Most people I know who aren't vegetarians would put it at the top of any list, maybe fighting with bacon and Snickers bars for the top spot. Crusher, can we get a ruling here?

The Talking Heads should be considered one of the greatest american bands in the history of this country with David Byrne as one of the greatest american song writers of our generation and instead, I think they're viewed as just a cool band to like because they were once the house band at CBGB and do weird sh*t in their music videos.

Agreed. I think they were so different than their contemporaries that the fact they were producing incredibly brilliant music was lost and its just now that people are recognizing they were good but not great. I sort of relate them o the Pixies. IMO by far the best band to come from the "grunge era', even though their sound at times was completely different and maybe more influential to the movement but you never hear them mentioned in the same vein as Nirvana or Pearl Jam and only now are being recognized for being good but not the great band they were/are. At least that's my experience with those 2 bands who are probably top 5 favorite all time artists for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I need to hang out with more hipsters. TH was a great band but they weren't anywhere near The Who. Pretty funny that rest of the band hated Byrne and the felling was mutual. Like a lot of bands, like Joey and Johnny Ramone, lots of bands consist of people who hate each other's guts forever but stick together for the $. But Big Picture -rock bands are different in that not many businesses lock people into the work group or friends they have at 18-22 until their 50s and 60s.

nicg4360 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Talking heads were great. Had they featured half naked women in their videos and more demeaning lyrics to those said women they would have reached super stardom. Thank god they were real artists.

At least that's my experience with those 2 bands who are probably top 5 favorite all time artists for me. So many bands over the years do not get the recognition they deserve. I'm not a big TH fan but I understand what you guys are saying, the talent is obviously there. For Instance look at bands like Symphony X, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, And now Neil Morse most people don't even know who those bands are yet they have die hard fan bases. Yes I am a big Progressive Rock/Metal fan which started with bands like Pink Floyd, Kansas, Rush and Yes they just don't get the air play anymore because the music industry is a joke. I called a DJ here in Dallas once to get him to play a new Dream Theater song back in 2000 off the Album "Metropolis II Scenes From a Memory" and he told me he was a huge fan of the band but he could not play the music because his station would not put it on their play list, pretty sad if you ask me.

BTW those media giants they are huge corporations who have media as part of their agenda. Its all alternative media for me and has been for about 20 + years. I will never tune into Fox News, MSNBC or CNN it makes my stomach turn and its disgraceful to the so called american way of life now over run with monopolies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Has anyone taken notice on how the services like Amazon Prime, Google Play and NetFlix are now forcing you to subscribe to HBO or Showtime (or some other sevices) just to be able to watch a move that's been out on DVD for months ? I tried to watch Tarzan the other night because there was nothing else to watch and in order to watch it I had to subscribe to (I think it was Showtime) a channel or pay 19.99 . Whats sad about this is that if you try to watch it on Amazon and they try to force you to subscribe well then so do the other services. How do these pricks get away with this ?
