Tough question, isn't it?

You can't really go wrong with "Making Flippy Floppy."

I love the live version of Psycho Killer (from concert movie), or Road to Nowhere for it sheer catchiness. Yes, tough to choose one.

Impossible to choose. Gut instinct said Life During Wartime, or maybe Nothing But Flowers. Love the dark humour in those two.

I have some sentimental favorites, but overall it's probably "Girlfriend Is Better" from Stop Making Sense.

I never got into Talking Heads, but I loved Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love."

That's probably their most sentimental song. Good choice.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned their version of Take me to the River. I actually prefer it to the Rev's. And, I also like most all the rest of their songs. Another album that doesn't get enough love is Naked. How could one forget Totally Nude? Then there's Byrne's solo stuff (e.g. Rei Momo). So, it is very tough indeed.

The name of the bar is Heaven
The Book I Read
Crosseyed and Painless (Eno-Byrne masterpiece imho)
Take Me to the River

I agree, but it's not really a "talking heads: type song. Easily one of my favorite songs in general...
