2007: SPOON
Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
Spoon spent a good deal of the '90s musically genuflecting at the altar of the Pixies, and for a brief, unhappy period were signed to Elektra (an experience they would vent about on their 1999 single ''The Agony of Laffitte''). But the Britt Daniel-fronted act honed their own brand of poignant, angular pop-rock with such independently released collections as 2002's Kill the Moonlight and 2005's Gimme Fiction. Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga was a creative leap forward that, at its best, placed Daniel's vocals in a warm Motown-influenced frame. The message located on the inner artwork — ''This Record Is a Hit'' — turned out to be funny and true.
ESSENTIAL TRACK ''You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb''
