Arrow Sparta vs The Mars Volta

This has been a long running argument between me an a few of my mates. Who is better the Mars Volta or Sparta? In my opinion it is the Mars Volta are better, i've seen them live an the gig was amazing!

Help so this long disputed argument can final be stopped.

no contest, mars volta. they're more exciting and take more risks. sparta are great but aren't doing anything exciting or new. it's just jim ward carrying on where he left off with at the drive-in, he's not moved on in anyway.

Yeah Mars Volta are being progressive just now. Everything they make sounds new and its that one aspect that makes they're music so much greater than other, shitter bands.

Sparta's alright

probably inertiatic but i haven't heard mars volta in moshulu so couldn't say. inertiatic would be the obvious one to play i guess.

i like both but at the moment the mars volta i think are more exciting and experimental,(especially live)their album is fantastic,i think sparta are a good solid band but the mars volta have taken risks and it has definitely paid off.

(inetiatic esp. always gets played at moshulu)
