Synopsis
Amazon.com Released four years after the Talking Heads called it a day with 1988's Naked, Popular Favorites provides a thorough overview of one of the most important American bands of the '80s. From tightly wound early efforts such as "Psycho Killer" and "Don't Worry About the Government" to the seriously funky likes of "I Zimbra" and "Burning Down the House," David Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth, and Chris Franz grew as musicians as they stretched the original concepts of the unit to the breaking point. Over the course of two discs and 32 selections, the anthology chronicles the Heads' development from Bowery art punks (albeit of the most civil stripe) to unlikely arena stars. A smattering of unreleased tracks and notes from the original quartet nicely flesh out the retrospective. --Steven Stolder Similar CDs

Member CD Reviews Rick B. from ELLICOTT CITY, MD Reviewed on 3/25/2010... Excellent overview of the band's career, including singles and rare tracks not available on their standard albums. Only grip is they should have included more tracks from "Remain in Light" and I wish the studio version of "Girlfriend" was here instead of the live version. Sound quality is great - much better than the recent loud and compressed remasters. 1 of 1 member(s) found this review helpful. Jim & Sue C. (JimC) from CARROLLTON, IL Reviewed on 9/3/2009...

CD ReviewsGreat, just be cautious a consumer | PA | 09/30/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "There's little that I can add to the reviews already here in regards to the music and selections. It's great stuff, and a pleasure to hear. I just wanted to caution buyers who might be getting this from an independent seller that this is a 2 CD set! Each CD has its own jewel case and then there's an over-case uniting the two. I twice ordered it from such sellers who had only the first CD and did not realize there was another one. They graciously refunded my money but save yourself the trouble I had and ask your seller to verify physically that they have both CD's before you order." This is the perfect place to start - if you are a new fan Belle | Dunedin, FL United States | 03/24/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I appreciate the title of this 2-disc set 'Popular Favorites..." because there is NO such thing as "Best of" when it comes to this rock-fusion group (you are right - I did NOT say "new wave"). If you haven't collected every album they have or if you have just had the great good fortune to have discovered Talking Heads, then this is the CD set for you...unless you have quite a bit more moola and can afford their entire collected box-set then I say GO FOR IT. There are few groups that I would consider buying their life's work - but Talking Heads is definitely at the top, maybe, just maybe behind The Beatles...or maybe Traffic....hmmmmmmmmm - have to give that some thought. Anyway, BUY THIS IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD THEIR ENTIRE BOX-SET COLLECTION!! And that is close to being an order - if you love good music and are musically eclectically-minded. Enjoy!"
