John Taylor's bass playing is some good shit.
Cameron Powell
OP here I legit got cucked by the drummer from Japan, so now I can't even listen to them.
William Cooper
Everybody was jealous of them.
Every other band under the sun in the 80s saw them as competitors regardless of the genre, so they made sure to tarnish their name by calling them vapid/shallow/commercial/gay/uninspired etc... until it eventually ended up convincing the public that it was the case for decades to come.
Nathan Davis
SAVE IT TIL THE MORNING AFTER
this
New Religion best track btw
Wyatt Brown
Probably has to do with them not being even remotely close to as good as Talking Heads.
Benjamin Wood
the patrician man is a self-important faggot who can't handle fun
Logan King
god is there anything close to sylvian's vocals?
his solo stuff and sylvian/fripp are fucking insane
too bad he prefers to jerk with some ambient nowadays
Planet Earth is one of top5 eighties songs for me
Xavier Hall
Its always been this stupid.
Landon Allen
They should've won the Second Life mayor election.
Jaxson Jenkins
>god is there anything close to sylvian's vocals?
half of the male-fronted synthpop bands of that era
Jeremiah Rogers
grimes top right
Brody Anderson
Duran Duran are the greatest band of the 80s no doubt
is right, Rio is the best album of the past 50 years.
Isaac Russell
>tfw nobody on /aco/ is willing to draw porn of Rio
not fair
Ian Barnes
yeah sure
Lincoln Murphy
isn't Rio a metaphor for the United States
Nathan Robinson
OUR DOIRECT CUMPETITORS ARE DURON DURON
*plays shitty bubblegum pop with static over it*
Aiden Morgan
Simon Le Bon is equally as good a frontman as Byrne
John Taylor is a better bass player than Tina Weymouth
Jerry Harrison is a better guitarist than Andy Taylor
Jury is out as far as I'm concerned.
Owen Hill
possibly, that would explain the sarcastic tone of some of the lyrics
but either way she's very hot and it's not fair
Gavin Ward
The jury is not out on you being objectively wrong.
Andrew Mitchell
I always thought they were Aussie.
>the more you know.
Caleb Collins
Now we're on the topic of Aussies, INXS are also severely underrated and deserve their due.
Jonathan Gutierrez
no they just got a fake brit accent
it's a staple of new wave
Brandon Cox
>fake brit accent
lol what
John Evans
Mirror in the bathroom talk to me,
the door is locked just you and me
Tay-Tay can I take you to a restaurant
that has glass tables? We can watch
ourselves while we're reaching...
Mirror in the bathroom! You're my mirror in the bathroom!
Now the english beat people, quality.
Just mirror in the bathroom has one of the best sax in the whole world.
Bentley Ramirez
we just call them the Beat in England desu
Ryan Hall

Jacob Murphy
it's got less to do with that and more with this
Julian Baker
Top sax, let England shake, shake, shake it off!
Haters gonna hate, hate, hate.

>1995
>covers album
>when the band were all but done
meh
Tyler Martin
there were a decent 80s pop band but to say they did anything as interesting or innovating as Talking Heads is pretty goofy
Ryder Sanchez
>god is there anything close to sylvian's vocals?
the japanese bands that took influence from japan of course

Matthew Bailey
catchy > interesting
fun > innovative
Chase Richardson
There's a story here... you got time to greentext that shit?
Adam Robinson
and yet Talking heads were all four of those
Mason Adams
No future, man
Except for the best band in the world
Duran Duran
Daniel Lee
I'd argue they had a similar effect on art school music in the UK though. Before them it was either grim dark post punk or Genesis wannabees.
They were the new Roxy Music at the very least.
Nicholas Gray
not going to go into too much detail because I'm friends with the girl still and we were nothing resembling serious, but yeah, a girl I was seeing for a while starting emailing Steve Jansen because she was a superfan and now they're in a committed relationship
Daniel Parker
hey who the fuck are you
Dominic Foster

Easton Wood

Luke White
Sure. I can play Psycho Killer at any party and get props heHeH, I can play the Billy Graham song and do the patting the ground with my hands and it kills every time heHEE.
