Re: Talking Heads

I liked the Talking Heads the first time I heard them which was their cover of "Take Me to the River". My favorite song by them is "Psycho Killer" & although this isn't the Talking Heads it is the Fools with one of my favorite parody songs...Psycho Chicken!!:



there was a new Rock Radio station coming to the Buffalo area in 1980 & for 1 week straight 24 hours a day before it went on the air they played that "Psycho Chicken" song

Tina Weymouth is the hottest female bassist, EVER!
She is great with the Tom Tom Club, too.

I love Tom Tom Club's cover of "Under the Boardwalk"!!

Re: Talking Heads

What's really incredible is that the Tom Tom Club, which was basically a light-hearted dance combo, could be launched as a side project by Tina and Chris Frantz who were regarded as hard-core punkers!

How about Tal Wilkenfeld who has been playing with Jeff Beck recently?

Remain in Light is an awesome record...



Once in A Lifetime is a classic but Crosseyed and Painless is also great
