Ooooooh yay one I can actually take part in.

1. Remain In Light


2. Speaking In Tongues (please add to OP, Cuba )
3. Fear of Music

4. The Name of this Band is Talking Heads
5. Stop Making Sense (if we were talking the film experience this shit would be number 1 easily. But, of course, we are not)

6. Naked
7. Talking Heads 77
8. More Songs About Buildings and Food


9. Little Creatures

They're all at least really cool. First 8 are varying degrees of amazing! One of the greatest bands and discogs ever.

Yet strangely I don't love any of them enough to put on my chart. Maybe I need to reevaluate my existence...?

Nonsense, why would I give 1983 any more of a boost in the BYT? No idea how I forgot about this, considering it's one of my favourites.

Since I've been wanting to explore punk, art punk, and post-punk outside of Bandcamp, I think hearing some more Talking Heads would be healthy for it. I've already heard Remain in Light, 77, and Fear of Music (best to worst). I'm no huge fan of Talking Heads, but I like post-punk, so I'll get try more from these guys for now.

Are we not doing "No Talking, Just Head" too? Pity, they were actually pretty good as "bands trying to flounder without a lead singer" go.

Anywho, I'm sure I've got a different looking chart from many, but meh, it's my legit tastes:

Overall chart:
1 Speaking in Tongues

Great:
2 Fear of Music
3 Stop Making Sense
4 Remain in Light

Really good:
5 Talking Heads 77

Pretty good:
6 True Stories
7 More Songs about Buildings and Food

A little better than average:
8 The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads

Average:
9 Little Creatures

Below average:
10 Naked

Give me time to think on songs.

I'm not really sure how to rank the live albums against their studio releases since they're really different animals, and the live albums are basically like greatest hits records.

Stay Hungry
This Must Be The Place
Heaven
Once In A Lifetime
Mind
Burning Down the House
Swamp
Tentative Decisions
Air
Warning Sign
