Google for their 10th anniversary posted their old search engine for 2001. I was curious on what the Spoon news was for back then and I found this interview. I didn't read the full thing I just went right to the questions and when I got to influences I was shocked.

After I read that Creed was an influence on Spoon I bolted to the top in shock. It was a different band. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I was scared.
