Spoon

[RunDownHouse]

Patrick,

Care to discuss their music in a little more depth for someone who hasn't heard them before? Genre, influences, peers, etc?

Spoon is a member of my top 3 favorite bands. Gimme Fiction > Kill the Moonlight > Girls Can Tell > A Series of Sneaks, although it should be noted that they're all good.

I'm not very good at describing music - I'll leave this to one of the other guys in this thread.

Spoon is interesting to me becuase they were on of the first indi rock bands that said hey, I like pianos. No, not like ironic sappy pianos, real ones. That are kinda funky. Funky pianos, yeah. Now everyone sweats the acoustic keys.

Their best work has this Paul Weller/Style Council bounce to it that works really well with the dudes voice/songwriting. Very catchy stuff, like something written by Carol King performed by the Undertones fooling around in Al Green's studio. I like Girls Can Tell best, but they're all buyable.


Good band.

PS: There's actually a band called the Aisler's Set that sounds like a female version of Spoon...check em out: From INSOUND

Girls Can Tell and Kill the Moonlight are two of my favorite albums i own, i like "Girls" a little better both IMO are both great.

i saw them live in Austin with The Shins years ago, there was maybe a dozen people there and the basically just did the "Telephono" album. great show though.

Very weak thread.

"I like this band. Discuss."

Not enough.
