Pink Floyd is an eight hundred pound gorilla. Talking Heads is a 45 pound Bassett Hound.

Gorilla wins.

A couple of Talking Heads songs are okay.
Although I'm not a huge Pink Floyd fan anymore, I still enjoy a whole lot of their songs. (Have a Cigar is one I've been blasting repeatedly.)

Talking Heads straddled commercial and critical success like no other band then broke up at the right time, Pink Floyd did, and then became a joke because they didn't know when to break up.

This Must Be The Place and Heaven beat Wish You Were Here in the shmaltz and sentiment stakes.

Psycho Killer was darker and more interesting than anything Pink Floyd ever turned out. And you could dance to it.

Actually, that's a good general delineation. Talking Heads songs are music you can analyse and geek out on, and dance to at the same time.

That's because Roger Waters and Gilmour are idiots.

WELL, HOW DID I GET HERE?


I just saw two David Byrne shows. God the man can still put on a show, and his voice is still crystal clear and very powerful. Amazing stuff.

Hi it's Leg!

I re-regged just to vote for the greatest band to have ever existed on the planet. Pink Floyd.

Nothing compares.

Oh, and you're insane Ziff.

Roger was, is, and forever will be the man.

Roger is Pink. >=D

Barret is by no means a genius. From the limited material of his I've sampled, including stuff not on any album, it's sad to say but he's just a burnout. Sure, his music is creative and fun to listen to a lot of the time, but it is not terribly deep, imo. Now, philosophically, you could make the case that Roger is fairly shallow too, but it's just a rock band for chrissakes. I feel that Roger connects with me more than either Dave (blech) or Syd.

And you can't give all the credit to Syd, even for his psychadelic work, b/c there were many songs that Roger also worked on and coauthored. I won't vote b/c I don't know anything about the talking heads.

Well, at least he's still ghosting...

In any case, I don't normally participate in this stuff... But Talking Heads is just plain good to me, and Pink Floyd had the whole Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon thing, so I've got a good reason to vote for both of them. I gotta go with Talking Heads, though.

Pink Floyd... Is one of the best bands ever, I think.

Syd is not more talented than Roger waters...

Also, David Gilmour did some pretty awesome stuff. He wrote Fat Old Sun, and hell, that's enough to make me respect a man for life.
