I was around in the 1980's, was a big Brian Eno fan, so I was aware when Remain in Light was released, and you are spot on. Remain in Light was a revolution for its time. By far, my fav Talking Heads LP. Eno would follow up with production of U2's 'Joshua Tree', another classic from that era!
I agree with most of your rankings! the biggest issue with the Talking Heads version of True Stories is, essentially, that it was mandated by Warner Bros, who refused to release the actual soundtrack for the film until like 2018; the songs are all context-less and essentially covers. nearly all of them are better in the film, sang by the actors.
Number 8: "Yes, this album definitely belongs to the bottom of the barrel." Number 7: "Correctamundo! This guy is on to something..." Number 6: "Naked indeed is criminally underrated! I have to click the subscribe button immediately." Even if I'd consider ranking Naked a bit higher, this listing is spot on. Remain in Light is one of my favorite albums of all time.
When True Stories was released in the 80's, It was such a hit. If one wasn't into it, one wouldn't be on the right side of cool. ... And boy, it was a fun time.
My ranking 8: Talking Heads 77 7: Naked 6: More Songs about Buildings and Food 5: Little Creatures 4: True Stories 3: Fear of Music 2: Remain in Light 1: Speaking in Tongues Honestly I love every album (except 77) pretty hard to rank
Holy shit this is how I would have ranked the albums! This is way better than fantano's ranking. I agree that road to nowhere and and she was are great tracks off of talking heads second worst record.
Yeah, it is difficult to choose between 'Fear of Music' and 'Remain in Light' as their greatest achievement. Back in the day, I preferred 'Fear of Music' but now I've shifted to 'Remain in Light'. The first five albums could be characterized as 'Post-Punk'. After that, I lost interest in the band's direction. Cheers.

Thank you for not putting Naked last like everyone else. Very underrated album. Agree with your number 8 & 7 placings
Totally nude is a great song on that album, can’t see anything else on that album that is good
This is my second favourite channel on UA-cam.
It's surprising to hear David Byrne say lyrics are bullshit, when he's one of the best lyrics writers of art rock history.
this channel talks about breaking bad, talking heads and Radiohead? lessgoo I'm now subbed
My favourite is Speaking Tongues, I just love the blips and blops

The Name Of This Band Is Talking Heads Is my current favorite.
