Is spinning an article really necessary?

I use AMR to submit my articles, and I use TBS to spin them first. I usually get a 60 to 70% spin on each article. Some of the articles I write myself and some I get from several email lists I?m on that send me articles every few days. My question is, is spinning an article really necessary? This may be a bad analogy, but if I record a song I?m not going to submit 1000 different versions of that song to 1000 different radio stations. When I spin an article I rearrange it by adding and moving around paragraphs and deleting or adding sentences before I even start spinning it, but no matter how much of a spin you put on an article, it?s still the same article just reworded. Isn?t the big G going to notice that? This may be a stupid question, but hey I?m a noob and there?s still a lot I don?t know.

First off, when you submit a song to 1,000 radio stations, you are trying to get listeners to listen to your song and get good feedback on it and to get your name out there. You are not doing this with articles. Of course you are not going to submit more than 1,000 different versions of your song - you create your best one and submit it to all the radio stations.

What you are doing is not spinning. Spinning includes syntaxes so each article has different words for your words and phrases. For example,

{Hi|Hello}, my {name|first name} is {unique|outstanding|wild|sexy} compared to {others|everyone|people|children|teens}.

Big G knows duplicate content more than a spun article. No one knows how Big G really works but rewriting is alot better than having a duplicate.

People say to have 40% or more uniqueness on your spun articles - It's all a game honestly.

Yes, big G is pretty smart but the purpose is to try to be better than your competition.

Article spinning is still a very good thing. One thing is that spinning makes each variation of the article seem like a completely unique/different article. This means that article directories would think that you are submitting only one unique article to them. Also, search engines would see each variation of the spun article as different and count each backlink from each article directory to your benefit.

I would suggest spinning your articles. It seems like the method you are using should be successful for you.

Spinning is a good idea, not just for the fact that it creates a bit of uniqueness but it also lets you rank for long tail searches using different keywords as well.
