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

[Wazmankg]

Sarcasm?

No, I agree with your opinion about how Talking Heads music grows on one with repeated listens. That's the way it was for me with them when they were new. They came out of the NY club/underground scene and I liked a lot of those acts. But they really weren't like anyone else and it took me a couple of listens to really start appreciating them.

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..

The band that performed this masterpiece was probably the greatest assembled "group" in known history.

Inca Roads, Sofa #'s 1, & 2, Pojama People, & San Ber'dino are the shit!!!

ftr: the Mothers (through various lineups) have been around since the mid 60's though.

Well yeah but the iteration on that album was brand new.

One Size Fits All is my second favorite album of all time from any artist in any genre. (Steely Dan's Aja is #1)
Inca Roads is my most favorite song of all time from any artist in any genre.

Andy is another awesome song.

Hall and Oates. And if you disagree






Fuck you

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Hall and Oates.

Good call.

They certainly put out their share of good tunes back in the day.

I'll give them credit.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Has anyone mentioned the Tubes or the Ramones yet??

If so, right on...if no, let me be the 1st.

It's close.
One could make a case for Queen, and I would probably end up agreeing with them.
But one can also not deny the genius of David Byrne.

I like making threads in the style of @outofyourmind.

Uh, No. Aerosmith was better. So was Heart (at least up until "Dog & Butterfly). Maybe, Queen, but I'm not sure if they got together in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

Another shoutout for Canada....

Bachman-Turner Overdrive

Definitely a great band. Too bad they didn't last a few more years.
I'd put Journey, Boston & KISS in there, too. And, T. Rex! I think they debuted in the 70s.
