@alex I barely know Spoon, but a couple Wilco albums are favorites of mine

@touk "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" is an excellent entry point to Spoon for wilco likers as it also wears the influence of just the first two steely dan records on its sleeve

@alex That is a memorable name, I'm pretty sure I listened to that in 2008 or whenever

@touk The Underdog and You Got Yr Cherry Bomb were both big alt radio hits—got them on SNL

@alex Again, names familiar... I'll listen

@touk @alex Wilco and I had a relatively brief but absolutely torrid, obsessive love affair from YHF through to the live record. Similarly, Spoon and I were FWBs from Girls Can Tell on to Ga Ga etc. Me and side A of Gimme Fiction banged twice a day for like a year.

@shane @touk Gimme Fiction is indeed a special record

@alex Ok @shane
1. That's centered right around A Ghost Is Born. My favorite. I won't argue "best", who cares, just my favorite.
2. Spoonwise that's around The Way We Get By, the song I most associate with them (unless there are some singles I didn't realize are Spoon)

@touk @alex @shane learning today that i am not only a dad but a centrist dad

@alex @PhoebeWallerPalladino @shane Fatherhood is a spectrum (Spoon-Wilco Spectrum) [SWS] {not real}

@touk @alex 'ghost' is my fav also.

@shane @alex are we in a meet cute

@alex @touk for the cover art alone.

@alex To be fair I had to give Wilco a few tries before it clicked

@touk @alex I personally think Gimme Fiction is a stronger record to start on, but Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is solid

@touk @jaytom for a Wilco fan though!!

@alex @touk sure, I feel you

@jaytom @alex love that classic Queen song, Radio Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga

@alex @touk “Girls Can Tell” also a nearly perfect album to me

@ct @alex I am surrounded by Spoon Dads
