For one song only May 15, 2010 Dee from Brighton, MI (USA) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have no idea how good the songs are on here, however, I purchased this whole darned thing because I wanted "Burning Down the House" as it was the song in the bar scene of "The Banger Sisters" and really turned me on. For this one song, I chose to purchase the whole disc. Oh well, sorry here, love this song. Watch the movie, you'll see the bar scene with GOldie Hawn and Susan Surandon and when they're in the bar dancing, I guarantee, you will buy the whole disc just for that one song.
Very Pleased March 20, 2010 Carole S. Albright 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Received this item as promised, very pleased. I would order from this company again.
Just what I wanted October 14, 2009 Aged hippie (Glenwood Springs, Colorado USA) First let me say that while I enjoy the music of the Talking Heads, I am not a rabid fan. If I were, I'd probably say that "Greatest Hits" compilations are a poor substitute for owning every disc in their catalog. Since I am not, I can say that this particular compilation is the most comprehensive I've found, including all of their most popular tracks (and a few less popular ones). My 300-disc jukebox is full, with a "waiting list" of worthy entries. This particular disc replaced an existing TH album, "Stop Making Sense." I loved that album, but there were other TH tunes I also liked from other discs. I scoured Amazon's TH catalog for the one CD that included all of the tracks I enjoyed from SMS, as well as others, such as Road to Nowhere, And She Was, Once in a Lifetime, and Wild Wild Life.
So for all you purists out there, without the $$ or space for every TH disc, this is the next best thing. Even if you already own the entire catalog, this is the one you'll play most often.
Talking Heads for the casual listener June 16, 2009 Craig A. (Mount Laurel, New Jersey) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I never collected Talking Heads CDs (or LP's as we used to call them back in the day). But I do LOVE their most famous hits! If that's all you are looking for then this is the CD to get.
I feel like I'm back in the post-punk/new-wave era when I hear these songs again! Amen to the 80's!
A great start to a new love. May 9, 2009 glorificus 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having never listened to Talking Heads any other place then the radio, I have to say "I've been missing out."
