Tears For Fears

I would like to suggest TFF for inclusion on PA. The band as many know commenced in  1983 with their debut album The Hurting, a great concept album and whilst at times showing a commercial edge the more progressive creative tracks like Pale Shelter, Ideas as Opiates, Watch Me Bleed and Start of the Breakdown demonstrate solid progressive platforms and a hint at more creative work to come. That surfaced on their next album Songs From The Big Chair , another great conceptual album and while having the most commercial success as an album in both Europe and the USA the progressive influences are evident again on tracks like The Working Hour, Mother's Talk and Broken. The bonus tracks on this album alone provide a large foray of obscure and challenging sounds. The Seeds of Love probably was the first album as a whole that would qualify for Crossover/Art Rock as a complete work. Curt Smith left TFF after this release but the main creative force behind the band, Roland Orzabal continued the band working collaboratively with Nick Griffiths.
