Are Talking Heads the greatest band that was formed in the 1970's/You decide

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Word. I'd take no joy in eliminating Black Sabbath from history.

But if it came down to that or Talking Heads, well..

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

I'd be remiss if I didn't post this tune....the lyrics are based on a buddhist prayer.

There's a city in my mind, come along and take that ride, yeah, it's alright!

So, I bought one of his art books and he signed it, but I also smuggled this bad boy in. After he signed the art book and we chatted for a minute, I pulled the set out and handed it to him. He let out a coy smile, looked around and then drew a tattoo on the baby's arm... A heart with an arrow through it and the initials D.B. in the middle. Hell of a coffee table book/conversation piece now. I love it.

Hah! That's awesome...

Have you listened to any of his solo stuff? I love this tune:

Not as much as the group stuff, but that's a nice one

 

[TheDayMan]

Love the talking heads, but the answer, without a shadow of a doubt is BLACK SABBATH.

[blindbaby]

Meh ... Bloody Well Right was cool.

Anybody say Steely Dan? Wasn't a big fan, but they had a couple goodens like Do It Again & Reelin in the Years..

Post #7 you post skimming sumbitch!

 

[Hank Kingsley]

The Clash need to be brought into this convo....Roxy Music, & ELO as well.

The Clash. Period.

 

[Omar 382]

This one is fucking awesome.

My favorite from them. "This Must Be The Place" may be a better love song than "God Only Knows" (only half-joking)

 

[Hank Kingsley]

In the southern rock vein of things, above all others imho are...

Allman Bros.
Little Feat

Filmore East and Waiting for Columbus are 2 of the best live albums ever.

 

[Myles]

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

What I find most of all intriguing about Talking Heads is, above and beyond all other bands, you hear one of their songs and think "Eh, it's ok. Kinda weird though." Then you give it a day to simmer on the pan that is your brain, and a day later you go back and listen to the same song and are all like "Fuck yeah! David Byrne is a fucking music genius!"

 

[Hank Kingsley]

I like some Black Sabbath, and I assume I'm in the minority here, but if I had to pick one band to erase from history, them or Talking Heads, people would be wandering around saying, "but, slinky..."

A few weeks ago I recorded the "very last" Sabbath concert from around 2015??

2 songs only. Iron Man and Paranoid. The rest are noise.

I recall in 1974 at UBC late one night my friend pumping a juke box full of quarters and playing Iron Man 20 times in a row. OR trying to anyway. Campus security showed up after 6 times and unplugged the unit.

 

[Wazmankg]

So the answer is either Queen or the Eagles.

That narrows it down.

Those would probably be the 2 most successful ones. I have 1 album by each, the Eagles Greatest Hits and I don't even know which one by Queen..maybe A Day at The Races. It was a birthday present from someone not very familiar with my musical tastes. The list of 70s group I like better than those 2 is a very long one.



Also, I think we need a ruling. A lot of groups posted so far actually were originally formed in the 60s.

That's it exactly.
