i'm glad the Spoon poll was done after this album, it was perfect timing. even if it wasn't totally soaked in for me at that point.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 15 March 2018 01:33 (six years ago) link
Really like this band and this album. Inside Out is the safe choice and I’m usually a contrarian but it’s so good I don’t care.

Outlier or New York Kiss but probably Outlier

I prefer Hot Thoughts (heard last night again; still dig it), but this has immense songs. Voted "New York Kiss" -- one giant hook.

Lots of great options but I went with "Rainy Taxi," which lives up to its title
― Simon H., Thursday, 15 March 2018 12:32 (six years ago) link
outlier, mostly for the line about garden state. whole album is great though.
― iatee, Thursday, 15 March 2018 14:24 (six years ago) link
@ Mate, I will and surprised that it wasn't already done.

*Nate
haven't listened to this in a while, but iirc the title track sunk its hooks in me for the longest

"I Just Don't Understand" was good live as they brought out Dale Watson at the show i saw. though i do agree with some here, it's the weakest song on the album.
― Bee OK, Friday, 16 March 2018 03:14 (six years ago) link
Ooh, thanks for reminding me to re-listen to this one. My favorite Spoon album.
BTW, there's a great Song Exploder episode where Jim Eno breaks down "Inside Out": http://songexploder.net/spoonI always thought of their music as somewhat minimal (surely all that empty space = less to worry about), but that podcast gave me an appreciation of how much is actually going on in their songs.

Not only is this the best song on the album or maybe in their catalog but might be my favorite video of all-time:

Whoa I love the song but hadn’t watched the video. It’s amazing.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Saturday, 17 March 2018 08:33 (six years ago) link
'Inside Out' is definitely a top 5 in their entire catalog for me as well.
― campreverb, Saturday, 17 March 2018 15:41 (six years ago) link
that video is pretty damn cool.

New York Kiss, what a stone cold classic
― austinb, Saturday, 17 March 2018 23:11 (six years ago) link
Voting "Rent I Pay" because of the lack of love on this thread and is a hell of a way to start an album.
― Blue Room, Sunday, 18 March 2018 03:05 (six years ago) link
This album is great and is top heavy.
― Blue Room, Sunday, 18 March 2018 03:06 (six years ago) link
New York Kiss all the way.

i'm beginning to wonder if "New York Kiss" might actually win this in an upset?
― Bee OK, Monday, 19 March 2018 01:28 (six years ago) link
why upset?

"Inside Out"
― Bee OK, Monday, 19 March 2018 01:29 (six years ago) link
when it comes down to it "Inside Out" is the quintessential Spoon song.

Bee OK, there is something wrong with the images in that Spoon poll.
i think i can do this...
― Bee OK, Monday, 19 March 2018 13:55 (six years ago) link
Rainy Taxi = Inside Out > New York Kiss > Do You > Rent I Pay > Knock Knock Knock > Let Me Be Mine > Outlier > They Want My Soul >>> I Just Don't Understand
― Bee OK, Monday, 19 March 2018 13:58 (six years ago) link
I actually found out about the image issue a few months back. Thanks for the reminder that I need to fix that.

glad LMBM got a vote
― Simon H., Tuesday, 20 March 2018 00:15 (six years ago) link
me too, this is about right. it's almost the same as ILMs Spoon poll from up thread.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 20 March 2018 01:23 (six years ago) link
These days I think "Inside Out" is their pinnacle song, correct winner. I do wonder if it would do better if we did the Spoon artist poll over? It came out at 19, which seems robbed looking at it today.
― the future is now, Thursday, 21 February 2019 01:43 (five years ago) link
I have no idea how Me And The Bean won that one.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 21 February 2019 02:09 (five years ago) link
timely bump, i just got Spoon tickets for this summer. they are opening up for Beck.
almost feels like we might be getting a new album this year, it has been a year and a half or so.
