Spoon never disappoints

I listened to Hot Thoughts a few times earlier today. It doesn't disappoint. This got me thinking that literally ALL of Spoon's albums -- in my humble opinion -- are solid from start to finish.

I can't put them in the hyper hyper elite category of bands because maybe they lack that sixth gear that other great bands/acts have...those songs albums that leave you with full-body eargasms dripping all over the floor. BUT...I think there is something to be said for a band that has put out nothing be very very good material.

Not only has Spoon never put out a bad album, but they rarely even put out bad songs. I can make a playlist of every track from every album, and the number of songs I would skip over would be in the single digits.

What other bands can even approach this kind of kind of prolonged consistency? i can't think of any off the top of my head. Most bands let me down at some point. Spoon has to date never me let me down.
