His This Town cover actually introduced me to Sparks in 2005, so I owe him a debt! He definitely has taste - his YouTube channel is interesting stuff. He unpacks music he finds interesting/likes (and occasionally doesn't like). Incredible live performer too.

They've definitely experienced a resurgence in recent years - for a number of reasons (Justin Hawkins' YouTube channel, Taylor Swift going viral singing along to IBIATCL, etc.). I've been going to The Darkness gigs for years (I'm a big fan) and the venues are getting bigger again.
