I just don't like their music personally, if someone else does that's great for them. That's why I find these threads so funny because if I like something I really don't care what others think of the music. If they don't like it, whatever. Doesn't make me like it any less because someone else doesn't Hell, I liked Nelly Furtado's first two albums a lot if we are just being honest here and I don't have any friends that do and they'd be like "why the fuck do you have these cds?" and try to clown but I never cared because to me good music is good music.
Also I don't give a fuck about hits. The two songs you posted by Tears for Fears are their only number one hits (in the US) and while I think both are good songs they are two of my least favorite ones from Songs from the Big Chair. Infact The Hurting is a much better album in my opinon by them and it didn't have a single US hit. So, yeah. Plus their are quite a few 80s bands (not just the more poppy stuff like ToF) that I love that never had a single hit.
Anyways..
THE 80s, FUCK YEAH!
