Two of the most influential progressive pop albums, released by Tears for Fears. Which one do the fellow forum users prefer? Leave a vote and a comment.

Songs From The Big Chair is the better album, but I think Seeds of Love has even higher peaks so i'll pick that.

Seeds of Love. Psych/Beatles infused pop rock. And it has Phil Collins on drums before he ruined prog and Christianity.

The Big Chair. Starting The Seeds Of Love from track 3, both equally.

I love both albums pretty evenly. Songs From the Big Chair started it for me, but easily now both are fantastic albums with great production.

Both great, but Big Chair is my clear favorite (actually The Hurting has most of my favorite songs, so it’s up there too), mainly for nostalgic reasons. I didn’t really get into Seeds until many years later, but Big Chair was a Big Part of my high school years.

Both good albums, but not good enough for investing the time now to find out what I really like better.

I love both albums. TBC is probably stronger overall but TSOL has some great high points. So I will sit on the fence and say both.
