Both produced by Brian Eno and arguably the band's artistic peak, which one of these fantastic albums do you like more? I go for Remain In Light myself, they peaked here me thinks.

Remain in Light is much tighter thematically speaking, although the high points of FoM are my favorite moments by the band.   The decision was made easy by the fact that "Heaven" is on FoM, and I absolutely detest that song.  So - Remain in Light it is.

I never thought of checking out Talking Heads but I came across Remain In Light and I was very very impressed. Fantastic album!

Darn it ... ah ... Remain In Light is consistent throughout, but some of the songs on Fear Of Music just kick ass.

Fear Of Music ... just because it's already losing.

Both are 10/10s for me, no doubt, but I feel Fear of Music is simply a more consistent and well paced than Remain in Light.

Both are fantastic. Amongst my favorites of all times. I can't decide.  I love their first four albums. Heart

Those are my two favorite TH albums. Very hard to pick a favorite b/w those two. Heads - Fear/Tails - Remain.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Not a fan, but Remain in Light is pretty good. Fear of Music is disposable imho.

Can't stand what I've heard, even the Belew influenced stuff ( Yoy might find yourself living in a shotgun shack, this is not my house, this is not my beautiful wife....and the days go by.....).
A big NO-GOER for my tastes.
................(oh, how I've tried........)
And I despise that 'Road To Nowhere' drek whenever I hear it........

You know you can insert a hyperlink or imbed a YouTube video? People are more likely to look at it then.

Imo Remain In Light is the best (prog-related) New Wave album ever recorded.

Fans of Remain in Light might be interested in this -

http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=6998

On Halloween 1996, the popular "jam band" Phish played the album from start to finish, augmented by horns, percussionists, and backup singers.  This release is a well recorded document of that event.  I think it's the definitive version of the album. Go ahead and laugh.   Plus, I was in the audience.
