“I was a big early Genesis fan and I loved King Crimson." How Tears For Fears added prog to pop and ruled the 80s A shared love of Blue Oyster Cult, Genesis and King Crimson saw Tears For Fears become much more than an 80s pop band. Roland Orzabal is talking about his fondness for Genesis and King Crimson. “I was a big early Genesis fan – Foxtrot particularly. And Genesis Live was great. I loved King Crimson – especially Discipline, if you can call that prog? It depends what you define as prog. There used to be a lot of reverse snobbery – Genesis came from a public school so therefore they can’t be any good, they’re ‘not like us’. Okay, punk rock was a jolt and a Copernican inversion. We went from having long hair and playing eight-minute guitar solos in our teenage band to all of a sudden covering The Damned! Fashion is incredibly powerful in music, in the zeitgeist. You got to a certain point in the late 70s where you could not wear flares anymore. And my platform shoes had to go. It was horrendous!” |

^ A big Shout out for prog fan Roland Orzabal.
By the way, the flares may be long gone but I still have my gold platform shoes. |

FURNITURE Known as one of the unluckiest bands in the New Wave scene, one-hit-wonders Furniture weren't a permanent fixture in the charts, but that may have been due to their label Stiff Records having gone bankrupt shortly after signing with them. 1986: Furniture - The Wrong People - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l_Ohi-esPEK96Of8vLvrz0Er0nCw69vYQ 1986: Furniture - The Lovemongers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0qowsmYAYM 1989: Furniture - Food, Sex & Paranoia - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYYXhO4UGqQ9TjPLXworjDw0Al896nvzR Year Pos.
