A revised version of that poll.

i just noticed a really silly spelling error in one of the images.

that was supposed to be:

what i absolutely love about you list Alfred is the placement of "They Never Got You." That is my number one from this poll and didn't get a lot of love compared. You have it at number five and that makes me very, very happy.

great overall list too.

i'm sad because the beautiful images that The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall did for this poll have disappeared. my computer did die after this poll but i still luckily have the images, so i think i need to re-post them. let's see if i can do this...

i have never understood you Noodle Vague, too grumpy for me.

don't remember the story but Thermo Thinwall had this original image for 34

but he didn't like it and wanted me to use this one instead, maybe he can explain? i haven't seen him around ILM but i know he is still around.

I like the first image better - but I felt the second went better with the title.

hi stranger, can't thank you enough for the images for this poll. hopefully we will team up again in the future.

(if i ever run a poll again)

these images are having a profound effect on me tonight. it's probably because i have had a very hard three days and work and drinking red wine. but it makes me realize people are people and why is there so much hate in the United States at this moment in time. i know it was worse back in the day but i didn't live then. i'm living now and this administration is tearing this country apart is the worst thing i have experienced in my life.

peace, rant over

more Spoon to come...

astonishing how well Thermo Thinwall captured the song in an image. these just happen to be some random images he had on a recent vacation. (iirc)

in case you haven't figured it out, the font and color all match up with the original albums.

stuff i can never do on my own. this is why this ended up being one of my favorites that i have run. when you get stuff like this, well it speaks for itself...

first a couple of extra images, with the song just missing the Top 40:

Thermo Thinwall probably thought like i did, that "Rent I Pay" will definitely make this poll.

it would be very interesting to see my ballot these days, especially with the addition of Hot Thoughts a very, very strong album. at first i thought it didn't measure up. these days it's actually one of their best.

a Bee OK story:

i originally thought because ILM was in the hey day for artist polls that Spotify made a special template for polls. haha. anyways, someone made this playlist with an ILM logo induced:

Spotify ILM Spoon Poll

very glad i was able to upload these images back to this poll. they were so good that they couldn't just disappear into thin air.

Hey man. Glad to see how appreciated my efforts were! If you’re interested in more of my photography, I’ve been keeping my Flickr alive (username d y s i g n) (except without the spaces - just trying to google proof). Slowly Uploading photos from Italy right now.

funny, Everything Hits At Once is the first song I ever heard by this band and it's still my favourite

these photos are insane!

Thanks?!

Those pictures really are amazing. Great job Thermo Thinwall.

A shame this poll couldn't include Hot Thoughts, a top three Spoon album, as I make clear.
