Sparks have also been namechecked by indie pop band the Smiths. Their singer Morrissey named "Kimono My House" as one of "his favourite LPs of all time". Smiths' guitarist and composer Johnny Marr said : "There’s nothing better than commerciality crossed with an interesting mind" and named "This Town Ain’t Big Enough for the Both of Us" as an instance, qualifying it as one of these "Trojan singles". Siouxsie and the Banshees recorded a version of the first Sparks' success as the opening song of their covers album "Through the Looking Glass". Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth also included the Sparks' song "Equator" in his list of all-time favorite songs. Joey Ramone also mentioned his liking for their records, as did later the group They Might Be Giants.
