Tears for Fears was a part of the “Second British Invasion” that included bands like Duran Duran, Bananarama, Depeche Mode, Human League, and so many others. All the good Brit synth pop/alternative music of the 80s. If you know the 80s, you know Tears for Fears. You guys really need an early to mid-80s teen movie night with 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Better Off Dead. Fill yourself with 80s stuff and you will never again have to wonder what decade an 80s song came from.
@centuryrox2 жыл бұрын
And all of the second British invasion was helped immensely by MTV in the early 80s. Those bands are so well-known now, but probably would've never been known without MTV (you know, the channel that stands for MUSIC TELEVISION, but never plays music anymore, and hasn't for about 25 years now)

Right On! They like alot of UK British Groups met in School or as Children. They were luckier than ost Duos like Wham and even Hall & Oates because they each took turns singing lead. The Drummer is Manny Elias and their Keyboard Player is Ian Stewart. They also had a Song called "Mad World" that was covered by Gary Jules and someone used it to pay homage to folks who died of AIDS. In 1985 when American Bandstand celebrated 33 1/3 Years on The Air they did their Follow Up "Head Over Heels". Also if you listen carefully the Guitar Riff may have been inspired by "Don't Mess With Bill" by The Marvelettes.

Their first big US hit was "Shout." They also had this one, "Head Over Heels," and "Sowing The Seeds of Love" (which has big Beatles vibes). "Mad World" was a hit in the UK for them but the haunting cover version by Gary Jules was a US hit many years later. (Speaking of cover versions, Lorde has an amazing cover of "Everybody Wants To Rule The World.") My very favorite Tears For Fears song is "Mothers Talk"! Btw, the two guys, Curt and Roland, switch up who sings lead. This was Curt; Roland sings lead on all the others I mentioned except Mad World. Both their voices are lovely, but Roland's is a bit stronger.

@richardgoddard372 жыл бұрын
TFF were one of the biggest bands of the 80s in the UK, and much of the world. Catchy tunes, clever thoughtful lyrics, and they weren't afraid to experiment. Very much like Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, and The Human League. They all had loads of hits, pushed the limits, and are still going strong.

In all these videos that I can watch there are those like you who are attentive to what is happening who discover admiration the music of their fathers and mothers and I love watching their reactions. And there are those who are too deeply rooted in a certain musical culture who take it down, forgetting that they come from the past. As I always say I love it when young people listen to old man's music.

There were more #1 hits (more than 140) during the 80's than in any other decade before or since. So, even though you've reacted to a lot of 80's bands/groups/artists, you still haven't scratched the surface and there is still so much more awesomeness that you will eventually discover. :)

OMG, so excited that you finally got to Tears For Fears. They are still sooo amazing. The two leads (Roland and Curt) trade off on who sings lead for each song and sometimes they go back and forth in the same song... Listen to ALL of their hits. They are definitely NOT one hit wonders. They were part of the 80s new wave, synth pop stuff, but eventually went in a more progressive alternative side. At some point they split and Roland continued with the band and some new members.. their vibe was a little different, but still awesome. They are back together since 2000 and have a new song out now... dropped like just the other day. It is fabulous. Madworld (this one has been remade A LOT) Head Over Heals (on of my all time faves) Shout Sowing the Seeds of Love (very deep) Raoul and the Kings of Spain Elemental The Working Hour (this one recently keeps popping into my head) Woman In Chains Break It Down Again Pale Shelter
