Your top 3 favorite Talking Heads songs

1.psycho killer
2. life during wartime

 

I could choose these three and be happy with it...but it's so hard to choose only three songs from a band that had a string of near-flawless albums. I can't even choose 3 favorites from More Songs.

 

Thank You for Sending Me an Angel
Psycho Killer
Once in a Lifetime

 

The Lady Don't Mind
Pulled Up
The Great Curve

 

Very hard to pick just three, but...

Once In A Lifetime
This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)
Drugs

 

Someone has already said Side One Remain in Light, so I will say:

1. The Lady Don't Mind
2. Cities
3. City of Dreams

Hon Mention: This Must Be The Place

 

I Zimbra
Burning Down The House
Papa Legba

 

One of my favorites is Listening Wind from Remain in Light. A blog post discussing the album and the song: Listening Wind, by Talking Heads

 

Too hard to choose.

 

Psycho Killer
The Big Country
This Must Be The Place

 

Take Me to the River
Mr Jones
I Zimbra

 

Today..

Warning Sign
Love Goes To A Building On Fire
Drugs

 

This Must Be the Place
Life During Wartime
Crosseyed and Painless

 

Once In A Lifetime
Burning Down The House
Love Goes To Building On Fire

Take Me To The River would be on that list but they did not write it. Although theirs is the best version I have ever heard. A LOT of people do that song.

 

Not just people ...

Road To Nowhere.

(midway through the intensity of 'Psycho Killer' at their gig at Sheffield University in the late 70s, some wag in the crowd yelled "Smile Tina!". And she did. Wonderful moment.)

 

"It's summertime, boys…"

Was trying to see if it was possible to do a three least-favourite TH songs, but I can't say there are any songs of theirs I dislike. There're a few I find anonymous or forgettable (mostly songs on the first and last LPs) but nothing unlistenable. That's quite a feat!

 

And She Was
Once In A Lifetime
Wild Wild Life

 

Once In A Lifetime
Nothing But Flowers
Blind

 

I don't have three clear favorites but....

The Overload
Heaven
The Big Country
Psycho Killer
Naive Melody
Listening Wind
Thank You For Sending Me An Angel
....
My favorites are the second,third,fourth & fifth albums.

On a different note;the only song i REALLY dislike(don't know why) is Swamp.

 

This Must be the Place (this is like one of the best songs ever written)
Heaven (Stop making sense version OMG INCREDIBLE)
Warning Signs
