Talking Heads top 5 albums (no live or comps).
Image

1. Fear of Music
2. Remain in Light
3. Speaking in Tongues
4. Talking Heads: 77
5. Little Creatures
This is yet another band Id need a challenge for
When you've done The Stranglers one give me a shout and I'll set up a Talking Heads one for you.
Yeah I'm behind on my assignments. The wife is away for a few days so I'll have some time to write up something on the Stranglers. As long as none of this is on the final exam I should be okay.

I really can't disagree with Marky's first four, but I'm a fan of the under-appreciated final album, Naked, so …

1. Fear of Music
2. Remain in Light
3. Speaking in Tongues
4. Talking Heads: 77
5. Naked

No love for French Revolution guillotine recipients? You're so anglo-centric.

Talking Heads is one of those bands that when I hear I really like them but have never really listened to them or their albums. Don't know why I guess I was into other bands at the time?

I was only ever a singles guy but my bandmate was a big fan and won me over.

3. Speaking in Tongues

I'll stop there. I really like Talking Heads but it's hard to compile a top 5 albums due to a small catalog plus Stop Making Sense and The Name of This Band is Talking Heads are both exceptional - those two are my favorite TH albums.

There's something fascinatingly ghoulish about "scientists" being present at guillotine executions looking for evidence of continued or last-second consciousness in the severed heads. Slapping the faces, yelling at them and the like.

I'm sure they could observe the very same thing Saturday night/Sunday morning in any English town at kicking out time.

Not as ghoulish as the fact that they still used the guillotine as recently as 1977!!!

Concurred. It's that rare occasion where live albums should maybe be allowed as they aren't just your average live albums. SMS especially is their crowning moment.

Well, it was invented to a more humane form of capital punishment, and strictly speaking it is the quickest form of execution. Which isn't to say I endorse it, but of the many nasty ways human beings have devised to execute criminals, it's the least painful or likely to fuck up as any other.
