Or you could go the other direction and start talking about Eno and Fripp in relation to Bowie or Eno with U2 or if you read the fine print on the back of Another Green World you find a Phil Collins mentioned. But please, let's not go that direction...

The Eno influence is vast and has many streams. Not all of them are ones that I need to explore.

Phil's on a number of Eno LPs.
Bowie's "Low" and "Heroes" have their fine Eno moments. "Lodger" is a tough sell for me.
Eno produced "Remain in Light." Some of the great guitar riffs were Adrian Belew's (King Crimson) studio noodling, "stolen" by Eno and looped into the songs. Robert Fripp (King Crimson) played axe on Eno-produced "Fear of Music." See where I'm going?

Also if you get a chance to see Byrne play live he does a bunch of the Eno complilation songs. I saw hin last summer here in DC and it was one of the best shows I got to see this year.

The record is called Movies by Holger Czukay from 1979, it is very similar in construction to what Eno was doing at the time.
damn, I'm talking to myself in public again...........

Please stop me before I get to the "Thief" soundtrack.
Nice name-check on Holger, spideyjack. Can is some good Krautrock.

Talking Head Remain in Light
Eno Byrne My Life in the Bush of Ghost
Jerry Harrison The Red and The Black
David Byrne The Catherine Wheel
All came out around the same time and are all excellent albums.
In fact Remain In Light had a profound impact on my music listing in 1980.
And I believe they all have Adrian Belew on Guitar which is one reason they are great records (he might not be on My Life…).
I own most everything eno has done both as producer and musician

Plight and Premonition, issued in 1988, and Flux and Mutability in 1989
Holger Czukay’s two albums with David Sylvain also have a lot of radio and found sound They are Plight and Premonition, issued in 1988, and Flux and Mutability in 1989

...formerly of the Modern Lovers.
Don't forget Tom Tom Club, Tina Weymouth's Talking Heads alter ego.
I picked up a promo copy of "Bush" just about a month ago. Played the **** out of the cassette in college.

Remain in Light is hands down my favorite, and Belew makes pretty much anything better.

Singing or playing? My opinion differs based on which but since Crimson is one of my favorite bands his singing really doesn't bother me that much. But to use a Frank-ism, "shut up 'n play yer guitar".

I really like their most recent collaboration "Everything That Has Happened..." and it's a strong contender for my favorite album of 2008.
