I fall into the camp of having seen REM, grew up with their early catalog, and would therefore opt for Talking Heads.
Also, David Byrne’s Utopia tour (first round, never saw the broadway version) was amazing.
Also, this is the absolute joy of the hobby and this forum. Best local record shop on the planet — even for the things that you just go, wait, what? Oh. Wow. I didn’t get that… but I do now.
Edit: and holy heck, the Wizard
I’d never listened to the.Black Sabbath album. I just wanted to share that I feel like a bit of a dope. Not life ending…. But a pretty dopey miss. Records.
