I agree with almost all of those too.
Started to get into Hüsker Dü last time I posted, but I had a "really? This is what I'm doing right now?" moment and bailed.
I'd say Spoon's streak extends from A Series of Sneaks straight through to Transference. Maybe even They Want My Soul. That band just makes shit happen. They never fail to surprise me. I never got too heavily into They Want my Soul, but I have a feeling that once I revisit it, I'll love it and forget why I ever had doubts about it.
I have had a luke warm reaction to every Spoon album since Gimme Fiction. Thought, "huh? well this is nothing special" at first... then slowly succumbed to the album until I preferred it to those early classics.
