Talking Heads '77

[DallasBiff]

I first heard this song, in 82, on WDVE Pittsburgh.

David Byrne was correct, run. run ,run, away, ayh, ayh, ayh, fa,fa fa.

I put on Stop Making Sense two days ago for no other reason that I liked it in college.

It’s really good musicianship.

Nothing to fantastic, but interesting - good art.

[BenLurkin]

Pretty sure the first time I heard the song it was this B-side version. Still like it better.

Psycho killer, qu’ est ce que c’est?

[AnotherUnixGeek]

I tried listening to “More Songs About Buildings and Food” the other day for the first time in decades. It reminded me of a great time in my youth. It also made me wonder what I ever thought was good about Talking Heads. Definitely not a band whose music held up for me.

Ouch, a Rhino remaster. Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away ... from just about any Rhino remaster.

[Lurker]

Remain In Light and Speaking In Tongues are amazing albums.

I like watching their live concert from LA back in the day on YouTube.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Not a fan of their later stuff, but early on it was a breath of fresh air (to me at least).

[VastRWCon]

I agree. Lately I have been listening to RUSH and WOW long time fan of both but relistening to older RUSH albums has blown my mind I’m addicted and I think I’m going bald. I’ll be 60 in July.

Qu’est-ce que c’est?

Qu’est-ce que c’est?

[stanne]

That’s where my mind went.

“What is it? What’s your problem?”

Saw them in ‘81 I think? At the Schaefer festival in Central Park. The B 52s opened.

[stanne]

? Great minds?

[ifinnegan]

I find them boring now.

Never listened that much anyhow.

Take Me To The River, an Al Green cover is probably their best song.

[ifinnegan]

I know.

A lot of great minds here.

I first heard this song as a 16-year-old in 1978. It blew me away. I had discovered a progressive rock radio station in Boston and it was like a breath of fresh air after getting inundated by the BeeGees and Disco on the pop stations.

My favorite track on the Talking Heads '77 album was Pulled Up. Such a quirky and catchy tune.

Soon after came the explosion of New Wave like Elvis Costello, B-52s, Blondie, Cars, Police, etc. It was a great time for music.

[struggle]

Remain in Light is one of the best and different albums ever made.

[Manuel OKelley]

Me of the best bands ever

I’ve managed to see them more times than I can remember and never disappointed

[thegagline]

I saw them in Forest Hill NY. Fred Schneider of the B-52s was about 4 rows ahead of me. I’m happy to report that we both loved the concert.
