i agree
absolutely brilliant band
A long overdue thread
they tested the boundaries of what musical creativity was by mixing it up with a whole lot of genres, from funk, jazz, soul, blues, gospel and to this so-called 'new wave' movement
the end result was quite astounding
another amazing thing was how it all came to life on the 'Citizen Kane of rock and roll movies' 'Stop Making Sense' where it showcased just exactly what talking heads was about, everyone got to sing, everyone played at least 2 instruments and of course, we got to see mr david byrne turn it on with a performance that almost misled you to thinking he was an actor. and his uncanny ability to change his appearance, by putting on glasses, the combing his hair back, and of course... who can forget that 'wide' suit
mr david byrne sure made a heap of money from being... mr david byrne
now there was a case of a guy who used crack for the purposes of good, rather than evil
oh wait... we dont know that... he said he'll tell us later
