I rest my case!

The Police.

[kishnevi]

the Police.   For me, the Talking Heads had a few interesting songs,   but the Police had more than a few, and I think they were stronger musically.  Plus an extra merit point to the Police for quoting the Simpleton's music from Boris Godunov in one song.

[7/4]

They're both great for different reasons...The Police because they're great musicians, the Heads because they're so...arty or something. Both full of sonic adventure and that counts in my book.

Life During Wartime... Who else could a soldier boy vote for 

I do recall, though, a particularly magic night at a disco during a ski week in Garmisch (1983), a brilliant crowd bouncing in unison to the chorus of So Lonely. Even Mrs. Rock, who doesn't dance, was on the floor for that one  That song alone makes me sad I can't vote for both bands. In truth, though, the Talking Heads were part of my life  then in a way the Police never were.

Talking Heads - Not much worth remembering. The singer's voice is terribly annoying.

We're still batting a 1000    It's Sting's faux Jamaican accent that I find annoying.

Heads hands down.

Nowhere near as easy for me as the Stones VS. Beatles poll . . . but I found myself behind the wheel of a large automobile . . . .

How can be a question?  I feel like starting an Archies vs The Who thread.

This is a lot closer than I thought it would be.

Sting performing the Cold Song from Purcell's King Arthur. Since the question of Byrne's singing was raised.
