Tears for Fears: C or D?

even "hey jude"?

*snort* You know, the sad part is that you're probably right. Aw.

Proving that she has very unpopular tastes in just about everything,

got that right here.

"Listen" is classic beyond belief.

TFF are one of those bands where I have minimal objectivity - I love it all (except Curt's solo work, arf!). _The Hurting_ and _Songs From The Big Chair_ expressed everything I felt at 17 and were one of the introductory points to a whole world of music beyond Casey Kasum.

The reunion album was genuinely fantastic - and I had pretty low expectations. Roland's solo album is a louder and more aggressive than TFF stuff, good stuff.

Annoying note about the recent deluxe Big Chair - it left off "The Conflict" found only on the 99 remaster!

Yes, "Listen" is especially good.

I love this phrase, we really do think alike, Mr. Odd.

CLASSIC to the 1 x 10^150th degree.

Except: Casey counted down all those Big Chair singles.

Oh, the irony! I was totally stunned the first time I heard "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" in a mall or someplace.

Oh I know, man, I never expected any of that album to break in the States. I was pretty certain they were going to stay a British phenomenon! It's just freaky the way some things cross over and some don't.

Such an odd album too! Bedsit miserabilism sits comfortably beside arena rockism.

The only huge album of its era to which I can compare it is So.

Playing "The Hurting" now in its entirety, and feeling weird.

I mean I bought that LP back when but I really don't remember a damn thing about it, so this is just downright weird.

No one's mentioned Pharoahs yet. Really surprised.

i've been fascinated by this band the last month or so.
some really compelling tracks and some fantastic lyrics.
essentially a wonderful singles band, i guess. i find it hard to connect with a number of the songs as they play out on the albums.

Yeah, I really never get over these guys. Pulled out a bunch of remixes and single versions someone gave me recently. "The Way You Are" is a fun track.

I just bought a ticket to see Tears For Fears at a winery just outside of Seattle in July. Am I happy and in shock? You better fucking believe it.

Winery?

What is that, an offlicense?

Hahah no, I've actually been there, they grow the freaking grapes there and everything. If you take a tour, they'll show you the oak barrels where they age their Chardonnay.

I don't think they make any pink wine, though, which in my opinion is an awful strike against them, but I do believe I had a pink champagne of theirs once.

My mom's an "American Idol" addict who called me last week raving about Adam Lambert's "Mad World" ("I'm sure I've heard it before, it sounds so familiar") and even got me to d/l and email her a copy

Well, they are a very whiney band.

Sorry.

*bah dum dum* **crash**

Anybody seen them live recently? I'll probably go see them Saturday night because it's a free show and all, but I was wondering how they're managing these days.

just saw them last night and it was a pretty great show, did all the songs you'd expect about as well as you could hope for

Last week I actually heard "God's Mistake" at a CVS.

they played my 2 favorite songs at the end of the main set and i just took out my earplugs and felt total euphoria for a few minutes

Good to know, thanks!
