I am very shocked and saddened to hear the news of the passing of Mark Hollis. Musically he was a genius and it was a honour and a privilege to have been in a band with him. I have not seen Mark for many years, but like many musicians of our generation I have been profoundly influenced by his trailblazing musical ideas. He knew how to create depth of feeling with sound and space like no other. He was one of the greats, if not the greatest. . . . . #markhollis #talktalk

Lai arī plašāku popularitāti grupa ieguva 80. gadu sākumā ar popmūzikas skaņdarbiem, tieši 1988. gada albums "Spirit of Eden" un 1991. gada "Laughing Stock" pacēla grupu jaunā līmenī.

Tādas grupas kā "Radiohead", "Sigur Rós", "Portishead" intervijās neslēpj, ka būtiski ietekmējās no "Talk Talk".

Talk Talk "It’s My Life"

Talk Talk "Life's What You Make It"

1998. gadā Holiss izdeva vienīgo solo albumu un tad no mūzikas aizgāja, pievēršoties ģimenes dzīvei.
