Very close but gotta go with the heads just because I tend to listen to them more often. ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

Roxy Music. Everything up to Siren is splendiferous. Except Love is the Drug. Can we somehow extricate that from their catalog, please? ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

| The Heads. Awesome band. Roxy could never quite top Remain In Light. |

Very hard to choose, as both bands are favourites of ours, and often played at the Berry mansion. Sitting on this one for a while. |

Jeez ! One of the greatest guitarists ever, a sax/oboe player of immense talent, one of the best rock drummers since Bonham and Bryan Ferry. Throw in Jobson, Newmark and a slew of sidemen of world class calibre. Really? ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

Roxy Music. Talking Heads (Byrne specifically) gets on my nerves after a while. Though Remain in Light and Speaking in Tongues were as good as it got in the early 80s. Roxy just had more soul. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Love both bands. Voted for Roxy because they got better and better as a band. Yes, early material was creative and unique, but they also sounded like they were learning their instruments as they were recording. The Heads reached a peak after a few years, but waned at the end. Roxy ended their career with their best album. So yes, Icarium, I like Avalon. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

I liked Roxy's later stuff more than their earlier stuff and vice versa. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I vote Roxy for the strength of their first two albums. I don't like the Talking Heads much.

I am not fond of either, but I prefer Roxy Music above most New Wave bands. And "most New Wave bands" also includes the Talking Heads. -------------

Despite my intense dislike of Brian Ferry for his views on foxhunting and his support for his moron of a son, I go with Roxy Music. Never got Talking Heads at all. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I'm not going to vote here coz it's unfair, but any song I've heard from TH, sounds idiotic to me. Now I don't mean to rub certain folks up the wrong way, but TH 'radio songs' sound like the very thing I detest in music......... And yes, I adore 80's Crimson. Roxy, I love their earlier material over the later, more slick affairs, but Roxy leave TH leagues behind........ |

Roxy Music.------------- 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. |
