I have a LOT of material to cover, today, let's begin with the obvious, the brilliant studio albums.don't worry, later I have probably 30 live shows all eras, many demo sets, more stuff than you could ever need. OK, guitarist/vocalist David Byrne, bassist Tina Weymouth, drummer Chris Frantz and (later) keyboardist Jerry Harrison created some of the smartest, most intellectually challenging rock music every, forevever expanding their horizons and limits.they got their start in the 70's in the New York CBGB scene, but, like Television, NOT because they were especially (or even barely) 'punk' in their approach, actually, they just happened to be in the neighborhood.
Some bands, of which I am a 'fan' rather than a listener (you know what I mean) are really hard to profile here, because I have SO MUCH material.I've NEVER done a Roxy music post/series, despite they being my favorite band of all, because I just don't know how to approach it.well, I've been thinking Talking Heads for a while now, and the recent Byrne/Eno submissions and the like provide an excellent warm up for what I'm going to do here.
