ABOUT THE ARTIST
Talking Heads was an iconic American rock band, formed in 1975 in New York City by David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison. Known for blending punk, art rock, funk, and world music, the band became a pivotal force in shaping the new wave movement of the late ’70s and ’80s. With hits like “Psycho Killer,” “Once in a Lifetime,” and “Burning Down the House,” Talking Heads earned critical acclaim for their innovative sound, avant-garde style, and intellectual lyrics. Frontman David Byrne’s distinct voice and stage presence made them unforgettable live performers, with their 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense regarded as one of the best of its genre. Talking Heads’ experimental approach and genre-defying albums, like Remain in Light, continue to influence modern music.

HEADS UP: The section between 13:33 – 13:46 had to be muted for copyright reasons. Apologies for that! If you want to watch this video without any muted parts, you can find it over on Nebula 👀

I'm autistic, and I'm tired of people using it as an excuse for David Byrne. Being autistic doesn't make you a glory hogging credit stealing sexist jackass.

The sound cutout around 13:35 followed by the screenshot of a news article titled "Does Bruno Mars is gay?" Is baffling and I love that. I need to know the context.

Also the name of the song Radio Head comes from a Chico buarque’s song!

This may be too late but I'm personally offended by the mention of Steve lilywhite coming with the omission of XTCs Drums and Wires
@BrandonGates

Everyone seems to rate Naked as the worst record, but I agree with this dude. I think it’s much better than True Stories and sometimes I prefer it to Talking Heads 77.

The "closer" on 77 is Pulled Up. Not "Pulling Up".

Sax & Violins my most fav TH songs from the OST of "Until The End of the World". Also on a 92 greatest hit's album which is how I fully got into them.

Eno collaborated with Bowie but he never produced him… Tony Visconti did !

May 5, 2026 at 9:14 pm
Speaking In Tongues and Little Creatures are both amazing! The song “And She Was” is a masterpiece in my little opinion!!!!

Talking Heads created 5 works, their first albums with a consistency only matched by Pink Floyd and King Crimson, Frank Zappa is already in a different league, with Stravinsky and little more.

Little Creatures is so incredibly underrated

While Tina and Chris were complaining about not getting credit on Talking Head material, they were busy stiffing Adrian Belew on his contributions to Tom Tom Club's material.
