To date, they currently have ten studio albums to their name: Telephono (1996) A Series of Sneaks (1998) Girls Can Tell (2001) Kill the Moonlight (2002) Gimme Fiction (2005) Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (2007) Transference (2010) They Want My Soul (2014) Hot Thoughts (2017) Lucifer On The Sofa (2022)Outside of Spoon, Britt Daniel has been involved in a number of side projects such as remixing and producing music for other bands like Interpol and White Rabbits, contributing to the original score for Stranger Than Fiction, and most recently, co-founding a new band with members of other established indie acts called Divine Fits. Their well-received debut, A Thing Called Divine Fits was released in 2012.

Miniscule Rocking: Frequently occurs on the first two albums as well as most of the tracks on Get Nice!. The shortest examples from each are "Primary" (1:10), "Staring At the Board" (0:54) and "Leave Your Effects Where They're Easily Seen" (0:56).

 Spoon (Music) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Their first couple of releases, while still fairly popular with critics and fans, have a "louder" and rawer feel to them that could catch people who heard their more recent and popular work first off guard.

Gratuitous Panning: "Trouble Comes Running". The vocals and bass guitar are in the center, the lead guitar and harmony vocals are panned to the right, and the drums are panned entirely to the left.

The B-Side "It Took A Rumor To Make Me Wonder, Now I'm Convinced I'm Going Under" gets its Non-Appearing Title from one of the lyrics to "Something To Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt.

Shout-Out: "The Way We Get By" mentions several songs by Iggy Pop and The Stooges - namely "Shake Appeal", "Some Weird Sin", and "Down On The Street". The B-Side "It Took A Rumor To Make Me Wonder, Now I'm Convinced I'm Going Under" gets its Non-Appearing Title from one of the lyrics to "Something To Talk About" by Bonnie Raitt.

Cover Version
 Spoon (Music) / int_cff53786
comment
Cover Version: Spoon have recorded cover versions of songs, most of which were originally recorded by other independent artists: "Don't You Evah" is a cover of a song by The Natural History, originally titled "Don't You Ever". Because The Natural History's album People That We Meet was delayed while they shopped for a new label, Spoon's version was technically released first by a few months - The Natural History's version was also released on Spoon's Don't You Evah EP alongside various remixes. "Held" from Lucifer On The Sofa is a cover of a song by Smog. "Towner" was originally recorded by aMiniature. "Me And the Bean" from Girls Can Tell was recorded by The Sidehackers. "I Just Don't Understand" from They Want My Soul was originally performed by Ann-Margret.
