Finally listened to Naked for a sixth time... pretty boring in the 2nd half; I felt like I'd never even heard it before.

Holden, I think you forgot to change the names in the introduction.

Some would argue it's a pity that live albums don't count, because Stop Making Sense is one of their highlights, but like this we don't need to choose between live and studio versions of the same song.

01 | Speaking in Tongues
02 | Remain in Light
03 | Talking Heads: 77
04 | Little Creatures

Albums:

1. Remain in Light (1980, my #35 album of all-time)
Music for dancing with your brain. The quintessential innovative band, the sound of Talking Heads was almost pure innovation. On their fourth album the confluence of the angular pop of their first offerings (here perfected in "Once in a Lifetime") and their peculiar brand of cold-funk created this groundbreaking work of art. Influences of world music, synth-pop, goth rock and ambient (courtesy of producer Brian Eno) added more interesting textures to the mix. Never dance music was (and will be) so cerebral.

Stop Making Sense (1984)
2. Fear of Music (1979)
3. Talking Heads: 77 (1977)
4. Little Creatures (1985)
5. SP EAK IN GI N TO NGU ES (1983)
6. More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978)
The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads (1982)
7. Naked (1988)
8. True Stories (1986)




Songs:

1. Psycho Killer (1977, my #53 song of all time)
Just at the height of punk-rock some bands abandoned the guitars immersed in overdrive, now they sounded clean, funk (but without the warmth), tense and nervous. The lyrics were no longer political and nihilistic but they retained the angriness and bizarreness. Here the hysterical but cool performance from the band meets a Byrne as the perfect impersonator of an Anthony Perkins-style psycho killer. My favourite song from this band had to be as simultaneously bizarre and catchy as this one.

2. Once in a Lifetime (1980, #206)
A claustrophobic tale about the estrangement coming with middle age, when you realize that you've been "letting the days go by."

3. Heaven (1979)
4. Road to Nowhere (1985)
5. This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) (1983)
6. Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On) (1980)

6) Talking Heads '77
7) True Stories

I starting in the wrong footing with Talking Heads, the first album I listened to was Remain in Light and I really didn't like it (and still am not a huge fan) and it took a long time before I dug further (partly because of discovering the songs I ranked here from number 2 to 4). Still then I stuck with the albums BEFORE Remain in Light, really liking only Fear of Music and it took probably 2 or 3 more years before I started listening to the albums AFTER Remain in Light that I tend to enjoy more.
