Tears For Fears are awesome! I've seen them twice, once on the Seeds of Love tour and at KROQ Inland Invasion for Everybody Loves A Happy Ending.
"The Seeds of Love' is one of my favorite POP albums. Every song is just a pure pop jem. "Badman's Song" had a great, fluid jazzy feel and "Year of the Knife" is pure genius. "Standing on the Corner of the Third World", "Woman In Chains" . .. god, what a GREAT album.
The last one was pretty good too, and of course "The Hurting" and "Songs From The Big Chair" are just ABSOLUTE 80's classics and great, great albums in their own right!!
"Seeds of Love" was supposed to be their John Lennon/Beatles album, and Everybody Loves A Happy Ending was supposed to be their Paul McCartney/Beatles album. Of course, my tastes aligning how they always have, I prefer "Seeds of Love"!!!!
