Legends. You take any of their songs from any point in their career and you simply cannot date it. Their music transcends time in a way 99.99% of acts simply do not.

I had never heard of this band and stumbled onto it just by being subscribed to the channel. At first I was kind of annoyed, but by Strange Animal I was delightfully confused, and then I was a fan by the end. I can't believe a band like this even exists.

seen the "From the basement" videos multiple times, watched as much concert footage from any point in their career as I can find, own most of their albums on vinyl (originals and demos), saw them live last March....the list goes on...they simply do not age musically (not sure they age as people the way we all do....damn Ron and Russell), they get better and better, if anything. Truly criminally underrated. Long live the Mael brothers.

Thanks to the team who puts these shows together. There’s nothing else out there that captures this vibe. Not even close.

Sparks had their first major release, “This Town Ain’t Big Enough For the Both of Us,” in 1974-HUGELY quirky! They have been making and releasing incredibly creative and quirky songs ever since and still do. Talking Heads got together in 1975, after Sparks were already releasing music. Talking Heads didn’t have their debut album until 1977. I think it may be more likely that Sparks influenced the Talking Heads/David Byrne.
