Pick your favorite of my top 10 Sparks songs

except it’s 11 because cutting one more is too hard and it’s ~songs I’ve been really appreciating lately~ because my favorites are constantly changing and picking the songs I love the most overall is literally impossible

Curtis Mayfield (1942-1999) The Impressions - vocals; solo Songs: "People Get Ready," "Superfly" Defeated Opponents: Thelonious Monk, Nat King Cole Propaganda: none

Russell Mael (1948-) Sparks - lead vocals Songs: "This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us," "Beaver O'Lindy" Defeated Opponents: Jobriath, Keith Moon Propaganda: "the lead singer of sparks and the younger brother of ron mael, the main thing about russell besides him looking too damn pretty all of the time is his large vocal range, his range is like that of a soprano and to this day he can still hit high notes even in his 70s! he’s also known for his hyperactive onstage persona and is funny both on and off stage."

Visual Propaganda for Russell Mael:

Be right back putting these on my wall! (Lining my walls with a load of them, in fact.)

I'm smiling so much, thank you!

(big applause to @sparks-polls for hosting what was probably the most important vote in sparks history)

Ron remembered that he also had a bugsona in the year 2000.

(I'm sorry for this.)

ok so obviously there are 4 opinions you can have about Moash and Lirin.

Like or at least appreciate both of them and the nuances of their narratives (smart, sexy)

Hate them both (protagonist centered morality. fine tbh but not as interesting)

Like Moash and dislike Lirin

Like Lirin and dislike Moash

and I feel like 3 and 4 aren't as common but they almost always indicate the opinion-haver's philosophy.

Lirin and Moash are interesting opposites bc they stand on either side of Kaladin, (important loved ones who failed or betrayed him in some way) trying to convince him that their way is the right way to face injustice. Lirin with pacifism, Moash with violence. And I'm willing to bet that if you have a strong preference, it's for the character that agrees with your philosophy.

i'm new here, and i see this repeating theme in a lot of posts, so i need to conduct a poll to see how widespread the sentiment is:

note from OP: as of making this post, i have only seen up to s3. normally on my blog i ask people to avoid spoilers in the notes, but as i am expecting this might cause some scholarly debate, i will be muting the notifications on this post, so you can (and should) discuss to your heart's content, including citing any source scenes to suit your needs!
