#94. If I were to rate my favorite active bands based on the time frame between their first great album (of course, IMO) and their last, Sparks would be in the lead.
KISS have KISS Alive! (1975) and Music From the Elder (1981). The Rolling Stones have Beggars Banquet (1968) and Tattoo You (1981) (although if I was being generous I might stretch that out from Aftermath (1966) to Voodoo Lounge (1994). Wilco and Radiohead are still relatively new, so I wont use them as examples. But Sparks have Kimono My House (1974) and Hello Young Lovers (2006), separated by 32 years! In between those albums are many 5 star albums (Indiscreet, No. 1 in Heaven, Angst in My Pants) and plenty more where that came from.
Oh heck, just for today, let's say Sparks are my favorite band. They deserve it.
