#13 Aerosmith

Byrne is annoying AF

#13 Aerosmith

I spent years hoping the Talking Heads would be in a plane crash.

I'm a little concerned here for My Talking Heads in the early going. If they go down early, I'm gonna be crushed.

Well this is turning into a rout. I thought there would be mor Talking Heads fans here.

Talking heads gets a ton of credit for being avant garde or some stupid shit. Fuck off with that pretentious crap. That being said. This song is really good:

Agree with the too much credit for being avant-garde or some shit, but I saw David Byrne at the Paramount many moons ago, doing a mix of his own stuff and some Talking Heads. That is one tremendously talented musician.

Little Creatures was a great album all the way through. Only $11.00 on Discogs to boot!!

I'm somewhat surprised by your Talking Heads, distaste. Thought they'd be mor in your wheelhouse, but it's neither here nor there.

Too many clueless MTV fans here. Aerosmith has 2 good albums that radio plays the worst of the songs from them and then a bunch of pussed out ballads from shitty movies. And Talking Heads is just a band music snobs tell you are great but can't explain why

I love the Heads because Mr. Burns was easily one of the greatest lyricists in the history of rock. "Don't Worry About The Guvmint"? "Life During Wartime"? Fucking brilliant.

I can’t believe the wide margin on this one. Both very good, but Talking Heads are great.

I've been to Salem A LOT and I'm 81% sure its Aerosmith country...now them Portland hipster fags, well that's another story.

Both of these bands suck.

The only redeeming thing about Aerosmith is that they facilitated Walk This Way. Pretty much everything is is fucking crap. Dream On is okay.

Everything Aerosmith did after their Run-DMC fueled come back was fucking elevator rock (in both a literal and figurative way).

Dream On is great ... Walk This Way was ground breaking with the cross over ... the rest I can live without

More quality songs for Talking Heads
