It’s a good read as well. I grew up with Sidebottom on C4, completely bonkers

VOB, from Indonesia
Why don’t we have such bands in the US?
And metal is becoming the international language of music, Anywhere you go - Mongolia, Indonesia, Africa, there’s a metal community doing music in their style.

Technically it’s Monday here in DC, but I’m gonna pretend it’s very, very, very late on Friday.

Not only is it a magnificent song, the video takes place in a LIBRARY.
Roland Orzabal is trying to woo a LIBRARIAN.
Then I found a video of this guy pulling the song apart and showing all my favorite bits:
How was everyone’s weekend?

Looking forward to it, @TNKA36 !
@howard oh, Mad World! The Goths I know all love this song, and Tears for Fears in general. but they prefer the slower, 10x sadder Gary Jules cover. Cool video, haunting rendition - but I can’t listen to it anymore. I’ll take the TfF original, thank you!
Anyone see the 80s movie Real Genius? Everybody Wants to Rule the World inevitably makes me think of…popcorn
This is what I was listening to in the 80s

That kind of metal was '70s and very early '80s for me. The '80s is where it started to suck and trend hair metal, frankly. I was mostly done with it by '83 or so, except on the punk side.
'80s for me was all post-punk, darkwave, underground electronic/dance, electro-industrial and hardcore punk.

After the Clash, Dead Kennedy’s, and Ramones broke up I was mostly out of punk. When I started with punk it was wide open and devolved into spikey hair. I happily skipped hair metal, but the Big Four gave us something to rock to. And there’s always Dio.
That’s until the 90s with Judy and Mary and Pizzicato 5
