If you ever saw the movie "Rollercoaster" with George Segal and Timothy Bottoms and Helen Hunt as a young teenager. Sparks was the live band in the movie with the piano player throwing his piano bench around the stage ala Pete Townshend smashing his guitar. They also did a song on MTV in the early 80's with Jane Wieldlin from the Go-Go's call 'Cool Places'. They have been around since the early 70's and just released a new album which I don't have yet, but has been getting good reviews. They didn't get much airplay here, but in England they had some Top 5 hits with 'Talent is an Asset' and 'This Town isn't Big Enough for Both of Us'. Their best albums are 'Woofer in Tweeter's Clothes', 'Kimono My House', 'Propaganda', and 'Indiscreet'. I have most of their albums or cd's. If you wanna try one get 'Kimono' first. If you haven't seen 'Rollercoaster', rent it it is a great movie.

P. S. Sparks is the only band my mom banned me from playing when I was growing up because she couldn't stand the singer's voice. Of course I played it anyway. That's how I got my own record player for my room.
