^^ Sorry all you lot, but who dances like that, anyways ???
I guess me and TH don't click AT ALL. Best I leave this thread alone. Not even Eno and Belew could make me get into this band.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Maybe Roxy is more progressive, but personally, I've been listening to Talking Heads with my family since I was 2. Both of these bands have a special place in my heart, and therefore, I choose both

Never really noticed before, but Roxy is listed as crossover prog while the Heads are listed as prog related. Not that I have ever been able to determine the specific difference between the two categories....and yes I have read the page info/description several times. (only mentioned it because of the recent discussion going on about XTC regarding these categories..) At any rate that video clip above of Byrne is enough to make me choose Roxy every time.

Had to vote both.
Both bands managed to "own" cover versions - Talking Heads with Take Me To The River and Roxy Music with Jealous Guy (what an arrangement).
