My friends are partial to "Remain in Light," and I know that "Speaking in Tongues" was their most commercially successful album, but I always favored "More Songs About Buildings and Food." It really defined their sound moreso than their first album.

Kinda like Elvis C. where his second album "This Year's Model" was much more indicative of his future signature sound.

Remain In Light. It's produced by Eno and has Adrian Belew on guitar, with a mix like that , you can't go wrong!

this year's model is my favorite of e.c.'s. as for talking heads, i'm really partial to "naked"... isn't that strange? although "speaking in tongues" is a favorite, as is "remain in light."

The Name of This Band is Talking Heads-Remastered, Expanded edition

I'm also quite fond of the performance clip of Psycho Killer on the Old Grey Whistle Test Voulme 1 DVD. The announcer prefaces the clip by declaring that TH is a band that has no influ

Stop making sense.

Love the opening with the boombox and guitar while the rest of the band sets up.

All the others are #2

Speaking in Tongues!

Then, More Songs About Buildings and Food.

I always thought "Little Creatures" was one of their most mis-understood and under-rated albums. They had just gotten commercially big with "Speaking in Tongues" and some people thought Little Creatures was a backward step. I liked to think the album was

I only owned '77'. Found them way over rated.
