Little Creatures Year: 1985 Genre: Art-rock, New wave, Pop OM's rating: 7.7 TRACKLIST: 1. And She Was * 2. Give Me Back My Name 3. Creatures Of Love * 4. The Lady Don't Mind 5. Perfect World 6. Stay Up Late 7. Walk It Down 8. Television Man * 9. Road To Nowhere * * recommended by me The Highlight "And She Was" http://youtube.com/watch?v=JewPJPQJzZQ P.S. This is the most accesible Heads album by miles. The revolutionary sound that they invented at the end of 70s is gone. This is also the most controversial Talking Heads album. Disappointing, because the sound why people loved The Heads has disappeared, good, because it's something new. IMO, LC is certainly not a disappointment. A decent pop record, just not that great.

Stop Making Sense Year: 1984 Genre: Art-rock, New wave, Post-punk, Live OM's rating: 9.0 TRACKLIST: 1. Psycho Killer * 2. Heaven * 3. Thank You for Sending Me an Angel 4. Found a Job * 5. Slippery People 6. Burning Down the House * 7. Life During Wartime * 8. Making Flippy Floppy 9. Swamp 10. What a Day That Was * 11. This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) * 12. Once in a Lifetime * 13. Genius of Love 14. Girlfriend Is Better 15. Take Me to the River * 16. Crosseyed and Painless * * recommended by me The Highlight An unforgettable performance of Psycho Killer - Byrne solo + a cassette player. "You start a conversation, but you can't even finish it. You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything" Priceless. "Psycho Killer (live)" http://youtube.com/watch?v=FzEadbTCKDA P.S. This is an essential live album. Doesn't really hit the level of The Name Of This Band but still a very good album. Video footage was directed by Jonathan Demme ("Silence Of The Lambs")!!! note: Genius Of Love is a Tom Tom song.

Speaking In Tongues Year: 1983 Genre: Art-rock, New wave, Post-punk OM's rating: 8.0 TRACKLIST: 1. Burning Down The House * 2. Making Flippy Floppy 3. Girlfriend Is Better 4. Slippery People * 5. I Get Wild/Wild Gravity 6. Swamp 7. Moon Rocks 8. Pull Up The Roots * 9. This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) * * recommended by me The Highlight "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)" http://youtube.com/watch?v=68KLZCVFDQI P.S. Speaking In Tongues was the commercial breakthrough for The Heads as wikipedia reports. But this album somehow isn't really the level they set up with their first 4 studio LPs. Most songs on this album sound like b-sides to Heads' previous works, especially Remain In Light. Eno's absence was sensible. SIT still has it's highlights, though. Worth a listen for sure. Fun fact: Tom Jones feat. Cardigans covered "Burning Down The House"... The only good thing in this cover is Nina Persson, nothing else... DL: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38699

the sound quality is quite bad, but i can recognise some lyrics... "and our ??? will break through the ocean again and ??? freedom, no-one will complain" can someone help me recognise more???

shit... i can confirm this... it's on bbc.co.uk as well...

sounds like a snippet of a new song to me :stunned:

The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads Year: 1982 Genre: Art-rock, New wave, Post-punk, Live OM's rating: 9.7 TRACKLIST (expanded 2004 version): 1. New Feeling * 2. A Clean Break 3. Don’t Worry About The Government * 4. Pulled Up * 5. Psycho Killer * 6. Who Is It? 7. The Book I Read 8. The Big Country * 9. I’m Not In Love * 10. The Girls Want To Be With The Girls 11.

Stay Hungry 23. Cities * 24. I Zimbra 25. Drugs (Electricity) * 26. Once In A Lifetime * 27. Animals 28. House In Motion * 29. Born Under The Punches (The Heat Goes On) * 30. Crosseyed and Painless 31. Life During Wartime * 32. Take Me To The River * 33. The Great Curve * * recommended by me The Highlight Actually every song is a highlight here, but LDW has some special effect when it's played live. "This ain't no party, this ain't no disco" "Life During Wartime (live)" http://youtube.com/watch?v=2MYp0VIbwZk&mode=related&search= P.S. For me it's the best live album by a pop/rock band ever and one of the best overall. There's no weaknesses, nor "impotences" on this album, this is how a live rock album should sound like! Live Talking Heads = EAR ORGASM!!! DL: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38699

Remain In Light Year: 1979 Genre: Art-rock, New wave, Post-punk OM's rating: 9.8 TRACKLIST: 1. Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) * 2. Crosseyed And Painless 3. The Great Curve * 4. Once In A Lifetime * 5. House In Motion * 6. Seen And Not Seen * 7. Listening Wind 8. The Overload * * recommended by me The Highlight The video is just fucking awesome. "Once In A Lifetime" http://youtube.com/watch?v=EYbUCvz1LYE P.S. Talking Heads' best album apparently. With Remain In Light Talking Heads reached the pick of their career. A truly classic. Byrne's best lyrics can be found on this album. Last Eno-era studio album btw. DL: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38699

Fear Of Music Year: 1979 Genre: Art-rock, New wave, Post-punk OM's rating: 10.0 TRACKLIST: 1. I Zimbra 2. Mind * 3. Paper 4. Cities * 5. Life During Wartime * 6. Memories Can't Wait * 7. Air * 8. Heaven * 9. Animals 10. Electric Guitar 11. Drugs * * recommended by me The Highlight Choosing one song from one of your favourite albums of all-time is impossible. Fear Of Music is flawless. But probably, "Heaven" was the song that touched upon first listen... P.S. the lyrics are a bit different in this version "Heaven" http://youtube.com/watch?v=KEpUHnvfCzQ P.S. Fear Of Music is their best album in my opinion. It's also described as transitional for being "a bridge" between earlier, post-punkish and latter, more funky Talking Heads. Which Talking Heads is better? The truth is probably somewhere in between, on Fear Of Music. Dark, quirky, paranoid, realistic, beatiful. Tis a perfect album!

More Songs About Buildings and Food Year: 1978 Genre: Art-rock, New wave, Post-punk OM's rating: 8.8 TRACKLIST: 1. Thank You For Sending Me An Angel * 2. With Our Love 3. The Good Thing 4. Warning Sign * 5. The Girls Want To Be With The Girls 6. Found A Job 7. Artists Only 8. I'm Not In Love * 9. Stay Hungry 10. Take Me To The River * 11. The Big Country * * recommended by me The Highlight "The Big Country" Unfortunately that's the only footage of this song on YouTube. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ppvNNotJPe0 P.S. MSABAF is a very good follow-up to :77. Once again, Byrne's lyrics are as fine as lyrics can get. Not to forget Brian Eno's great work either, of course. This album is amazingly produced.

Talking Heads: 77 Year: 1977 Genre: Art-rock, New wave, Post-punk OM's rating: 9.5 TRACKLIST: 1. Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town * 2. New Feeling 3. Tentative Decisions 4. Happy Day * 5. Who Is It? 6. No Compassion 7. The Book I Read 8. Don't Worry About The Government * 9. First Week/Last Week...Care Free 10. Psycho Killer * 11. Pulled Up * * recommended by me The Highlight "Psycho Killer" http://youtube.com/watch?v=l5zFsy9VIdM P.S. "77" is probably one of the best debut albums the World has ever seen. Talking Heads invented a new style which can't be really compared to any specific genres. It's not really a pop, a rock or a punk record. It's a mix of everything. But probably David Byrne's lyrics is what makes this album fantastic. Even after 30 years it still sounds remarkable and refreshing. DL: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38699
