"Joe's Head is one of the best kings of leon songs. Overrated album along with Aha. It is southern garage rock. The vocals are unique and the raw weirdness at times make them sound original to start. So they get some points there. I have no idea why KOL fans pick the first 2 albums as favorites. T..." Reply

"Nobody who listens to the lyrics can't be moved by this. By my opinion this is THE best album of the 90s, and yes I have heard Nirvana and Radiohead. This sets all pop-culture and television in perspective. How we respond to what's shown on TV. We don't cry when we see a kid that has lost his foo..." Reply

"Gimme Fiction has a more serious tone than other Spoon albums and I love it. Excellent songs here with Mathematical Mind being the best But Beast and Dragon, Camera On, Merchant of Soul, I Summon You are top Spoon songs. The only skippable song here is Sister Jack. The tone doesn't fit the rest a..." Reply
