I have been a fan since the mid 80's and wanted to know if any fans are here and what is your favorite song? Mine is "Sowing the seeds of love" that song just makes me happy and I think is the best Beatles inspired song I have ever heard Imo. What is everyone's fave Tears tunes?

Everybody wants to rule the world & Shout would be obvious choices because they were massive hits, but I liked Pale Shelter, Change and Mad World. Sowing the seeds is also cool in that grandiose manner .

That's a tough one. I love the whole "Sowing" CD. Badman's Song. Woman In Chains, Advice For The Young At Heart.


After Curt left Roland did a really cool cover of Radioheads "Creep" on the CD single of "God's Mistake." I like it better than Radioheads version."

Shout, Everybody Wants The Rule The World.

I have to get their new CD when I get over to Tower.

hmm... A favorite? ummmm....Damn! I don't know If I Can pick one...
well,these are my favorites:

Head Over Heels
Badman's Song
Advice For The Young At Heart
Everybody Wants To Rule The World
Brian Wilson Said
Sea Song
I Believe

me! me!
I loved "Sowing" too!
I have their album "Songs From The Big Chair," too.

Break It Down Again
No More Sleepy Dreamin'





Sowing the Seeds of Love was my favorite song for a VERY LONG TIME back in the day.

Famous last words- This song is truley beautiful; the fact that its about a nuclear apocolypse, coupled w/the fact that its the last complete song on the album makes it linger with you after its over.

Year of the Knife
Avice for the Young at Heart
Woman in Chains- I love the fact that it doesnt deal with femenism per se, but adresses womens right as a Human rights issue. Plus Oleta Adams is in the mix.
Pale Shelter
Mad World
Everybody...- Another political gem that I think was lost on the masses. I think all they heard was a very catchy tune.

I guess looking back on things, these guys were socially aware and it came through their music. Social commentary wrapped in lush soundscapes that was constantly all over the airwaves. I Love it!

peace.

Hmmm....a top 5 perhaps?

1. Memories Fade
2. The Working Hour
3. Who Killed Tangerine? (off the new album, possibly out at the end of the year)
4. Sowing The Seeds Of Love
5. Who You Are (Off the new album)

Me too!!

I really like all their albums...even with orzabal solo as TFF...

There are so many good songs.. i really like Raoul and the kings of spain as a whole cd..

But big chair rules too!!!!

I also like their 12 inches very very very much.

Looking forward to their new album...

Hehehe i like them so much, i even have Curt Smith's solo album hahahah!

I am so glad there are others here that love this group, and the song "Sowing the seeds" I don't know anyone who really knows much about them so it's hard to get a conversation going.

I do, i like their songs. Good singers.
