Very sad news, he was one of the better songwriters of the 1980s.

Devastating news…I am a huge Talk Talk fan…rip Mark you were the real deal…

Didn’t Ministry do a Talk Talk cover in the early days? I feel like it was a download of the week at some point…

Hated to see this this morning. RIP.

Keith Flint now…sheesh…

And Luke Perry

I think Luke Perry’s death started with a cocaine induced stroke and then rolled into death… If my suspicions are correct it shouldn’t hit too hard

Talk Talk was possibly the only band in the MTV heyday that had the same band name, song title and album title in the corner when the video came on:

Talk Talk
Talk Talk
Talk Talk
EMI Records

Can’t think of another MTV video with all three the same.

Black Sabbath could have done it but I don’t remember the song Black Sabbath being played in those early days of mtv

Right?

Knew there had to be another one.

Wasn’t there a band call Big Country that also did this?

rev_skarekroe · March 6, 2019, 8:21pm

Unfortunately, Big Country’s hit single was called “In A Big Country” and the album was called “The Crossing,” so it doesn’t quite qualify.

queer_bait · March 6, 2019, 8:33pm

Iron Maiden qualifies…

acid_cripple · March 6, 2019, 10:42pm

That’s right. Should’ve Google’d.

Good one!
