Two of the best 'New Wave' bands of all time. The Police arguably the quintessential new wave band from the UK and Talking Heads likewise on their side of the atlantic. Both similar in the way that they incorporated non-western influences into their music (reggae for The Police, but also some african influences after their debut, and obviously huge african influence for Talking Heads). Obviously that was nothing new for the time, but definitely two of the most successful.
The music is also very catchy...mostly fun reggae-rock for The Police, slightly paranoid funk-punk/pop for the Heads. Both also have unique singers with 'unique' personalities. I'll try post one song from their best LPs to try be representative (or their first few anyway), but I think there is a limit to how many you can have in one post so I might have to split it into two posts.
