Ween/Sonic Youth

Once again, I am the exception that loves both. (I know a lot of other people that like both too.)

Led Zeppelin IV would be a good place to start.

I dunno, I'd suggest III.

In all seriousness though, I recently picked up a used copy of Remain in Light but haven't given it a full spin yet.

Remain in Light is arguably their best album, but for a first time out Speaking in Tongues might be better. I guess it's a moot point since you already picked up Light, but anyway let the LCD Soundsystem fan in you listen for the multiple layers of percussion, the call-and-response format, the conversational and self-referential lyrics, and the combination of anxiety and weird confidence in the singer's voice because James Murphy stole all those things from the Heads.

Also: turn it up loud so you can get the full effect of Brian Eno's insane production, because that's half the fun.

Just pressed play

Re the Elvis/Beatles thing - Beatles (duh)
Sonic Youth/Ween? - Not a big fan of either but like some material from both.
Smiths/Cure - The Smiths are kinda one of those bands for me too, and the Cure is ok. I would guess that I won't like the Smiths though.

Upon first listen, I enjoyed the back half of the record significantly more then the first half. Specifically, Listening Wind and The Overload. Is there more of these darker Heads?

Posted by Horned Gramma on Aug 4, 2012, 1:50pm

'Listening Wind' is fucking amazing, isn't it?

There's some more stuff like that on Fear of Music (my personal favorite Talking heads record). There's also some kind of sinister stuff on Speaking in Tongues, like 'Swamp', but it's a little more skippy.

Posted by Cysquatch on Aug 4, 2012, 2:06pm

I haven't really dug into Talking Heads catalog, but I know I have always enjoyed their earlier stuff, but not much else.

Fuck I hate The Smiths.

I do too, although I couldn't identify a single Smiths song. I hate them on principle.

Elvis/Beatles
Ween/Sonic Youth
Smiths/Cure

...you're one kind of dude or you're the other.

Never really thought about any of these bands in this fashion before, but I get where you're coming from. I like Sonic Youth and Ween about the same though. For me when it comes to those two bands, when they're good they're great, but when they're off...NO THANKS.
