Johndenis Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) 46 minutes ago, Superscally said: Talking Heads: 3 Arcade Fire: 2 However...and again, in my opinion, assuming the general public will only listen to the Radio 1 of their time...but Arcade Fire are just better. Their two mega hits are as good as Psycho Killer and Road to Nowhere and Once in a Lifetime, despite being big, is shit. It's their Everything Now. Arcade Fire's first three albums decide the war. They win. Talking Heads are more like 6 - the ones you've mentioned but also Naive Melody (I DJd a wedding last night and it was specifically requested), And She Was, and Wild Wild Life. I'd bet most folk would know Burning Down The House as well. I feel like Arcade Fire have plausibly 2 or 3 on this sort of scale but I'm not sure what they objectively are. Power Out and Rebellion? (Everything Now is a dud and I don't think anyone enjoys it without thinking of Abba or wondering if the pan pipes are somehow taking the piss.) Funeral is a mighty artistic statement yeah but I don't think it blows fear of music and/or remain in light out of the water.

I listen to a wide range of stuff, I'm 43 and I've never heard of those songs. Not dissing Talking Heads, clearly a good band, but not massively in the public consciousness and AF of course are current, which is always an advantage. I was thinking Rebellion and Wake Up as my two... Of course, I could go down the rabbit hole and pull out way more, but I think that most people who listen to mainstream radio have heard these.

Give the ones I've mentioned a listen, there is not a chance a 43 year old music fan has never heard them. Naive Melody especially, its a massive song. You might not recognise the song titles. Talking Heads are a bit like New Order that way ("Temptation" should probably have been "up down turn around" 😂) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard a great deal of Talking Heads but the lad I do the show with likes them a lot and every time he plays some or I come across some like on here I always think i'm going to check them out more.
