Talking Heads was an American rock band that was formed in New York City in 1975. The band consisted of David Byrne (vocals and guitar), Chris Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards and guitar). Talking Heads was known for their unique blend of art rock, funk, and world music, which was influenced by a diverse range of genres including punk rock, African music, and avant-garde art. Their music was characterized by Byrne's distinctive vocals and quirky lyrics, as well as the band's use of polyrhythms and unusual instrumentation. The band's early albums, including "Talking Heads: 77" and "More Songs About Buildings and Food," were critically acclaimed and helped establish the band's reputation as one of the most innovative and influential acts of the post-punk era. Their later albums, such as "Remain in Light" and "Speaking in Tongues," were more experimental and incorporated elements of funk and world music. Talking Heads disbanded in 1991, but their music continues to be celebrated for its originality and influence on subsequent generations of musicians. Some of their most popular songs include "Psycho Killer," "Once in a Lifetime," and "Burning Down the House." Talking Heads (1975 - 1991)
