Weird. :thinking:

My greatest challenge is not what’s happening at the moment, my greatest challenge is knocking Aretha Franklin right off their f****g perch. And you can print that. - David Byrne.

5/5.

  1. Absolutely massive big ol’ 5.
    Ridiculously strong if you take a best of, a deep dive into their albums or the best concert film and album of all time.

I enjoy listening to the recorded output of ‘The Talking Heads’ very much

Changed my mind.
3. Amazing singles and I love born under punches, but never managed to finish an album.

#14

Born Under Punches would be my actual pick for song, or The Great Curve.

Barely knew anything about them until American Utopia, but had a friend who was dead keen on seeing the tour and I’d read fantastic things about the show so decided to take a punt. Short version… Easily a top 5 of all time gig and Talking Heads are now one of my favourite bands.

Also, David Byrne wrote How Music Works, which should be required reading for all humans.

I fucking hate them. But there’s no way they’re not a 4 or even a 5.
