“Stop Making Sense” and the Transformative Power of Collaboration

I'm pretty sure I've had this exact conversation with someone else, except the argument was about 77.

Talking Heads somehow manages to get people agree that they're great, but keep them divided about why, exactly.

I think basically everything they did was great, maybe with the exception of Naked (which I should give another shot). What's great about the Talking Heads is that they grew and evolved. The only core essence is change.

On the other hand, I think they're all largely good. After a certain point some of their albums started only have a couple songs that I remember, some of them still great.

It's absurd that they can put out a string of 2-5 near perfect albums and still get criticism.

There's huge, beloved bands that don't really have a single album that has that many great tracks on it.
