For those who don't know them - and, of course, for those who do. Keith Flint was the vocalist with Prodigy and an amazing, iconic front man. Mark Hollis was the brains and singer behind Talk Talk. Two of their biggest hits. Both brilliant.

Totally agree with you, both bands are not my bag but I appreciate how good they were in their field.
On the day Mark Hollis died they played the “Talk Talk” single and I’d forgotten how good it was.
Good Shout Morty 👍

Thanks for putting these up for us ignorants. Will listen to the videos later.

While the music isn't for me (I'm obviously very narrow-minded in that respect), I've learned since that Keith Flint obviously committed suicide because his wife left him. Very sad ..

Talk Talk were absolutely brilliant. Musicians from all kinds of genres have said so before Mark died, but now even more so. Peter Gabriel, Roland Orzabal, Steven Wilson to name but three.
One thing that made TT so brilliant was that they started out as a relatively ambitious synth-pop band (with interesting and unusual chord progressions) and progressed at immense speed until they created an entirely new genre. No song exemplifies this more than "Desire":
Mark didn't especially like being in the public interest (which accounts for him basically disappearing from the scene after 1998), but they made some brilliant videos nonetheless...

I hadn’t realised Mark Hollis had died...very sad ☹️
You learn a lot on this site. Loved Talk Talk back in the day, as regards, Keith Flint what a sad end to his life. Mental health is such a terrible illness.
