Thanks for breaking down the musicians like that. | |

Yknow, I have a few albums by Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, and I always knew they overlapped but I don't know much about each individual musician.
Wasn't Adrian Belew more of an official group member of Tom Tom Club? Like, I think he wrote a lot too. | |

I need a book on this or something. I think I actually listen to Tom Tom Club more than Talking Heads.  | |

great track, love the polyrhythms.
2nd Belew played with Zappa, then Bowie, then Talking Heads. He played on the Tom Tom CLub album and according to the book "this must be the place", he was actually cut out of royalties by CHris and Tina. They patched up their relationship later. Music is the best... | |

I can't speak enough about the first 5 talking head albums.
Forget genres and race, they just got it. Music is the best... | |

 In the concert movie,, "Stop Making Sense", David Byrne leaves in the middle of the show and the group becomes Tom Tom Club, performing "Genius of Love"...Then Byrne comes back onstage, and they resume as The Talking Heads,

Funny, I just did the thread below earlier this week on Adrian Belew and King Crimson, and the cross-influence between them, Eno, and The Talking Heads....

[Edited 1/2/09 16:26pm] I remember being 17 and sneaking out to see "stop making sense". I was grounded because of a party that I had attended earlier in the week. David Byrne is a funky MF. Dolette McDonald always lended some solid backing vocals for them and the work she did with STING was amazing. Tina is one of the greatest bassists of all time. I do miss good music.
