Fear of Music

Following on the heels of Talking Heads: 77 (1977) and More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978), the Talking Heads issued their breakout third album Fear Of Music on Sire in 1979. Their second with Brian Eno as co-producer, the 11-song set was hailed as one of the top albums of 1979 by tastemakers across the board and it was the band's first gold certified release. Producing the three successful singles "Life During Wartime," "I Zimbra" and "Cities," Fear Of Music marked the Talking Head's remarkable transition from art punks to critically acclaimed pop act which would truly come to a head on the band's subsequent 1980 masterpiece Remain In Light.
