Obviously, I'm biased, but what do you think about the Talking Heads?

I've been through some phases. I'm 31. I've been through every kind of phase I could have been through. But nothing has hit me as hard as the Talking Heads.

Still waiting!"


One of the all time greats. Remain in Light is an absolute masterpiece.

I really enjoy them although I haven't listened to a huge amount of their music at all. The only album by them that I own is the live album Stop Making Sense. It has most of the big hits that I really wanted. What other albums would you recommend checking out if I wanted to expand my knowledge of them?

I've actually listened to a lot more of David Byrne's solo stuff than I have the actual Talking Heads. Rei Momo. Feelings. Look into the Eyeball. Grown Backwards. These are the albums I have. I find that some of the songs on the albums are absolutely fantastic, and some are simply total trash. It's either some kind of extreme for me.

ETA: Ok. So I guess I should buy Remain in Light.

Talking Heads are not only one of my favorite bands, but I think it's the only band the Music Board can collective agree on

Great band. I continue to be amazed that RISD alum could turn out to be pretty funky.

David Byrne is one strange individual but the talking heads would never have been as great as they are without his unique style. Great band

this is true. I grew up on them when I was very young and in the last 4 or 5 years have really come back around to them. David Byrne is a genius.

I wasn't much of a fan of theirs when I was younger....but as I've gotten older, I've gotten to really appreciate and love their music.

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - burn with a weak heart
(So I) guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing


When I need a pick-me-up, nothing does it better than The Talking Heads.

Great lyrics, great music. David Byrne's solo stuff is great too.
