Sticking around a bit and introduce myself

The Talking Heads were most definitely one of the finest bands ever to record.

Also, "Once in a Lifetime" is the best 4-minute song ever. It's just got all kinds of genius in it including Eno at his poppy finest, and the final "My God, What Have I Done" frames it all so perfectly. It has a strikingly original rhythm including some kind of funky Eno synth thing, and Tina Weymouth understands the "notes not played" bass concept perfectly. What a great, great single.

People. This song contains all the confusion and angst of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and yet Kurt Cobain could never come up with something like "Once in a Lifetime" in a million billion years, because it also contains so much more.

in my opinion.
