As for what does Spoon sound like... that's kind of a hard one. Every album turns out a little different. Their first was pretty much a punk album, and not really a great one at that, but around Girls Can Tell everything started coming together (A Series of Sneaks is also exellent, but not as complete sounding as Girls Can Tell). Definetly indie rock, but much more on the rock side... very good lyrics, really good hooks. Killing the Moonlight was kind of a departure from that sound and moved into sort of straight rock territory, but refused to stay in that category for long (one song actually done to a human beat box). The new album is 60/70s rock, but not garage... Think Love/Arthur Lee mixed with Tom Petty (they are from the South after all)... and you may get an idea. Just download the fucking thing in my share if you can!
