I don't get it. I've tried listening to these guys and it just sounds like over produced, over synthesized, drum machine stuff similar to Devo. I really don't hear any melody in any of their songs. I can't understand the fascination with this group.

@canadianstudmuffin Месяц назад

You described about 5% of their sound. You'll find something you love if you keep listening. P.S. Most of their albums have superb production.

@DonaldMains Месяц назад

@@canadianstudmuffin But the 5% I'm listening to is Propaganda and Kimono My House, according to most,. and you, their best two albums. If I find those two albums unoriginal and repetitive where do i find better stuff from them?

@canadianstudmuffin Месяц назад

Try their recent best of compilation called Past Tense. I am just saying give them a chance like I did and many others have... but perhaps they are not for you. Not everyone is going to love the same music.

@jesuschambers Год назад

Massive Sparks fan just like yourself. My favourite has always been: Big Beat. It's got clever lyrics and hard rocking sound that's different to their other albums. I know it's not their best(Kimono, Propaganda and Indiscreet are) but I love it!🎸

@broederbond60 Год назад

Big Beat is endlessly listenable. My favorite tracks are White Women and Throw her away and get a new one.

Thank you for compiling this ranking of your favorite Sparks albums. I must say, it's because of you that I have become a fan of Sparks. Prior to discovering your channel, I was only familiar with the song "Cool Places" which they dueted with Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's. I plan on seeing them at the Hollywood Bowl next month, can't wait !! Thank you Larry!!

Excellent ranking. I'm delighted with their new album and it is the perfect length. I thought the last two proper albums were just a bit too long. My no. 1 album is Indiscreet which just brilliant in it's diversity.

@AnthonyKiyola Год назад

I really enjoyed this. I just watched the Sparks Brothers movie and loved it. I knew almost nothing about them and had never even heard of them before discovering your channel 7 years ago. The movie was so engaging plus Ron and Russel are so likeable. I think I will start listening to their albums.

@tomanderson9202 Год назад

Impressive you could do this all over again with newer additions! I never could as you know :P but many of them I would also agree for top 10 and 5 as well at least. For me one of the greatest sensations with music is discovering it and then rediscovering it later on. I call the latter the ‘golden era’ because that’s when you really start to appreciate the artists and their music, even more than the first time whether you already did, kind of did or didn’t as much; you usually dive deeper into it too as a result. For me I was glad to get back into these guys after seeing their new song from Cyriak’s channel: ‘The Existential Threat’, which is a blast in itself. It put me back onto Sparks and the trip was well worth it, and made even better when listening to you and a few others who also like the band talk about it as well. So, like many other bands and artists still going today, I think we are in for some very interesting and enriching times musically. Especially with how this music from the previous century carries over into the next, and stands out from it too.

@maxroskilly5006 Год назад

Heya Larry! You got me into Sparks way back when I discovered your channel in 2018! Indiscreet is definitely Top 3 for best glam rock albums of all-time, and Girl Is Crying... is a great album! By no connection, I got huge into Todd Rundgren through the years so it's pretty cool he produced the Halfnelson album. The duo always remind me of you and what it means to be a music fan - cheers Larry!

My ranking changes all the time. If I had to rank at this moment… 1. Lil Beethoven 2. Whomp That Sucker 3. In Outer Space (this one has grown on me a lot over the years. I love the production and fun songs) 4. Angst in My Pants 5. Propaganda 6. Introducing 7. No1 In Heaven 8. Big Beat 9. Kimono My House 10. Halfnelson 11. Indiscreet 12. Balls 13. Pulling Rabbits 14. A Steady Drip 15. Hello Young Lovers 16. Exotic Creatures 17. Hippopotamus 18. Latte (only listened to it once so it might grow on me more. Still love it) 19. Woofer (simply not listened to it enough. It could climb upon more listens) 20. Gratuitous Sax 21. Music That You can Dance To 22. Interior Design 23. Terminal Jive 24. Plagiarism

@pleasureofthegreat 10 месяцев назад

Great video. I like how you say what your favorite songs are on each album; it gives the viewer an idea how their taste lines up with yours. Your ranking list, of the ones I've seen out there, most closely aligns to mine, but of course everyone's list is going to be different. For me, the first 5 albums (Sparks to Indiscrete) are above anything else they've done. Not that they haven't put out great albums after that, but I could listen to every song on those first 5 albums and be excited when each one started playing. I think Big Beat is a dud, except for the bonus tracks, which obviously weren't recorded at the same time as the album, totally different production. Introducing is ok, #1 in Heaven is glorious, Terminal Jive is a letdown, Whomp/Angst/Outer Space are great 80's new wave, and then the next 3 albums are a bit of a bummer before picking up again with Gratuitous Sax. Beethoven is a nice gear, Lovers is good to, but then just skip to Hippopotamus for things to get really good again. Ok, ALL the albums are good, but if I were to be critical and give a percentage for each album, where this percentage indicates the number of great tracks on the album, some albums dip as low as 30% and the great ones go to 80%...only the first 5 and maybe Heaven get 100%

I still have Propaganda slightly above Kimono at the end of the day, but it is a tough call. Kimono is a definitely a more perfect album, I just like the songs on Propaganda a lot more. Not only that, I think the songs on Propaganda are so much cooler and so much more weird, but yes you've made me think about my personal ranking. There is no album in history like Kimono My House, and it is much more accessible than Sparks' later albums. They should have just released a double album at the end of '74, both albums combined.

I actually don’t think TGICIHL is quite as good as Hippopotamus or A Steady Drip, Drip. But It’s still a great album & continues the renaissance of Sparks. These recent 3 albums have certainly brought Sparks a new audience and lots of positive attention. But, of the 3, I’d put A Steady Drip as No 1. Where would I put the new one in terms of the discography? Certainly in the top 10. And A Steady Drip would be at least in the top 5. Kimono My House will always be my No. 1.

I find the electronic stuff mostly boring. The synthetic sound lacks personality in my opinion. But… I kinda dig number 1 song in Heaven. That early Giorgio-synthetizer-stuff sounds very unique. Only 6 songs, but they are all great compositions. But I digress. The first two albums are VERY quirky and fun. My fave is Woofer in Tweeter’s Clothing. Kimono, Propaganda and Indiscreet are brilliant too, probably the first one comes next. Then No 1 Song. Then Introducing and then Big Beat. Later on, they do have great songs here and there, but personally I wouldn’t bother listening to any of their albums after 1979.
