Tears For Fears are probably my favourite band. What are you favourite songs of theirs?

My favourite 5 are probably Broken, Working Hour, Famous Last Words, Start of the Breakdown ad Year of the Knife.

I know it's an obvious one but Everybody Wants to Rule the World is probably in my top ten songs of all time. It's a superbly constructed pop song I never tire of hearing. The other 4 to complete my Tears for Fears top 5 would be Working Hour, Advice for the Young at Heart, Change and Mothers Talk.

Really like oasis as well.

Mine is Head over heels. Great song.

I loved their early stuff, but Sowing the Seeds of Love is an awesome pop song; it's got everything!

Not half. The whole Seeds of Love album had everything including the kitchen sink thrown into the production.

I'd agree on that, very Sgt Pepper but better. Not my fave band but they do bring back memories of being young.

Tbf I can go from listening to pearl jam to micheal bubble to Conway Twitty to the doors all in one night

Can you like the Stone Roses without liking the Rolling Stones.

Of all the bands given the tile of the new Stones through the years they came the closest for a while IMHO. They reminded me very much of the Brain Jones version of the Stones when they experimented with the likes of Paint it black culminating with Sympathy for the Devil. Before Keith locked them into a straight R&B/R&R - thus making them more or less a performance band only - that's not to say what followed was bad it wasn't but it was never ever groundbreaking again.

Shame the Roses didn't move on as it would have been nice to see what came next.

Bands who I used to love.....

Radiohead
Suede

The Beatles

Check out Canadian psychobilly band "The Creepshow." Catchy and bizarre in equal measures. A mix between The Meteors (but with more talent) and Rancid but with a far better looking lead singer.
Try starting with "Zombies ate her brain."

He is huge in France, and just about everywhere else.

Has anyone hear heard anything of the band Propagandhi. Obviously haven't heard every band out there by any stretch of the imagination but, in my opinion, they are one of the most important and best bands around today.

Other bands I like are;

A Wilhelm Scream
The Dead Kennedys
Pre Warning era Green Day
Bad Religion
Rentokill [austrian punk band
Milloy [from Wakefield
Streetlight Manifesto
Apologies I Have None
Rise Against
Polar Bear Club
Mallory Knox
The Story So Far
Finch
The Lawrence Arms
Billy Talent
Strike Anywhere
Smoke Or Fire
The Swellers
The Bronx

Clutch are one of the coolest bands ever

they be good but i personally prefer Five Horse Johnson as well as Dixie Witch, The Atomic Bitchwax are quite awesome as well
