Editorial Reviews
Formed in NYC in the mid-'70s by David Byrne, Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth, and ex-Modern Lover Jerry Harrison, the Talking Heads evolved out of their now-legendary humble beginnings at CBGB's to become one of the most adventurous and influential bands ever. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, the Heads' visionary, polyrhythmic sound daringly combined funk and punk, African beats, avant-garde minimalism, and pure pop. From their 1977 debut through their Brian Eno-produced classics to their '88 farewell, Naked, they both pushed artistic boundaries and delivered indelible radio hits like "Once In A Lifetime" and "Burning Down The House."

Both experimented across a wide range of music. Guitarist Adrian Belew is the connecting link between the two groups, having contributed some work to Heads' "Remain In Light" album and touring with them. He then joined a reunited King Crimson for 3 albums in the early 80's as their lyricist/singer, and these three sounded very Talking Heads-ish.
All their best songs are collected here, and it's one of the best greatest hits albums I own. If anything is under-represented, it's their brilliant third album "Fear Of Music", which is my favorite. Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp appears on the record. I'd suggest getting it as a supplement for a better-rounded picture.
David Byrne has continued since their disbandment, but has never been as good as this again. They really were better collectively than individually, and are the number one band that needs to get back together. In their time they were arguably the best group around.
I've changed my hair style so many times now I don't know what I look like.
