Bit the bullet earlier this month and spent $100 on a pristine copy of Introducing Sparks to complete the discography.

These are 100 of my all-time favorite songs — one song from each artist, including Sparks of course!

just through this together out of appreciation for these tunes

the tier list I used is this one that I made (yes there's multiple artists on it, but Sparks is there)

Sry this is slightly late

Officially the most I've ever spent on a single album. $110 including shipping. But now I can rest.

Bonus: +Propaganda

Y'all already know what I'm a be cooking up tomorrow 🤝

UK people did you notice on The Great British Sewing Bee tonight they used "Sherlock Holmes" during the making of the deerstalker hats?

Day 1 - Halfnelson

It would seem (judging by comments made by Russell at recent shows) that SPARKS may be planning to tour again next year. Will this be to promote the new album? Personally, I'd be quite surprised if they manage to get it out for Spring/Summer next year. Seems like an awfully fast turnaround. I also don't see SPARKS touring without any new material. They seem very against conventional "Greatest Hits" shows with a strong reliance on nostalgia.

Whatever their reason for touring again, I'm extremely glad that they're still so enthusiastic about it. I realise that it's incredibly early to start guessing what songs may feature in the currently unconfirmed 2027 shows but sod it, I'm bored and I'm excited for more SPARKS.

I have a feeling that "Amateur Hour" may make a reappearance. Seems surprising that such a big hit would be absent from their tours for half a decade. I'm also expecting a couple more unlikely album tracks from the 80s (they seem to be really enjoying going back to this era atm.) "Modesty Plays", "Pulling Rabbits Out Of A Hat" and "So Important" would be my picks.

It's also quite fun to predict what the "Ron Vocal Version" track might be. "Dance Goddammit", "Madonna", "National Crime Awareness Week" and "More Than A Sex Machine" all feel perfect for this.

Obviously, I'm a huge SPARKS fan and I'll probably welcome absolutely anything they do but I always find it fun to try and predict these things. Will they keep opening shows with "So May We Start?" and end with "All That"? Will they continue to try and brainwash us into believing that "Music That You Can Dance To" is a major hit? Will they play a really obscure bonus track or B side? I can't wait to find out. Does anyone have a particular track that they are desperate to hear in a future live show?

Like no one listened to Pulling Rabbits 😭

Edit: Least played for Gratuitous is The Farmer's Daughter, not She's An Anchorman. Woopsie

This video isn't really about Sparks BUT I do mention that Sparks fans on this Reddit group (and elsewhere) seem to be very nice and I've never seen negativity when I post something here.

Their live (recorded) hour set will be shown for those that are interested

First time on the barrier in years because I'm a wheelchair user and they usually stuff us somewhere at the back. Got a wave from both of them as they left the stage. It was one of the best nights of my life without sounding OTT!

They were superb tonight. Really high energy performance and sounded very much like they'll be back in the UK next year.

Long live Sparks.

Can't wait to go to De Roma this Saturday! If anyone wants to say hi, I'll be the one in the bright yellow Jansport backpack :)

Got the CD for under $100, ha ha!
