    Tears For Fears have some sonic masterpieces in their catalogue. Roland looks like a grey-haired Jesus now.

    One of those groups way way better than their big hits suggest.

    their big hits are fucking great

    Lots of people agree with you on that one. I absolutely admire the craft behind the songs but tune out or turn off whenever I here something like 'Shout' come on. Can't stand it.

    I kinda hear ya but “Head over heels” and “Sowing the Seeds of Love” are hits that were absolutely awesome.

    I'm more thinking how over-produced the era of the bigger hits like Shout, Mad World, Everybody... kind of wrecked their earlier 80s cred (to me) of songs like Change and Pale Shelter.

    Can't stand 'Shout' to the point I have not given any of their other songs a chance. I am surprised to read a few of you rate them.

    I wouldn’t say I can’t stand it but yeah, definitely yet another band who are so much better than their biggest hits.

    I reckon this is one of their best, epic song

    I'd agree with the hipster tag if I was picking and rating their stuff in retrospect but I was around through their early stuff and move to international success so this is from memories of hearing them at the time.
    The Hurting was a big influence on the sound many NZ bands aspired to in the day but by the time things got to Songs from the Big Chair, looking back it helped create some absolutely dire 80s sounds. Producers had all sorts of new tools and techniques coming through and were extremely heavy handed with them.So much of the music in that mid 80s period could do with the source 24/48 track tapes being re-mixed and re-mastered.
    We were all copying it as the latest thing but listening back, even to artists that I have stuck with, some of it is a painful listn.

    Not too many 2-minute pop songs come with a 45-second drum solo, but this one does. And you can dance to it. A classic.

    I put this on and was instantly worried the gimp was going to come out.

    The drumming was very cool

    @MN5 I can honestly say that the song does nothing for me. The video is cool but I didn’t grow up with the early 80s British music.

    @MN5 funny how old actresses turn up in music vids from their early days. Keeley Hawes looks pretty hot in this this one from the Mutton Birds time of trying to crack the UK.
