Sparks

Anyone here like Sparks??

I always knew of The hit 'This Town Ain't Big Enough' and had a couple of albums but i've recently really got into them and just bought they're new album. I never realised they were still going so strong.

My favorite songs of they'res are Amateur Hour, Dick Around and No.1 in heaven.

Anyone else like them?

I likes 'em

I have about 5 albums, most of which were my mum's.

I like 'Looks, Looks, Looks' quite a bit.. There are loads of songs that I like, but I'm actually too tired/drunk to list them.

the band? never heard of them, but if you were refering to the track off the Tommy album...

thankyou for bringing back nightmares from my early childhood.
the bloke on the keyboards scared me shitless as a toddler.
i want my mummmmmmy! sobs!

I'm not a fan of their music but it is funny to see videos of Ron Mael and his stare.

I enjoy Paul McCartney's version of Ron Mael in Coming Up. Very good, I thought.

I bought 2 more albums of they'res today, Big Beat and Lil' Beethoven. I've really got into they're music.

I'm a big Sparks fan. I've got most of their albums (except for Introducing Sparks, which isn't out on CD and the first two albums which are still on my 'must-buy-this-soon' lst). Favourite tracks are Profile, Tryouts for the Human Race, Dick Around, Suburban Homeboy, Here In Heaven etc. etc.

Russel Mael is the brother.

I love all those tracks.

Suburban Homeboy is on the album i bought today!!! Lil' Beethoven.

I also read somewhere that the Sparks want to bring out they're own musical! That would be interesting.

Lil' Beethoven is awesome, though a bit repetitive at times (Ugly Guys With Beautiful Girls goes on-and-on-and-on-and-on). I prefer Hello Young Lovers, but they're both great albums (way better than crap-albums like Pulling Rabbits Out Of A Hat or Sparks In Outer Space with 1/2 good tracks).
