What's the appeal of country music? The monotony is just brutal.
Song structure, singing style, lyrics, all of the instrumentation...there's so little variety it's mind boggling. We're going on 20+ years of the same songs. The drummers and bass players in these bands must be suicidal.

You know who's aged surprisingly well? Tears for Fears:

Their music is still being used frequently in modern commercials. If you'd argued that TFF would have more staying power than INXS sometime during the late 80s, people would have written you off as crazy. But here we are.
Missed this a few months ago.
Call me crazy. I've listened to Song From the Big Chair more than any album ever. It's so mature and complex. Orzabal's voice is one of the very few who sounds the same live as recorded.
I expected some comment from you on that post, but when none was forthcoming, I assumed you didn't like Tears for Fears. Glad that's not the case.
And btw, there wasn't anything wrong with INXS
Never said there was! They just had a much higher profile than Tears for Fears in the late '80s, so it's ironic that they've aged better.
Sorry was gonna put a wink at the end.
Being in college at the time, they were both 1st Team All Stars with the college rock crowd along with U2, REM, Smiths , Cure, Depeche, New Order, etc. The big diff was MTV and Michael Hutchence being a classic front man. Chicks dug him. Besides Everyone Wants to Rule the World, TFF's stuff isn't as poppy. I wouldn't surprise me if Songs From the Big Chair has sold more to date than Kick.
