Pioneering New Wave band. Emerged from the NY punk scene in the mid '70s but had a distinctly different sound influenced by funk, esp. James Brown. Later to come under the influence of producer Brian Eno, and also incorporated elements of African music into their coked-up fouth album Remain In Light. Also heavily influenced by cocaine, by the way.
Franz Ferdinand are heavily influenced by Talking Heads' masterpiece More Songs About Buildings And Food.

Get the Talking Heads mug.One of the worst, most dreadful bands of all time. Hard to determine what their best albums are because most of their music is garbage. Their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just proves that the R&RHoF doesn't mean shit.
