message: I don't know if this is worth mentioning in the article, but Spoon performed track 12 of the album 'Wig in a Box: Songs from & Inspired by Hedwig and the Angry Inch'.  It's called 'Tear me Down'. Jamescaf512 08:04, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

message: i found one place where it says "It's Frightening" is the name of the new album(on their website) and one place where it says "Trouble Minx" is the name(their myspace newsletter) im not sure which one we should go by. Maybe we could put both names on or maybe we should put neither.--Aots191 04:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:GaGaGaGaGa.jpg

message: Does Home: Volume IV really belong under the EPs section?  It's properly a Britt Daniel/Bright Eyes split EP, not Spoon and Bright Eyes.  I don't believe that any other member of Spoon is credited on it.

message: In the discography someone has added the underdog as a 7" and CD single that reached #40 in the billboard. I'm really questioning the existence of such a release. It has been released as an iTunes single by Anti Records in Europe. Beyond that I don't have any evidence of any other single release excepting promos. I have seen a Matador and Anti promo CD. The only 7" is the free promo given out with early copies of GaGaGaGaGa which is the Underdog demo version. Unless anyone contradicts me with some evidence of its existence I'm going to delete the entry soon.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteherron (talk • contribs) 19:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Underdog single - does it actually exist? 

message: This article from the Austin Chronicle is an excellent source of information about the band's early days that should definitely be added to this entry. I don't have time right now to integrate it all, but I thought someone else might be up for it. Wantsarevolution 02:28, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Early Days

message: Yes, I agree that Spoon could be considered indie, but only in the sense that they are independent, not as a genre. Indie is not a style of music or genre. Could someone think of a better description of their music itself? 07 December, 2007 - Cb 76.202.135.54 (talk) 01:25, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Indie is a genre (with many sub genres) and Spoon is one of the most well recognized indie rock bands. --TM 07:19, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: "indie"?

message: *So I've re-organized the history section, using a lot of what was already there, but putting it in more of a cohesive time line. The milestone headings are subject to changing, I just put down what first came to mind (suggestions encouraged). I also wasn't sure what to do with all of the notable appearances on various late shows and commercials and tv appearances, so I've lumped them into "recent commercial success". Again, feel free to change this or add to it... I just didn't like the flow of it previous to my edits. Thanks. (Fulmerg (talk) 08:50, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There appears to be a bit of an edit war (I don't edit this site too much, so my apologies if I'm using that term incorrectly) over Spoon's status as an indie rock band in the genre section. Why? They're very well known for being an iconic Texas indie rock band by their fanbase and reviews, even if some of the band members aren't crazy about the term itself (although this same kind of issue doesn't stop, say, IDLES from being labelled a punk or post-punk band). 
And it just looks rather silly to leave a stray "rock" genre tag in its place. 129.123.8.87 (talk) 03:49, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
