Blending pop, punk, funk, avant-garde, dance, world and numerous other genres, Talking Heads garnered immense critical acclaim in the ‘80s and helped shape the alternative and indie scenes of today. The dancefloor-ready, punk-inspired grooves from !!! and LCD Soundsystem pay homage to Talking Heads, while the success of genre-blurring alternative-rock titans like Radiohead and Beck would not have been possible without the quartet's influence.
