TALKING HEADS

The Best Of Talking Heads

$18.98 CD

Produced in association with the band, this single-disc collection gathers 18 hits and signature tracks, including "Psycho Killer," "Once In A Lifetime," "Burning Down The House," and "Wild Wild Life." Booklet includes rare photos and commentary by Moby, Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan, and Sire Records founder Seymour Stein.  

Formed in New York in the mid-'70s by David Byrne, Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth, and ex-Modern Lover Jerry Harrison, Talking Heads transcended their humble CBGB beginnings to become one of the most adventurous and influential bands of all time. Their visionary, polyrhythmic stew combined funk and punk with African beats, avant-garde minimalism, and pure pop. From their 1977 debut to their Brian Eno-produced classics to their 1988 swan song, Naked, Talking Heads consistently pushed creative boundaries while delivering smart radio hits like "Once In A Lifetime," "Burning Down The House," and "Wild Wild Life." In 2002 the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
