Talking Heads were an American rock band formed in 1975 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar). Described by the critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine as "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s", the group helped to pioneer new wave music by integrating elements of punk, art rock, funk, and world music with avant-garde sensibilities and an anxious, clean-cut image.

Talking Heads’ groundbreaking 1977 debut remains one of the most celebrated releases of the New Wave era. The album featured the breakout hits “Psycho Killer” and "Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town" and introduced the world to the band’s singular and nervy blend of pointilistic funk, punk, and rock. The album is ranked as one of Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time”.

Talking Heads’ 1980 masterpiece stands among the most celebrated work of the decade.
