But there were a whole lot more to pick from....unlike most crap today. 😉

Ditto... the DVD's visual accompaniment is worth adding... I mean, ya gotta love "the big suit"...

Plus (depending on your surround SQ) the multi-channel adds a nice "being there" atmosphere...

My understanding is that "genius of love" was going on while Byrne was changing into the iconic big suit

And I've rediscovered a great love of David Byrne and the talking heads of late. Byrne is a weird dude but his vocals can be incredible.

If you can find a copy of The Heads' Stop Making Sense on DVD grab it... you will not be disappointed (although the Bryne-less, Weymouth led Tom Tom Club Genius of Love seems out of place) ... or your money back...

The SQ is amazing... the show is imaginative as you'd expect... and Byrne's opening, solo, acoustic rendition of Psycho Killer alone is worth the price of admission.

Josh homme is an interesting pick to me. I wouldn't consider him a great vocalist bUT I really like some of his stuff.

Yeah, for vocal talent or technical ability alone, he would never make a top 50 even, but I really dig his style. Actually, A former band member of Homme's, Mark Lannegan, would probably be more suitable for this list.
