flowers for charlie:
what is their best album/release?  

i am curious because i think i might buy a CD of theirs for a friend of mine who has a perma-boner for anything with blues guitar in it.

any help would be appreciated.

also, i remember him mentioning he doesn't really like live tracks, but go ahead and post live albums if they're really better than the studio ones.

For examples of good Talking Heads albums I'd suggest:

* Talking Heads 77
* Remain In Light
* More Songs About Buildings And Food

For semi-obscure stuff with great blues guitar in it, if your friend has never heard of Rory Gallagher I'd thoroughly recommend him.  Particularly the two live albums Irish Tour and Live In Europe.

3Z3VH:
I second Remain in Light.

Also, if it is a gift for your friend, you might even consider The Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" DVD

LoveandaMolotovCocktail:
Stop making Sense
Remain In Light
Fear of Music

are my favorites

Personally, I'd say that Speaking in Tongues was their strongest album, but that's mostly because it has the highest concentration of my favorite Talking Heads songs on it.
