so... tears for fears...

Couldn't believe this song when a friend played it for me. Like if Dream Theater were an 80s pop band.
I've got a bootleg from a gig they did in Cleveland in 1990 and their banter was shit back then :)
Roland by leaps and bounds. I love Curt, but some of my favorite Tears for Fears is when Curt wasn't in the band. Plus Curt's solo stuff is pretty meh. Elemental with just Roland is an incredible Tears for Fears album.
Found some interesting trivia recently. Roland and Curt were in a band called Neon. They split and formed Tears for Fears while the other two guys split and formed Naked Eyes ("Promises, Promises" "Always Something There to Remind Me").

They made a song that I hate, so neither.
That's exactly what a very good boy would say! So modest.
Tears for fears made arguably the most repeat-listen value song of all time in Everybody wants to rule the world
Ahh.. I see this thread is filled with people of impeccable taste. Elemental shaped my adolescence, made me discover music in a way. When I was a kid I didn't understand or didn't like Gas Giants and Brian Wilson Said... Now in my late 30s I found them to be spectacular compositions. Its an album that's still keeps on giving almost 25 years later.
So its Roland for me babeh.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World is my favorite song of all time. So whichever one sang the original version of that I guess.
I had bought Songs from the Big Chair on cassette at the mall and me and a friend were riding our bikes back after and stopped at a friends house on the way. He asks what I'd picked up, and gave me shit for buying Tears for Fears. Then, freshman year of college I run into him again, and he's wearing a Seeds of Love shirt. I'm like, "late to the party, fucker!" Great band. Oh, and clearly the answer is Roland.
Yes, this song is incredible. I genuinely think it's one of the best things I've ever heard. I get chills just thinking about it.
It was so weird hearing the original for the first time after just knowing the Gary Jules cover
I've grown to like this, the Gary Jules version is just depressing, this is melancholy but also upbeat and makes you want to dance. It's very 80s in the best way
One of my all-time favorite groups. Goes without saying their OG stuff from the 80s is top-tier music.
We know that.
I thought I'd point out their last full album from 2004 to those not aware of it. Listened to this CD so much in highschool that I wore it out:

Pretty much every song from that album is on this amazing level. Really hoping they truly are getting their asses back in the studio for another album. I think they still have so much more to give us! Their greatness is not locked into the 1980s.

Tears for Fears is one of my all-time favorite bands. Nobody has mentioned Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down) yet?! My personal favorite.
