And granted, the op is a little narrow minded but ppl here are trying to make the best of it.

It's like, imagine if someone made a Dragon force thread saying Dragon force is the best band ever, it makes sense to refute that argument with similar bands of the same genre.

but if i go there saying "Michael jackson is better" is gonna seem out of place, no?

It's not like he was the only one I named, but yeah I see what you're saying.

I don't think you can make that statement and expect it to be taken as fact. It's all subjective as anyone knows. You might think they were the greatest --- so might others --- but it doesn't make it the case. I'm sure they were innovative and different and very successful and influential, but I can think of a bunch of other bands I would put before them, both in terms of longevity and overall popularity.

Of course it's all subjective. I wasn't claiming any definitive real thing

Listen to the album "Remain In Light" and "Stop Making Sense", the latter is live and both are fantastic.

The Name of This Band is Talking Heads is an unreal album. It really shows how well they played live. What a great album Talking Heads: The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads | Album Reviews | Pitchfork

I'm just going throw out there that Naked is an incredibly underrated album. I'd actually go as far as saying it's one of my favorites by them and is fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better than 77.
