1	Remain in Light (1980) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist The musical transition that seemed to have just begun with Fear of Music came to fruition on Talking Heads' fourth album, Remain in Light. "I Zimbra" and "Life During Wartime" from the earlier album served as the blueprints for a disc on which the group explored African polyrhythms on a series of driving groove tracks, over which David Byrne ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $6.50!
2	Speaking in Tongues (1983) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Talking Heads found a way to open up the dense textures of the music they had developed with Brian Eno on their two previous studio albums for Speaking in Tongues, and were rewarded with their most popular album yet. Ten backup singers and musicians accompanied the original quartet, but somehow the sound was more spacious, and the music admitted ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $6.50!
3	Fear of Music (1979) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist By titling their third album Fear of Music and opening it with the African rhythmic experiment "I Zimbra," complete with nonsense lyrics by poet Hugo Ball, Talking Heads make the record seem more of a departure than it is. Though Fear of Music is musically distinct from its predecessors, it's mostly because of the use of minor keys that give the ... see all copies from $2.97! new only from $6.52!
4	Talking Heads: 77 (1977) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Though they were the most highly touted new wave band to emerge from the CBGB's scene in New York, it was not clear at first whether Talking Heads' Lower East Side art rock approach could make the subway ride to the midtown pop mainstream successfully. The leadoff track of the debut album, Talking Heads: 77, "Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town," was a pop ... see all copies from $6.14! new only from $8.27!
5	Stop Making Sense [Special Edition] (1984) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist When the soundtrack for the classic Talking Heads movie Stop Making Sense was originally issued in 1984, it was only nine tracks in length, even though a total of 16 were performed on film. So when the film was re-released in theaters and on home video in 1999, a new version of the soundtrack was issued as well, including all 16 songs and sporting ... see all copies from $6.48! new only from $10.13!
6	More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist The title of Talking Heads' second album, More Songs About Buildings and Food, slyly addressed the sophomore record syndrome, in which songs not used on a first LP are mixed with hastily written new material. If the band's sound seems more conventional, the reason simply may be that one had encountered the odd song structures, staccato rhythms, ... see all copies from $6.46! new only from $8.25!
7	The Best of Talking Heads (2004) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Rhino's -- or, more accurately, Sire/Warner/Rhino's -- Best of Talking Heads follows 2003's box set Once in a Lifetime by a year, and it features the same remastering from that set. It also shares part of a title with the 1992 U.K. compilation The Best of Talking Heads: Once in a Lifetime, which was released the same year as the American double ... see all copies from $9.25! new only from $10.18!
8	Popular Favorites 1976-1992: Sand in the Vaseline (1992) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Featuring material from every Talking Heads album except the live The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads, Sand in the Vaseline is a terrific double-disc retrospective of the band's long and varied career. Featuring all of their hit singles and trademark songs ("Psycho Killer," "Take Me to the River," "Burning Down the House," "And She Was," "Once ... see all copies from $9.35! new only from $12.72!
9	Naked (1988) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Talking Heads' last proper studio album before their protracted breakup finds them returning to the dynamic that produced their best work, with inspired results. As swan songs go, Naked proves to be a pretty good one: Alternately serious and playful, it once again allows frontman David Byrne to worry about the government, the environment, and the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	Little Creatures (1985) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Talking Heads' most immediately accessible album, Little Creatures eschewed the pattern of recent Heads albums, in which instrumental tracks had been worked up from riffs and grooves, after which David Byrne improvised melodies and lyrics. The songs on Little Creatures, most of which were credited to Byrne alone (with the band credited only with ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.88!
11	True Stories (1986) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Time hasn't been kind to Talking Heads' ancillary soundtrack to David Byrne's oddball directorial debut. Though it generated one of the band's biggest radio hits ("Wild Wild Life"), both the film and its songs were dismissed as self-consciously quirky retreads of other, better material; and it's well-known the quartet was beginning to splinter ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.45!
12	Stop Making Sense (1984) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist While there's no debating the importance of Jonathan Demme's classic film record of Talking Heads' 1983 tour, the soundtrack released in support of it is a thornier matter. Since its release, purists have found Stop Making Sense slickly mixed and, worse yet, incomprehensive. The nine tracks included jumble and truncate the natural progression of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.00!
13	Talking Heads [DualDisc] (2005) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Talking Heads fans have been waiting a long time to have the band's eight studio albums remastered and reissued, but they may find that the long-awaited revamping of the group's catalog is somewhat problematic. Instead of being released as individual titles, all eight titles were boxed and reissued as an expensive set, Talking Heads Brick (this ... see all copies from $37.50! new only from $37.50!
14	The Best of Talking Heads: Once in a Lifetime (1992) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist For the holiday season of 1992 (and a year after they announced their split), the Talking Heads issued the excellent double disc anthology, Popular Favorites 1984-1992: Sand in the Vaseline, which combined rarities, hits, and key album cuts. While America got the double disc set, Europe received a streamlined, single disc collection, The Best Of ... see all copies from $3.61! new only from $3.61!
15	Once in a Lifetime [Box Set] (1992) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist Talking Heads are one of a handful of seminal rock bands whose catalog has been curiously overlooked in the CD era. Their albums have not been remastered, their legendary 1982 double-live album, The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads, has never made it to disc, and apart from 1992's Popular Favorites 1976-1992: Sand in the Vaseline, there has been ... see all copies from $25.90! new only from $25.90!
16	MTV Class of 1983 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The double-disc MTV Class of 1983 attempts to distill the essence of early MTV to 30 tracks from the biggest names and most popular one-hit wonders of that year. The approach works remarkably well, as the compilation features many new wave classics that effortlessly evoke 1983. The sheer size of MTV Class of 1983 distinguishes it from other new ... see all copies from $5.20!
17	Only Dance: 1980-1984 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist It's Only Dance 1980-1984 follows the pattern of JCI's It's Only series, offering a seemingly random collection of 20 hits from a given genre or style for a period of five years.These songs weren't necessarily the biggest hits of these five years, although there are a number of classics and smashes here. It may be hard to deduce exactly why these ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.83!
18	MTV Ibiza 2001 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist MTV Ibiza 2001 presents some of the year's most popular club singles, starting with the one-two punch of Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On" and Basement Jaxx's "Romeo." From there, the album heads in a fairly eclectic direction, spanning Orbital's "Funny Break (One Is Enough)," Depeche Mode's "I Feel Loved," a dub remix of Talking ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.01!
19	Only Dance 1985-1989 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist It's Only Dance 1985-1989 follows the pattern of JCI's It's Only series, offering a seemingly random collection of 20 hits from a given genre or style for a period of five years. These songs weren't necessarily the biggest hits of these five years, although there are a number of classics and smashes here. It may be hard to deduce exactly why these ... see all copies from $2.24!
20	Remixed (1999) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!
21	The Collection [EMI] (2007) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist EMI's 13-track Talking Heads Collection is the epitome of budget, relying on live versions of hits like "Burning Down the House" and "Psycho Killer" and unfamiliar album cuts to attract potential listeners. As far as studio versions of fan favorites go, "Radio Head" and "Love for Sale" from True Stories are solid, as is 1985's "Road to Nowhere," ... see all copies from $8.17! new only from $8.17!
22	Blind [Single] (1988) more music like this by Talking Heads add to wishlist see all copies from $8.99!
