I agree. In my mind, I always consider the 90's to be the golden age of indie rock, but Spoon's catalogue beats Pavement's, at least in consistency if not in raw power. The only album I no longer feel an urge to listen to is Girls Can Tell. Actually, that and kill the moonlight and gimme fiction have all been so closely connected with certain eras of my life that hearing them now just feels off.
But yeah, they have a pretty flawless discography. And GaGaGaGaGa really reignited my interest in them. That album caught me by surprise. It sounded as perfect and relevant to my late 20s as A Series of Sneaks was to my freshman year of college.
