The Name of This POLL Is...- ILM artist poll #82 - TALKING HEADS - (voting is open until Sunday March 26, 2017)

if you like SMS I think you'd love TNOFBITH, although I adore SMS for the sheer performance of it. Still need to see Live In Rome 1980

Voted.

I watched Stop Making Sense on Thursday and I'm wondering if a verdict was made on whether "What a Day That Was" counts

Of course it does. "Big Business/I Zimbra" from the extended set will be on my ballot.

I couldn't not vote for it despite the ambiguity. The Catherine Wheel version is good but the Talking Heads version on Stop Making sense takes it so much further, it's one of their very best

Voted. Fully expect my #1 to be the overall #1, but threw a few votes to things which may get overlooked.

Aw, crap! I forgot "what a day that was" because I was going to rep for it on the solo ballot, which I ended up not doing.

ran across this recently. it may be familiar to all of you but it's new to me:

"Talking Heads vs Television", a BBC4 doc with lots of performances (and no footage of the band television, in case you're wondering)

Voted!

In all the re-listening, I finally realized that "Lifetime Piling Up" is the same song as "Carnival Eyes" on Rei Momo

another round of confirmations emails are on their way.

VOTING is still open.

sent!

That TV doc Karl posted is amazing. I didn't know about it all. The missing link between the Remain In Light tour and SMS. It was made for the independent Channel 4 btw, nothing to do with the BBC. Channel 4 broadcast loads of cool docs like this in the early 80s.

I was fractionally too young to be able to go to the 1982 Wembley Shows. I was hoping they'd come back to the UK some day but that never happened :(

Sent!

How many hours left?

TH has been a favorite band since fifth grade — a bit too late (1990, shortly before their disillusion was announced, and then I was confused and hopeful at the release of "Sax and Violins" on the Until the End of the World OST).

I'm mainly curious to see how the TTC/Byrne solo stuff does; as far as the TH poll everything from the first five albums deserves to place, it's just a question of the order. (77 places would make room for most of the band's catalogue — the question would be which songs from the last three or four albums don't make it.)

my bad, but good to know! i just believed the youtube description, which is definitely right at least 15% of the time

I wonder how many people think "David Byrne sucks solo" yet have never heard The Catherine Wheel.

You know, they were okay, but I had forgotten about them. Didn't know he produced it or whatever.

Wait, you say you were talking about what?

oh man, do i feel

I've really gotta sit down and listen to The Catherine Wheel

tempted to really test the limits of propriety with a liquid days vote

so looking forward to the results roll out.

Know what's great on The Name Of This Band? Memories Can't Wait.

This is a) true b) the reason MCW is on my ballot

c) this will ruin it for you: https://www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/talking-heads-memories-can-wait-tab-s64715t1

I love how TNoTBiTH elevates Fear of Music tracks, but the RiL stuff is just bad. Mostly, I love TNoTBiTH for A Clean Break.

almost forgot about this, slapped it together very quickly

sent

Sent mine too

Submitted.

I've found live versions re-igniting enthusiasm for RiL this week, by emphasizing different elements from the tightly-packed studio arrangements that have grown familiar over decades.

Re TNoTBiTH, it's certainly responsible for "Love->Building On Fire" being on my ballot. Loose and smeary works there IMHO. And, yep, "A Clean Break" too.

sent!

I Can't believe A Clean Break isn't on any of the studio albums. I'm sure I've heard it somewhere other than TNOTBITH

I'm listening to the first disc now, and while the second disc is indeed amazing, this one just has so much raw energy and enthusiasm. band is tight AF and Byrne is on it like a car bonnet

hi Bee OK, did you get my ballot?

i will be sending out another round of confirmation emails but yeah i got it.
