Outstanding music, perfect style, brilliant lyrics, unique performance- to name but few many of Sparks` terrific features. SPARKS has made 18 studio albums. The last album called "Balls" was released in 2000. Detailed information about Sparks can be found in SPARKS section of this website.

NB: QUEEN for me is Freddie Mercury first of all. The group existed for 20 years precisely- from 1971 to 1991, when Freddie died because of AIDS. Outstanding voice, bizzare and bold experiments with sound, great concerts, terrific videos. QUEEN released 15 studio albums (if we don`t count Greatest Hits and live recordings). The last album called "Made In Heaven" was released in 1995 after Mercury`s death. Mercury recorded 2 solo albums- Mr. Bad Guy (1985) and Barcelona (1988).

NB: PLACEBO is definately one of the most talented and interesting alternative groups ever existed thanks to its leader and author of all PLECEBO lyrics Brian Molko. The band was created not so long ago- in 1994, but PLACEBO albums were of success thanks to famous song called "Pure Morning" and especially video that was shot on this song. Piercing voice of Molko, crazy rhythmes, bold lyrics "at the edge", provocative appearance- all this play in favor of PLACEBO. But many talk about drugs and their influence on PLACEBO. The band released 3 studion albums (the last one called "Black Market Music" was released in 2000).
Band parcticipants: Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal, Steven Hewitt
