| Talking Heads. They had the sense to bow out gracefully, leaving a complete, rounded and nicely packaged legacy - scarcely a weak song or album. The Who, on the other hand, continuted on far too long. They have dragged themselves ever onwards, through aging, through dying and leaving members, and have as such greatly reduced their legacy and credibility, much in the same fashion the Rolling Stones have done. Also David Byrne > Pete Townshend. Especially in 2004. |

| But when it comes to the actual MUSIC.....The Who take this one, easily. They were more influencial and had more raw talent. *votes so* |

| Musically... well I'd still back the Heads and their sense of rhythm anytime. As for influence? Who is the biggest most popular and critically acclaimed band in the world at the moment? Radiohead! And from which band's song title did Radiohead take their name? It certainly wasn't a bunch of 1960s British mod-rockers! The reason that not as many bands were directly influenced by Talking Heads is because they were so idiosyncratic, they were very much a product of the 4 member's particular quirks and characteristics. They're not easily reproducable or mimicable, which is very different from not being talented. (edited by Arwon on 10-12-04 10:51 AM) |
