A list of my favorite songs by American new age rock band Talking Heads.

Talking Heads was 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).

Former art school students who became involved in the 1970s New York punk scene, Talking Heads integrated elements of punk, art rock, funk and dance music with avant-garde sensibilities to become a pioneering post-punk and new wave group.

Led by the anxious stage persona of frontman Byrne, the group produced several commercial hits and a number of multimedia projects throughout its career, and often collaborated with other artists, such as musician Brian Eno and director Jonathan Demme.

Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described Talking Heads as "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s." Talking Heads were also included at #64 on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".

In 2002, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of the band's albums appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and three of their songs ("Psycho Killer", "Life During Wartime" and "Once in a Lifetime") were included among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
