Number 186: Spoons - When Time Turns Around


I don't think it's a stretch at all to declare the Spoons to be the greatest Canadian New Wave band of all time. Gordon Deppe and Sandy Horne produced some absolute classic music during the 80s and have multiple entries on this Top 200. By 1988, however, the genre was fading in popularity, and the group changed their sound for the Vertigo Tango album, infusing it with more of a rock vibe. The resulting LP was one of their best, and lead-off single "When Time Turns Around" marked their return to the Canadian charts. I have it at #186 on my list.
