micro 0 #1 September 17, 2006 So I'm in Philly last week, eatin w/ Kenz and pumpin up condoms one night and on another I decide to go shoppin for some new music. In Best Buy I spy a two CD Deluxe Retro Super Delicious Spectacular Rerelease of Songs from the Big Chair by Tears for Fears. In the basket it goes, along w/ a new copy of Tool's Undertow (lost my old copy), Death Cab for Cutie's new one, and another two-disc rerelease of The Cure's The Head on The Door. Good stuff all the way around. But I have to tell you, I have forgotten just how incredibly mind blowingly good the Big Chair album was and is. It was just so influential when it hit back in the 80's... 85 I think it was. I was 15. It has some truly beautiful music on it. If you've never ever listened to it, you're missing on some of the best stuff around. Particularly good, IMO, are the following: The Working Hour Listen Ah hell, the whole album is great. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shell666 0 #6 September 17, 2006 QuoteIn Best Buy I spy a two CD Deluxe Retro Super Delicious Spectacular Rerelease of Songs from the Big Chair by Tears for Fears. In the basket it goes ... But I have to tell you, I have forgotten just how incredibly mind blowingly good the Big Chair album was and is. It was just so influential when it hit back in the 80's... 85 I think it was. I was 15. It has some truly beautiful music on it. If you've never ever listened to it, you're missing on some of the best stuff around. Particularly good, IMO, are the following: The Working Hour Listen OMG I love Tears for Fears! I saw them here in, I think, 1985 or '86 ... not great seats but not nose bleeds either. The show was amazing and afterwards, we decided to meet some friends at a piano bar in a lounge in a downtown hotel. We walk in there and lo and behold, who's there but Roland and Curt! Talked to them for a bit, they sang a few "lounge songs" with local piano player and went on their way. It was really cool. The one thing I remember about that is damn are they short!.
