Hello! How are you?

Tears for Fears has a big influence of progressive rock, mainly from Peter Gabriel, Brian Eno, Pink Floyd and Beatles's art rock. Their albums Songs From The Big Chair, The Seeds Of Love and Elemental are considered to be progressive pop, according to Wikipedia and to many music critics.

Songs like Badman's Song and Broken/Head Over Heels/Broken are very progressive. They are long, have a progression, don't follow the pattern AABABB, can be divided in parts, have a complex instrumental, have influences of jazz, some use cello, violin and orchestra, etc.

I prepared a playlist with their most progressive songs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB-k6sKgmLvoO2PZB0uOp-LZwH578KXQn


Because of that, I think they should have a page on progarchives. Bands like Talk Talk have a page, and Tears for Fears is at least as progressive as Talk Talk.


Thanks for the attention,
Yuri Aguiar.

not again...

Talk Talk are here because they made two fully prog albums, not just prog related. 

Prog related is not a prog subgenre, please read about it. 

Threads that start with if X is here, then Y should be, too, should just be closed. 

hey, let's have ABBA under prog related, their keyboardist was pretty competent on the keys.

We're not gonna entertain this idea seriously, sorry. Please familiarize yourself more with how the site categorizes artists by browsing the definitions of the genres before making suggestions.
