Default Spot metering with landscape photography?

I've read in a few places, that people use spot metering with landscape photography. I tried it out once this past weekend, and I either got an over exposed sky or an under exposed foreground. So what am I missing? As far as I know spot metering is only useful when you want to focus your exposure on a very specific point. It sounds more useful for portraits or maybe macro than anything else.
