50 years old today, one of the greatest ever, bloody ell, I feel old.

Haven’t heard anything

I thought 'Kimono my house' and 'Indiscreet' were better. (Although Indiscreet didn't do nearly as well as Propaganda)

But yes, as a teenager I loved them in that period, and although I haven't really followed them since every time I do hear a Sparks track it's good, whatever the style.

Impossible to separate the big 3, however I was brought up on a diet of Halfnelson and Woofer which are even older!

Just how good they are! This bloody song kept me awake half the night and it’s from their worst album and their leanest era (late 80s)
I love the Thomas Dolby style intro.

Must have been 2017 they walked into my shop. They were very impressed that I knew straight away who they were, albeit they had aged since I purchased their music in the 70's. Nice chat and two great guys.

Can't believe it is now 12 years since I last saw them at the Brighton Dome with @Herr Tubthumper

For those who only know Ron as the stern faced keyboard player, worth looking up Ron Dancing videos on YouTube

Time flies. That was a great evening. I also saw them with Franz Ferdinand a few years later over here.

The Sparks Brothers film - directed by Edgar Wright - is an excellent watch.
