Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy to "Get Down Tonight" Wow what an innovation. Catchy though!

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Mr Eno has said this about each of the artists listed at sometime or other.
Even though The Kings Lead Hat is the obvious choice, I'm pretty convinced it was about Donna Summer's six minute disco-prog epic I Feel Love.
/edit: there's a 10 minute version out there somewhere...

No idea, so I vote Talking Heads.
I Feel Love is an interesting option. Man I love those sequenced synths.

Bryan Ferry...Oops! Sorry...I meant 'We Are Not Men,We Are DEVO'. Brain One was a very busy man when he was working with the New York No Wave scenesters.He was also about to embark on what was to become David Bowie's Berlin trilogy.

Isn't Talking Heads too easy? I mean, Eno was practically a member of the band! I go for Sigur Ros.

Some 50% of the artists mentioned can be erased from this list. Of the other half, the Talking Heads and Devo are most likely. I vote for Devo...

What I have heard from the new Byrne and Eno collaboration is really quite good.

This being a prog site I think we can narrow it down to an artist featured on this site that must eliminate a few

I seem to remember he said this about James (the band not the PA member/RIO collab') quite a few years ago. Definately Devo,He said it after seeing them play at Max's Kansas City.

or any artist that should be here .. never forget how 'devious' some can be hahahha. Like me for example... say if Eno had said that about the Talking Heads... a perfect lead in to a possible discussion to how they can really be called one of the most influential prog group of the early 80's. Never know... Listen to 80's King Crimson.. that has the Talking Heads written all over it... and it is not the other way around.

As I am searching my memory banks , it dawned on me that it could be Sigur Ros! It fits the "bubbly" Eno style.

" I Feel Love?"- Summer it is , hmmm, Eno must have been listening to Ferry's solo albums and "flippantly" stuck a finger in his VCS 3 (remember them?) and sprained his disc-oh .

I've always enjoyed that Eno story because the first time I heard the song in question it hit me the same way. I was in a friend's car, and he was playing his dashboard am radio. At the time we were living in a one dead horse town in East Texas and the am radio usually played music by The Bellamy Brothers, Freddy Fender and BJ Thomas, all of a sudden this song comes on that sounded like it could have been from Mars. Many years later I found out that Eno had a similar ephinac experience while listening to this same song ... the rest of the story when I return.

Where's Robert Fripp on that list? I'd think that Eno would throw a bone to Fripp and give him some props.

Now that ambient electronic music, techno and techno-related music are more and more becoming the norm for background music (especially in large urban areas) it is probably really hard to understand just how weird Summer and Moroder's first hit sounded. It definitley got your attention if you were living in semi-rural USA. At that time it was hard to believe that a song like that could become a top 40 hit all across the states. Now you know the rest of the story. 1st prize - Dean, and bonus points for his hilarious image of an overly stimulated and giddy Eno drunk at a cocktail party and gushing at every other song that comes on the stereo and saying 'Hear that, thas the future of music'. 2nd Prize - Anderson III for knowing that Miles' ambient proto-trip hop masterpiece "He Loved Him Madly" was a big influence on Eno. 3rd prize - Stonebeard for knowing Roger Eno's middle name. 4th prize - Micky for thinking I might have an ulterior motive with this poll (takes one to know one) ha ha ... yeah, Eno said the JH Experience was the future of music, unfortunately it was 2002 when he said it, probably drunk again. Bands left out: All the bands mentioned presented major stylistic and 'futuristic' influences within their respective genres, but in retrospect I could have included Kraftwerk ... Duh! Run DMC, Public Enemy, Stereolab, Aphex Twin etc etc. If I didn't already know the qoute, I would have guessed Devo, unless Kraftwerk would have been included.
