I'm 63 & I gotta tell ya, in the summer of 1966[ I was 14 if you're the math-challenged type ;-) ]the most "dangerous" music on the airwaves wasSatisfaction" by The Rolling Stones. It had an new edge & a hot commercial hook that hinted at something different & potentially hardcore. If a car was driving by & it came on it's radio that car would IMMEDIATELY crank it louder while the driver would slow & start looking around to see how many heads had turned to show a smile.A few of weeks later, Talk Talk came out & where one song may have hinted,when you heard Talk Talk, there was NO doubt!I'm listening to it now.It was fast & tough. It was heavily fuzzed & hardcore. It was very short (only 1:58)& to the point & on target for what they were creating without a single ounce of additional productional fat.Now, all that being said, they also covered a few songs that were totally at the other end of the rainbow with versions of Neil Diamond's Cherry Cherry & The Beatles Taxman AND they did a great Hey Joe way before Jimi Hendrix made it his song.A band capable of wide ranges.Some of the other original tunes on this album (I'm so sad I lost it in a fire) like Trouble had a similar vibe to the title & Come On In was so downright cool & sexy you wouldn't believe how many so-called artists have sampled it's riffs for their own recordings (damn you Supreme Court-you blew it on this one).I even got to see them play Talk Talk on tv late one night (1:00am, & remember kiddies there was only broadcast over the air tv then) on the show Playboy After Dark hosted by Hugh Hefner himself. Talk about a moment. I KNEW these guys were dangerously cool. All in black turtlenecks & black jeans & black leather vests,indoors yet they're all wearing dark sunglasses,& they all wore a single black glove on one hand.Whoof.I was impressed.They were ahead of their time.Then they made like Atlantis a few years later.Too bad. But as a result of these guys I promise you a large amount of & some very interesting people started or joined those garage bands in earnest & started thinking about what kind of music they would try too. It saddens me today that so many songs are built on the shoulders of the giants before them & are now little more than looped samples & drum machines. I like very few of them. Autotune? Great software & it sounds quite cool. But remember every electronic tweak you hear means the singer has NOT hit the right note in the song. Does that mean many of these folks can't sing the notes of their own song?
