There can never be too many list threads as far as I'm concerned. I didn't know you were into Sparks. I only have two of their albums (Introducing & Indiscreet), but I'd like to get more. They're not really what I'd generally consider to be my style, but I do find Introducing to be a very fun listen & I'd like to hear more in that vein. | |
