I think they are one of the premier Alt/new wave bands of the era, along side The Smiths, Simple Minds, etc...no where near Talking Heads however

Somewhere between Flock of Seagulls and Simple Minds.

Depends on if you classify Styx as a 70's or 80's band.

I kind of agree with this.

What do you classify them as?

Mothers Talk is about the only song I liked from them.
along The Smiths? not really
Simple Minds? kind of, but I prefer Simple Minds over Tears for Fears.

To even put them in the same sentence as simple minds or the smiths is really a giant insult.
They weren't terrible but the simple minds made incredible music.
I think flock of seagulls is about right. Maybe howard jones.

Who did they/do they influence?
Tears? No one.
Simple Minds? Possibly.
The Smiths? Definitely.

That's a pretty big assumption

1. Talking Heads
2. Devo
3. Smiths
4. Simple Minds
5. Tears for Fears
6. Depeche Mode
7. Pet Shop Boys
8. Human League
9. Duran Duran
10. The English Beat
Honorable Mention: Oingo Boingo

No Flock of Seagulls brah?
Posted on 3/12/14 at 1:58 pm to Spaulding Smails
There is no way that Tears for Fears ranks higher than Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, or Duran Duran.
Probably not even Human League.
Nor would I put Devo above the Smiths.
Simple Minds would be 8th at best on that list.

Agreed.
The Smiths are the only band out of those mentioned I ever listen to these days.
Actually I do listen to "I Ran" quite a bit.

"Space age love song" is a pretty tight song
