Sorry, but although Tim Friese-Greene's contributions to the band are undeniable, he was not an official member!
And the award for the world's best titled Wikipedia page goes to... this one! --Robdurbar 21:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
What about this one? [[1]] Jodamu 14:40, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Mark Hollis has a nice house on Wimbeldon. But he lived in Suffolk in mid 80's. He went back to London early 90's so his kids could learn the real live. 85.191.48.191 (talk) 16:44, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

On the Beggars Banquet punk compilation Streets (punk album) there's a song called "Talk Talk Talk Talk" by a band called the Reaction. It seems to be the same song as "Talk Talk" and the track was produced by Ed "Eddie and the Hot Rods" Hollis, Mark Hollis's brother. Seems pretty obvious that the Talk Talk grew out of, or was, the Reaction, as this was Mark Hollis' first band. 192.58.204.226 19:21, 1 September 2009 (UTC) naznomad 1 September, 2009
Can't see any reference on the linked Lights page to Talk Talk being an influence on her. Consider removing?--Frank poulankh (talk) 15:12, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
In my openion the page move is not ideal and seems overly concerneded with convention and anti common sense. I'd like to reverse it, but it would be now over a redirect, so would need admin super powers. Ceoil (talk) 23:45, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
|Part of my reasoning behind this was some changes I am in the process of making to TalkTalk Group articles. I will redirect the page TalkTalk and away from the disambiguation page back to this page, it was just to try and avoid any confusion. Mark999 (talk) 01:32, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: withdrawn as premature. As pointed out by Noetica, the band-and-company (also "talk talk"/"Talk Talk") situation is messy. We will be taking this situation first in WT:disambiguation, so someone knows what to do there. --George Ho (talk) 04:03, 15 May 2012 (UTC) George Ho (talk) 04:03, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
Talk Talk (band) → Talk Talk – Somehow, no other topics surpass the band "Talk Talk" from UK. Not even Talk Talk (novel) ([2]) or TalkTalk Group. I don't know why disambiguating it is necessary, so disambiguating the band is pointless. The past discussions above proves that disambiguating the topic is pointless. --George Ho (talk) 04:20, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
I think this should have a full discussion (not just a speedy rename statement). I note that the redirect Talk Talk (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) has pointed to several different articles. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 03:55, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
I think this person has this wrong: "Talk Talk" is redirected to the band... well, I redirected "talk talk" from the disambiguation to the band for easier use. --George Ho (talk) 04:20, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
25 years since Spirit of Eden. Best finish this article before all those who heard them are dead. I noted that the record sales are entirely focused on the UK; that downplays their huge following in Europe. Also, Mr. Hollis, thanks. Drmies (talk) 03:21, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
Hello,
can we agree to throw out "post-progressive" from the genre list? As far as I know, no other source uses this term to describe Talk Talk. It's not even an established genre, but a concept that appears in three or four books on progressive rock; no bands are commonly described as post-progressive. Also the Wikipedia page on "post-progressive" says that the label only applies to progressive rock bands, while most critics would agree that Talk Talk wasn't one, so this introduces confusion. I tried removing it myself, but an editor keeps restoring it without addressing my concerns. Chilton (talk) 18:57, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
The credits for the original Spirit LP start with Lee, Paul, Tim and Mark in this order, and then supporting musicians (see [3]) suggesting that by 1988 Tim was already considered a member of the band. Nowak Kowalski (talk) 22:41, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Determining band members can be a legal nightmare. If there is a legal entity called "Talk Talk" there will be a list of directors or members, but if one member feels they can decide who is in and who is out they may disagree, and some fans will agree with them while others may not. The press may heavily promote membership for a performer without being legally precise. I would expect a member of a band to be given a fair share of sales, and not just a session fee and that may be a good way to decide who is a member on any given recording or performance. I have no specific details about "Talk Talk" in this regard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by X9Tim (talk • contribs) 14:01, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
