If you've heard and like their work, what is your favourite song from the visionary band The Talking Heads?

I love Once In A Lifetime, especially the Stop Making Sense live version. My second favourite song of all time. I also love Take Me To The River, Life During Wartime, Love For Sale, Wild, Wild Life, Burning Down The House, Houses In Motion & Road To Nowhere.

Additionally, I believe their best album is Stop Making Sense. Possibly the best 'live' album ever.

Ug, you are so wrong. ;)

(Nothing But) Flowers is not only their best song but it's one of the greatest songs ever written. It is true because I say so.

I really like "I Zimbra"

"Air" is worth a listen too, as if all their songs aren't.

Mark beat me to Psycho Killer. If I have to pick a favorite that's it.

Life During Wartime captures the kinetic energy that was their signature.
