Edinpar Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Only recently started listening to them properly, but Talking Heads are fast becoming one of my top 5 favourite bands. Remain in Light is up there with my favourite albums ever and Stop Making Sense is undoubtedly the best concert film ever made. Outside of his solo performances of Talking Heads songs, I haven't listened to an awful lot of David Byrne's solo stuff as of yet, any suggestions? Side note, this is a cracking cover: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audaces Fortuna Juvat Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Great band. I suspect Franz Ferdinand may have listened to them once or twice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Phoenix Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm distantly related to David Byrne. True story. He's my late father's second cousin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 This Must Be The Place is my favourite Talking Heads track. I first heard it on the film Wall Street. How hot is Tina in this video? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, just seen Bogheads post from 14:24. I guess he was then... Yup, born in the Silverton area of the town, family moved to Canada when he was very little, 2 or thereabouts, off the top of my head.
