How did you first hear your favorite #bands?

My first exposure to Talking Heads was in Revenge of the Nerds.

Talking Heads: An older colleague who became a bit of a mentor to me was an ex-punk who recommended TH to me. I listened to Stop Making Sense but it didn't click - sounded very thin and dated. But I came across a copy of the DVD in Fopp, brought it home and was absolutely spellbound. I must have watched it about 15 times now. Later I read Rip It Up and Start Again and got heavily into the new wave/post-punk vibe and now I run a night where we play music from the new wave era exclusively.
