We all love Talking Heads. We have to. They were the perfect combination of intelligence, fun, dance, art, rhythm, punk, funk, and pop. My perfect band. I have loads of rarities to post in the coming weeks. Here's the first:
Talking Heads - Love Is All Around (live at Jabberwocky, Syracuse, 26/01/77) (Open in a new window to download)
Better than the Wet Wet Wet version?

Which of the greatest hits albums should I buy?!!! Hahhahahaha - see how I can mock myself?...only getting in there before you do!
But seriously....I kinda like the Talking Heads, although I fear it could be like when I bought the Best of Roxy Music and I only liked a couple of songs! I understand that 'Fear of Music' is one of their revered albums....is it a good starter?

speaking as someone who favours talking heads over oxygen, it's difficult to for me to choose. I wouldn't recommend fear of music first, as genius as it is. i would suggest the first album 77 (cos its got psycho killer on it and everyone loves that), or remain in light (cos its got once in a lifetime on it and everyone and there mum loves that) or speaking in tongues (cos its my favourite).
roxy music released 2 great albums and then brian eno left, and they were not as good. a couple of years later eno produced 3 of the 4 best talking heads albums. say no more.
Thanks for the low-down....I have added those beauties to my amazon wishlist for future purchase.
I see that Speaking in Tongues has a cover of the world-famous Tom Jones hit, 'Burning down the house' - how novel ;-)
