:35 (eight years ago) link

This made my ballot, and "They Want My Soul" is a good sequel.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 31 July 2015 00:36 (eight years ago) link

Voted for these last two, "Metal Dekektor" my #5 and the highlight of the early stuff for me

bunny slopes, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:40 (eight years ago) link

blew my wad already, this was my number one. i just love the ending with the buildup.

Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:46 (eight years ago) link

ha i don't think this woulda made my top 60!

Spottie, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:48 (eight years ago) link

this song is illustrative of the issues with the back half of gimme fiction--just a little too repetitive

call all destroyer, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:48 (eight years ago) link

yup

Spottie, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:49 (eight years ago) link

lol

"They Never Got You"

Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 00:50 (eight years ago) link

i don't look like that guy however.

cool studio trix on this one.

Spottie, Friday, 31 July 2015 01:01 (eight years ago) link

didn't vote but that one is the best song on transference

carly bae jepsen (monotony), Friday, 31 July 2015 01:04 (eight years ago) link

On my ballot. It justifies its length.

The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 31 July 2015 01:22 (eight years ago) link

on mine too, one of the higher ones from Transference. so damn good

soyrev, Friday, 31 July 2015 01:24 (eight years ago) link

also man these images are great

soyrev, Friday, 31 July 2015 01:25 (eight years ago) link

britt's vocal on who makes your money might be his best

i was the ONE person who put "paper tiger" at number one? holy shit people!!!!

soyrev, Friday, 31 July 2015 02:19 (eight years ago) link

such a great song, in my Top 40 but didn't make my ballot.

Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 02:28 (eight years ago) link

haha, i could say the same thing for "Out Go the Lights."

Bee OK, Friday, 31 July 2015 02:29 (eight years ago) link

These last two both in my top ten (I guess I like their ballads). "Out Go the Lights" is so tough and lovely. I didn't pay much attention to it at first but it's the deepest cut on an album full of growers.
