blending psychology with pop music, Tears for Fears burst into the music scene categorized under the New Wave banner. international success came easy as hit after hit followed, blowing that category to smithereens as TFF made danceable, thoughtful pop songs that slightly differed from the norm. but their shining moment was coming out after their long break with their third album, The Seeds of Love, where they scrapped their psychology-driven songwriting and just listened to the pulse of the world. a big bonus: the discovery of Oleta Adams (which explains the song on the top of my list here). their overall body of work is respectable, and you're a hypocrite if you say you don't love great pop hooks.
