Wow, PowerPoint as an artistic medium. Only he could think of that. What was the nature of the presentation (or was that the entire presentation)?The Talking Heads, in my opinion, are one of the best bands that hit their stride in the 80’s. I love them.
I met David Byrne, and listened to a presentation he gave on using the computer program PowerPoint as an artistic medium. Sounds stupid, but it was great. The guy is brilliant.
That said, trying to name them the best band out of the 70’s is a damn tough sell.
Meh ... Bloody Well Right was cool.What??! No mention yet of the incomparable Supertramp??

In the southern rock vein of things, above all others imho are...
Allman Bros.
Little Feat
Disclaimer: although a few of my picks were technically "formed" in 1968-9...they really didn't "arrive" on the scene, or become known to the public until the 70's.
The Cars
This thread is on a road to nowhere.

That was it. He'd created a bunch of art pieces using powerpoint, displayed them on a screen and talked about using it as a medium.
Underlying message was that good art is intended to express and/or evoke emotion and it can be created in a lot of ways. Don't be bound by limitations.
"look at someone who is great at charcoal art. people don't look at their work and say, man, that would be so much better if you'd used colored pencils. They created something beautiful within the limitations they'd set."
"look at me, you likely know me -- or were at least introduced to me -- through my work with Talking Heads. I love and can produce many genres of music beyond pop/rock, but pop/rock music was the medium I was working within."
I went in to the deal pretty skeptical, but it was fascinating.
