One of my very favorite Tears For Fears songs. Great performance.

The Thompson Twins aren't synth pop. They created a unique sound by using percussion for melody...and Sherrie Currie had fantastic mammalian protuberances.

She turned down $1 million to pose for Playboy.

They were considered new wave/synth-pop.

I was going to go… but I have totally blown my concert budget for the year. It should be awesome.

Curious what concerts have you seen so far this year? I haven't been to any.

Metallica in Buffalo
ZZ Top at Fallsview
Roger Waters
Iron Maiden this Oct

Had tx to Journey, but they kept pushing the date back. Was actually on the GO train heading to the show in May, when I checked the app to see when doors open only to discover it have been postponed. I took a refund.

I have passed on Bill Burr, Craig Ferguson, Blue Rodeo, Kathleen Madigan, a Bills Game and few other I can’t think of off hand.

I actually posted this in the Black Music thread because it definitely incorporates some r&b/soul elements. Naked Eyes were more new wave than synthpop but I often combine the 2 genres. Plus there isn't a new wave thread here. This particular remix is intoxicating. Put your headphones on and prepare to be mesmerized

Wouldn't It Be Good is in my top 10 synth pop songs ever And this remix just takes it to the next level. Nik Kershaw was a talent.
