I remember when NPR did the whole 100 most important albums thing ~20 years ago and loved the segment on this song that they mention in the post too: https://www.npr.org/2000/03/27/1072131/once-in-a-lifetime https://www.npr.org/2000/03/27/1072131/once-in-a-lifetime It highlighted for me that Byrne and Eno wanted to do something evoking a southern baptist church singing where the pastor makes a call and the audience responds. Once you realize that basic structure of call and response you'll hear it in so much modern and popular music today. The entire NPR 100 series is solid gold and introduced me to so many albums and musicians that became favorites to this day.
