Spoon - I hate this band

WTF is this crap, what do people see in this. I mean, listen to his solo there. I could smear feces on a wall, have an orphan come in and lick it off the wall, and record the sounds of him licking it and have a better solo than that.
to this shitty band. i don't understand how they are so big.

i can't listen to the clip because i'm in class.
and i've never had the pleasure of seeing them live.
but spoon's albums fucking rock hardcore. Kill the Moonlight, Gimme fiction, and a Series of Sneaks were fucking awesome albums.
don't let one bad live performance turn you off of a band entirely. everyone has off days every now and then.

i have seen them live. he didn't once address the crowd. they were drunk and boring on stage. and every song, and i mean EVERY song, sounded the same.i can't tell you how many songs they played or distinguish between them because they all boringly blurred together.

i'm not sure what song that is, but i dig spoon. i wouldn't go out of my way to see them or anything, let alone buy their music, but it's some chill music
i was listening to them at echo the day after a helluva a lot of lsd, and kinda wish i had been tripping for their set as well. it was really easy to get lost in

Yeah, I've heard that song Way We Get By and liked it, and then I heard a little bit of their newer album which was okay... but that first link... that was very bad IMO. Very very bad.

i'm not sure how quoting that helps in your argument. the point i was making is that they have had a solid, undeniable fan-base for several years now, making them firmly established and unlikely to be forgotten in a mere matter of months.

and i was agreeing with you, i know they are established and aren't going anywhere, and it just baffles me. like i said in the first post, how the hell are they so big...there is nothing special that separates them from the middle way.

i think the video i posted says it all though, about the fans and the band. listen to the solo. listen carefully. there is nothing tasteful, technical, emotional, or anything about it. it's just bad bad playing. and yet, the crowd cheers him like it's some amazing thing.

because your bashing seems pretty unnecessary. if you don't like them, don't listen to them. it's pretty simple.
i've heard multiple live shows and seen them twice at fests, and have nothing against them. i agree they aren't an amazing standout band, but i don't think they deserve you smearing them

I've never heard (of) them before, but wow. That clip was terrible. I don't play guitar and I could do a better solo than that.

i'm not going to try to tell you guys who to like and who to dislike, however, i am going to say don't judge the band off of that one terrible solo. they're better than that. they're WAYYYY better than that. they haven't received as much critical acclaim as they have for no reason.
http://www.badongo.com/file/7470813 here's a link to a .rar i uploaded with four of their albums (A series of sneaks, kill the moonlight, gimme fiction, and ga ga ga ga ga). if you really want to judge them, take the couple of minutes to dload it, listen to some of it, then delete it afterwards if you like, knowing full well you've made a fair and informed judgment of the band rather than basing your whole opinion on one especially bad clip.
