There is a case to be made that the Talking Heads are among the first rank of American rock'n'roll bands. I wonder if now is the time to make it? Three indisputably great albums-- '77, More Songs About Buildings and Food and Remain in Light. A great, great live act. Enduring influence on the music, twenty years on. For some reason-- perhaps because their output as a band started to become more and more trivial before the end, perhaps because their post break up work has been mostly pretentious-- I haven't gone back to them in a while. I guess I should.
