more songs about buildings and food is a good one i think. they are one of those bands that are hit and miss with me.

Well, I'm not surprised. I think most people here don't really like much music at all.

krastian · 03.26.2008, 10:31 PM

Betrayal Takes Two is one of my favorite songs EVER!! Ha!

Everyneurotic · 03.26.2008, 11:08 PM

i really love 77 and remain in light, and have been meaning to check out food and buildings and fear of music.

krastian · 03.26.2008, 11:11 PM

Food and Fear are my 2 favorite Talking Heads albums....recommended!!

yeah listen to food next

Cantankerous · 03.26.2008, 11:28 PM

no no
get "the name of this band is talking heads"

you will not regret it

and it just doesn't sound quite right without the article in front of it because heads is plural.

batreleaser · 03.26.2008, 11:52 PM

dont tell me im not into a lot of music because i dont like talking heads, thats one band.

i consider everything from leanord cohen to the wipers to beefheart to ornette coleman to wu tang to slayer to merzbow to curtis mayfield all to be some of my favorites, just because i dont enjoy the music of one band does not mean my taste is small or limited.

i agree but i fail to see what black flag has to do with those bands?

uhler · 03.27.2008, 12:41 AM

i just felt this thread needed a mention of black flag.

rollins called me up and yelled at me that i haven't done my daily mention of black flag on the sonic youth board.

fugazifan · 03.27.2008, 02:40 AM

as mch as i love damaged and a few other songs most of BF's output was crap.
talking heads are waay better.
i love the talking heads
favortie albums are
more songs
remain in light
the name of the band (vinyl)
fear of music (although it has their worst song on it-heaven)
tied with that are speaking in tounges and 77

you have to see stop making sense
its amazing!

I'd like to take this chance to point out that Robert Quine sucks more than looking after a rat with hepatitis. Talking Heads are also more boring than watching an Eastenders omnibus.

Rob Instigator · 03.27.2008, 11:01 AM

I fell in love with the first talking heads record a decade ago. I love their music. They do what they do. melodic, weird lyrics, enjoyable songs.

blank generation is OVER-RATED

Your Friend's with Cantanky?

black flag > talking heads

that goes without saying, the jealous again ep alone is better than most of the cbgb's crowd entire discographies combined.

Rob Instigator · 03.28.2008, 09:19 AM

I know I will get my ass chewed up but Black Flag's albums are nearly as boring as Blank generation, and they do NOT hold up at all copared to talking head's first 4 albums.

fuck black flag. MOST OVER-RATED PUNK BAND EVER.

I admire their ehos, and their DIY aesthetic, and what they accomplished but their music is BORING and 90% SUCKS.

the exploited are the most overrated punk band ever.

i can understand you not liking black flag, but calling them boring is something else.

compared to black flag, talking heads are like the new kids on the block.
