Tears for Fears Was Amazing
- Thread starter Hecht
- Start date
For the longest time I thought Tears for Fears was some trash band because there was a Tears for Fears song among my phone ringtones and so I always associated them with like, the Nokia Mexican Hat ringtone
One of the first albums I ever bought. Loved every song on it.
Their later stuff was pretty good, but yeah Songs from the Big Chair was a masterpiece.

Tears for Fears always gives me that warm nostalgic feeling. Such good music from a better time with less issues. Man, I miss the 80s!
My parents really loved pop music when I was a kid so we were always rocking songs from the big chair. Every song plays in my head radio the moment I hear the name. I still enjoy all the songs, with fond memories.
I also enjoy the technical work on the guitar. Neil Taylor had a very cool sound that was maybe Proto-TheEdge... regardless there is a lot to enjoy.

I grew up with Tears for Fears, and all the songs in this thread are legit good.
It's just kinda wild how the Gary Jules cover of Mad World has become a meme. My daughter hums the opening notes to it whenever something comically tragic happens.

I hated Everybody Wants to Rule the World in the 80's because MTV played the hell out of it. I always groaned when the plane in the desert showed up on my screen. But I was 9 and dumb. It's one of those opinions I can't believe I ever had. Kind of like being a Republican in the 90's. How?
Tears for Fears was definitely overplayed in the 80s. You are not wrong about that.
But it also gave us moments like this.
Lol that's funny, I guess I'm not the only one. Really love this song
My favorite TFF is the stuff without Curt, like Elemental and Kings of Spain. Tomcats solo album is superb too. But Elemental, wow what an album.
They're the greatest New Wave band of all time, as far as I'm concerned.
My favourite songs of theirs are:
1) Head Over Heels
2) Everybody Wants to Rule the World
3) Tears Fall Down
4) Shout

Super underrated comparatively to the other big names of the 80's in my opinion. Songs from the Big Chair is a 10/10 album.
"There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you"
One of my favorite lyrics ever. And it goes without saying that I agree with the OP

Songs from the Big Chair was one of the best-selling albums of 1985, and it deserved it. Such a great album. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" was the #1 song in America when I started kindergarten, and it, "Shout," and "Head Over Heels" are quintessential 80s hits.
