Popular Favorites 1976-1992/Sand in the Vaseline by Talking Heads (CD, Oct-1992, 2 Discs, Sire Records USA)

Make sure that when you order that you are getting BOTH CD's IN THE SET. Otherwise there is no point to purchase this compilation...seriously.

Lets see now class of 79 so much the rocker back then. Talking Heads burned up the airwaves. Was not much a an album collector back then. Talking Heads had some really good hits which I remember the words to well. This cd has them all and if it is missing any I'm not missing it. I put on and get my dose and then find another cd for my enjoyment. Not thinking this band had the kind of music that you needed the whole album to have an experince. Some like Floyd and Zep and Eagles to me did. However it was and still is a great party music band and all most all the songs on here are ones that play over in my younger mind.

Having not knowing much about the talking heads I purchased this 2cd collection on half.com. It gave me a really good understanding of the talking heada and what they were all about. After listening to these 2 cds a couple of times I really got into the talking heads. It gives a great overview of their career, first when they were a progressive rock band then when they became more of a new wave rock band. It's a great start for anyone who is thinking about gwtting into the talking heads.

I had looked to find a compilation CD that included all my favorite Talking Heads songs. I especially wanted it to feature the song "Stay Up Late" - this was the one compilation CD I found that contained that song.
I found several concert versions of songs on this CD where I might rather have had the original studio versions. That was the only possible drawback.
All in all, I really enjoyed this CD, and plan to listen to it for years to come!

No classic rock / new wave (?) collection would be complete without the Talking Heads. The 1-cd greatest hits collection is very good, but u need at least 2 cd's full of their best work to really get the full flavor & variety.
This is excellent & highly recommended, even if u don't already know if u like them.

It's a classic Talking Heads 2-CD set with all the tunes they're know for. This set contains all of their classics with a few "unknowns" (at least to me) thrown in for good measure.
