The passing of Mark Hollis gave a sort of shock wave, and many musicians credited Talk Talk and Mark Hollis as a huge influence, as did many people to whom their music is such a dear part of their lives. There were many tributes, and because of that a lot of people (re)discovered their legacy, and video's such as the concert 'Live at Montreux' '86. Which is awesome!
Thanks for nice tribute Jeff ! I'm so suprised to see how Mark was forgotten in France. I consider him as a real genius of music. Rest in peace Mark, you will be in our heart for ever . ❣
Spirit Of Eden is an absolute masterpiece & It's My Life & The Colour Of Spring are essential as well. Mark lived comfortably off the royalties from No Doubt covering It's My Life. Life's What You Make It is my favorite song by them.
Mark Hollis pushed his music beyond the commercial demands of record companies & the music buying general public. He had total disregard for mass commercialism.
Te digo mark es absolutamente extraordinario un cantor musico sin presedentes dificil olvidar tantas canciones hermosas mark no es solamente es mi vida o..es una verguenza mark es muxo pero muxo mas sobre todo una de mis favoritas es la mañana comenzando mark un cantante y ser humano inigualable❤❤❤❤❤❤
News of his passing reached me late too. TT made it to my top ten ever bands right from first listen of It's My Life. Something in Hollis's voice never left me. To this day I can't listen to I Believe In You w/o weeping...It's so raw. What a seminal act they pulled off with just 5 albums.
Mark Hollis' self titled solo album from 98 is also a masterpiece in league with the last 2 Talk Talk albums. Paul Webb and Lee Harris did 'O'rang, also worth checking out for those thirsting for more
I agree with you. I bought their album in the 80"s but now discovering the magic of their less commercial music today. Been doing a deep dive in TT and Hollis. I love your analyzation. Exactly what t wanted to do! Great job!! Watching old Hollis interviews which he looked miserable giving. I Believe You is my favorite so far, and Does Caroline Know? I can't stop listening. Every day I add another TT song on my playlist and the wear it out.
The party's over is very good, it's my life too, Colour of spring is a fine album, Living in another world is a sensational song. Spirit of eden, laughing stock are remarkable recordings, you have to really want to hear them albums to get them. I love New grass from Laughing stock in particular. God rest him - Mark Hollis, an innovative star.
Inoubliable mr Mark Hollis! Quelle voix, j adore talk talk que j ecoute tous les jours!! Je voudrais tellement savoir ou il repose pour pouvoir me recueillir sur sa tombe!!
During the 1980's, there was no band from the UK that was comparable to Talk Talk. And the drummer, Lee Harris was absolutely gorgeous. His drumming was excellent and energetic. No other drummer performed as exciting as Lee. And Lee being absolute eye candy didn't hurt.🎉
The last thing that I'm aware of that Mark Hollis allowed to be released was a short piece of music for the 'Boss' soundtrack. Check Mark Hollis ARB Section 1 (2012).
Great video for a much underrated band. I own all their albums on vinyl, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock are masterpieces, both getting 10's from Pitchfork in their original album reviews. Keep up the good work..
Born in 62 love cutting edge music, somehow completely missed TT . Just discovered them in the last year and its a treat. Japan i always felt was another interesting band. Released several derivative albums then discovered their sound with Tin drum and split up.
Marks Voice sounded very similar to Micheal McDonald from the Doobies The Chorus line on lifes what you make it sounds exactly the same as the Doobie Brothers Your Tribute is spot on the money your comment re Brian Wilson too ..Being into Jazz another notable music genius was Lyle Mays from the Pat Matheny Group both passed away feb 2019 /2020..aged 64 /66 . thanks for posting
Talk Talk didn't land for me in the 80's when I was others ll in pn Britpop...New Order..Smiths. Depeche Mode etc...but older now with a music composition hobby ( Christopher Wall on Spotify)..LOVE 'Life is What You Make it'! Brilliant song... Listening to these guys now. Tears for Fears also didn't care about then but def appreciate now
@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 colour of Spring is a Great Album..but Spirit of Eden is currently blowing me away..seems almost impossible you could write songs like the ones on this album and it could be produced and released..especially with what was happening musically around him at the time. Exquisite..and I absolutely love it.
@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 on such another level..love to everyone involved including the producer who knew what was up and didn’t stear towards anything commercial. Was just listening to Mark interviews talking music and the making of his albums ..beautiful person..tears in my eyes
Brilliant overview of their career. Not really familiar with the discography but I found this video very interesting. I wonder why he never made anymore music beyond early 90’s?
Nice tribute Jeff, it was only on my mind this morning about when we get old and we can't recall who's died and who's not. Was it only two years ago? Seems longer after the last two years. Belated HNY to you.
was a surprise when he checked out. Every time you hear no doubts version and Gwen warbling away to its my life he can't help but think of the original. Well they weren't a phenomenal band they were a good band to me I got a couple of their albums through the years.
Mark Hollis had an amazing, haunting voice that captured your heart.
Absolutely Alan! His was a one of a kind voice.

