Greatest NYC rock group of all time?

So good and eclectic. They have enough inventory and diversity of sound to allow me to listen for hours without the need to switch artists.

@YellowSnow didnt even put them on the list. Now I know how Bernie Sanders felt in 2016.

I was one the fence with them. Yes, they started as a shitty punk band before becoming cultural appropriators (hi @dnc ). Many of their songs are more rock than hip hop. Alas, I made a ruling that they are too much of a hybrid, so EMFA.

Gotta go with the Velvets, this being a pro-trailblazer site and all.
I can listen to Talking Heads all day and still not be able to tell you the motivation behind a single song. I like that for some reason. It's just entertaining background music for me. Sometimes I tune in and listen a bit and it's always interesting, but then I tune back out and dont feel I've missed anything.
Interesting. I feel that so many on their lyrics make perfect sense to me.
They are perhaps my all time favorite band of the late 70s and early 80s. I was shocked when the got knocked out in the first round of the rock tournament.
