"The Hurting" is an incredible album, nuthin' guilty there.

Posted by Horned Gramma on Mar 17, 2011, 7:01pm

Songs From the Big Chair, Seeds of Love, Raoul and the Kings of Spain... They were fuckin' solid.

Posted by Friendly Destroyer on Mar 17, 2011, 7:06pm

Yup. I grew up with the cassettes and fuckin loved them because it was a cassette I had and it jived with my kiddie brain. Later when I was nearing twenty and knew a little more about musics I realized how great of a songwriter Roland actually was.

He has one of the truly great underappreciated voices of rock and roll.

Posted by StormyPinkness on Mar 17, 2011, 7:10pm

I LOVE that guy's voice.

Posted by Shaxspear III Esq. on Mar 17, 2011, 8:18pm

I LOVE that song

Posted by blacksmile on Mar 17, 2011, 8:56pm

Man I haven't thought about Tears For Fears in ages. The Seeds of Love is a great album and one that was a staple for me at the end of my junior high years. Fuck that makes me sound old.

I love Tears For Fears, especially that song. Speaking of the Donnie Darko soundtrack, the Gary Joules version of "Mad World" came on at trivia this week. Nailed it.

Nice. I fucking love the score from that movie. The Liquid Spear Waltz is sooooooooooooo good... and so is Gretchen Ross.

Article about Nu metal: http://www.avclub.com/articles/part-9-19....bizkit,51471/1/

Best line: But no matter how hard I tried to give Korn a fair shake—which, truth be told, probably wasn’t that hard—my personal grudge against the band had turned into an unstoppable Anton Chigurh rampaging across the terrain with nothing but bloody murder on its mind.

This article is one in a series called "What Ever Happened to Alternative Nation," chronicling alternative music one year at a time starting in 1990. Its really good. The AV club is quickly sucking away my time... Their writers are super good.

Why miss them? Its nice to be nostalgic for them, but I'm glad that the music world moved on.

Also, Josie is the best song about star wars.

Posted by Pea on Mar 22, 2011, 9:05pm

I don't mean "miss them" as in I want that style of music to come back. I meant just as a "looking into my past" sort of way.

Posted by J. Walter Weatherman on Mar 22, 2011, 9:09pm

Ah. Then yes, totally.