I need to get that concert on DVD and also the live album!
To my shame only since Mark died I discovered their music. Spirit of an Eden blew me away when I heard it first.
It’s such a great album!
Mark Hollis' solo album is probably my favourite album of all time.
Thanks for nice tribute Jeff ! I'm so suprised to see how Mark was forgotten in France. I consider him as a real genius of music. Rest in peace Mark, you will be in our heart for ever . ❣
Thanks Rico! A musical genius gone too soon.

Colour Of Spring. Still my favorite album of all time.
One of my favorites also!
Rip mark hollis absolutely fantastic back in the day ❤

I agree completely, David!
Why no mention of "Laughing Stock"? I find this somewhat confusing!
@@Katehowe3010 I didn't mention The Party's Over either ..
@@davidellis5141 Well that doesn't surprise me, being that it's hardly groundbreaking.

They were unique, great band

Great video talk talk was so good
Great tribute-thanks

I will check those out, thanks!
Thnx ❤Rip Mark ❤

They are such a criminally under appreciated band. Thanks for watching!

Top Class Review ❤ Talk Talk ❤❤
Great video
Thank you!

Spring is definitely underrated as an album

There was really no band anywhere that compares to Talk Talk then or now. It is never a liability to have attractive musicians in your band. 😉
The last thing that I'm aware of that Mark Hollis allowed to be released was a short piece of music for the 'Boss' soundtrack. Check Mark Hollis ARB Section 1 (2012).
Much more than any synth pop band! Talk Talk were more moody and more like Tears For Fears. One of my all time favourite 80's bands,
Mine too. Tears for Fears is another of my favorites. Thanks for watching!
Great video for a much underrated band. I own all their albums on vinyl, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock are masterpieces, both getting 10's from Pitchfork in their original album reviews. Keep up the good work..

Japan i always felt was another interesting band. Released several derivative albums then discovered their sound with Tin drum and split up.
Yes! I just bought my first Japan album over the summer.
Great overview of an over looked band. Their transition reminds me of Japan - David Sylvian solo. Thanks for the video. 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!

Great video Jeff, nice breakdown of their career! I’m actually unfamiliar with this band! This was very informative 👍🤘🤘
Thanks brother! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
A couple of mistakes here. Talk Talk started as a four piece, and Hollis's solo album was released in '98!
Talk Talk didn't land for me in the 80's when I was others ll in pn Britpop...New Order..Smiths. Depeche Mode etc...but older now with a music composition hobby ( Christopher Wall on Spotify)..LOVE 'Life is What You Make it'! Brilliant song...
Listening to these guys now. Tears for Fears also didn't care about then but def appreciate now
Otherwise in*
Yeah I also didn’t get into Talk Talk until well after they broke up. Glad I rediscovered them.

@@christopherwall444 I agree! An album that was totally on another level for that period of time.

I’m not sure? Maybe he was burned out or got discouraged that the records weren’t selling? He seemed like an interesting guy.
La France ecoute toujours talk talk !

Not a phenomenal band? They only invented a new genre in Post Rock!
@@Katehowe3010 if you worship the ground they walked on well that's wonderful God bless you
That's my opinion and my opinion only
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist And mine wasn't?
Talk Talk is often overlooked....Such a Shame.
Si quelqu un sait ou repose Mr Mark Hollis?
I am not sure?
Pouvez vous essayer de vous renseignez?
