View Full Version : More Talking Heads as DLC?

I'm just listening to Talking Heads (in part because of Psycho Killer's inclusion in RB2) and rediscovering just how damn good this band was.

A three-pack of Talking Heads DLC would be brilliant. An album would be even better!

My choice for a three-pack:
1. Burning Down The House (An all around classic. The drums would be awesome on this one)

2. Girlfriend is Better (really funky, lots of fun bass action here too. Plus, the singer can jiggle around in a Zoot Suit!)

3. Road To Nowhere (A good one for the vocalist. Bass and drums would be pretty similar and quite relentless, while guitar could do the accordion parts. Not perfect for RB, but could be really good fun).

or...

3. And She Was (Definitely more stuff for the whole band here. Drums are a bit samey but the vocals, bass and guitar are all pretty interesting).


I'd say Once In A Lifetime, but while it's a brilliant song (and a classic) I'm not sure how well that would translate into RB - vocals are great but drums and bass are kinda samey, and guitar's not got much to do.

For full albums I'd go with either 1983's Speaking In Tongues or their 1984 Stop Making Sense live album.

I can but dream I guess... anyone else got any suggestions?

Personally I don't care how well it translates into Rock Band I would buy Once In A Lifetime in a heartbeat.

Edit: Didn't realize that I was actually in the Ultimate Setlist forum ha ha. It's early/late.

There's a live version of "Once In A Lifetime" that might be a bit more fun.

If the masters for Stop Making Sense were available, I'd say do the whole thing up. I'd dig up my big white suit and go to town!

Take me to the River would be great..

I was just thinking the same thing about Take Me To The River. That would be great. I would choose Life During Wartime, Making Flippy Floppy, Girlfriend Is Better and Love For Sale

I became a fan after playing Psycho Killer. What a fun song! I'd love more from Talking Heads!
