I am a fan of theirs from their 1994-present era.

There is various eras of Sparks

The beginning (their first 2 albums 1971-1972)

Their UK era (1974-1975)  Their trillogy of Kimono/Propaganda and Indiscreet

Their Return to America (Big Beat and Introducing Sparks)

Their electro era Number 1 in heaven and pernament jive

Their American alternative rock era (WHOMP THAT SUCKER/ANGUST IN MY PANTS/IN OUTER SPACE) Pulling Rabits out of a hat and then music you can dance to.

Their down period of Interior Design in 1988 that led them in the wilderness until 1993

With Gratuitious Sax and Senseless Violins (they have some hits like when do i get to sing my way, now that i own the bbc, and when i kiss you i hear charlie parker playing.)

Then they did a collab album called Plagerism with famous bands that loved them like faith no more and erasure.

Then we get the 2000 era of Balls, Lil Beethoven, Hello Young Lovers and Exotic creatures of the deep...

Then they did a Swedish Radio Opera in 2012 about Imigmar Bergman.

2015 gave us the collab album with Franz Ferdnand called FFS..

2017 was Hippopatamus.

2020 gave us A Steady Drip Drip

2023 Girl is crying in her latte

then 2025 is Mad!

Over 28 albums and almost 400 songs to choose from.
