Love Talking Heads - Some great songs spanning their entire history I love "Pulled Up" (in fact play this now very loud!), "Mind", "Cities", "Air", "Heaven", "The Great Curve", "Pull Up The Roots", "And She Was", "Walk It Down", "Wild Life" (seemed massive at the time). Some amazing songs, some not so amazing.

Me. Great band, Byrnes voice just fabulous and produced by the great Brian Eno in the early days who helped to create that unique sound.

Check out the official "The Name of This Band is Talking Heads" and of course the wonderfully filmed "Stop Making Sense" live DVD (great selection of tunes).

Brings back memories.....
Really good band, some great songs. One of my favourite OGWT clips - love the bass in this song. When was the last time time they played any gigs in the UK? I can't recall them playing any gigs over here to promote Little Creatures in '85 so it must have been before then?
