Talking Heads formed in 1974. They are one of the most adventurous bands in rock history. Their sound draws from funk, minimalism, and Brazilain/African music to create a totally unique and visionary sound. The Talking Heads emerged from the New York sound scene, the same scene that brought us the Ramones, Blondie, and The Strokes.
The Talking Heads had a sound that was quite different, though, it was artsy and abstract. Figures this coming from 4 college educated art students! They approaced their music like a blank piece of canvas, and let the first line dictate where the next line was going. Very spontaneous in their music.
My favorite album is "Speaking in Tongues"
check out Tina Weymouth on the bass! She still rocks
