My Favorite Talking Heads Track

My favorite is This Must be the Place (Naive Melody). Burning down the house comes in close second, close to Sugar on my Tongue.

There are a lot of good covers like the one from Kishi Bashi

 

Once in a lifetime... will always be my fave!

 

'Once in a lifetime' followed by 'Take Me to the River'.

 

"Burning Down the House"

 

"heaven" always makes be blue.

I reminds me of a bunch of hard partying friends that I've lost over the years.

 

always an awkward fellow David Byrne
In his bestselling 2012 book, “How Music Works”, Byrne said he had border-line Asperger's syndrome, an autistic disorder often characterised by above-average intelligence and social awkwardness.



OP question- Burning Down The House

 

Psycho Killer, with Take Me to the River 2nd only because it was a cover

 

I haven't seen that video since the 80's, I didn't realize Johnny Marr was right there the whole time!

 

I love a lot of their music, but the song that most touched me when I saw Stop Making Sense, and the song that I still play, is Heaven.

 

Take me to the river. Sure its a cover, but their version is magic.

 

Great, and original band

 

Thank you for sending me an Angel (live) from SMS album/movie is my absolute favorite but their are really many

 

Life During Wartime

The sound of gunfire, off in the distance,
I'm getting used to it now

 

Take Me To The River, hands down best ever. I thought after MTV started to make everyone famous, if even as 1 hit wonders, music videos and how weird or entertaining they could be was the focus. Some of the videos were even horrible & the band/song probably was penalized by that. Take Me To The River is about the only song of the Talking Heads I'll even listen to anymore.

 

1978-UCLA -anybody here at this show? My buddy Frank Gallagher was FOH for the band for many years. I would help him out at times with staging when we crossed paths. I was tour managing the Dirty Angels who opened this show. So I worked double duty in helping Frank soundcheck the instruments this day. Tina's lil Red Mustang was fun. Chris and Tina super nice folks. Never really talked to David at all.
