Tears For Fears was better than any of these bands. I can see the argument for DD, but not the others.

The Smiths were 40 times better than any other band mentioned in this thread.

I like the Smiths a lot, but I would argue to say that Talking Heads>The Smiths

It is close

Wow, I just don't see that at all. But then again, I think The Smiths were amazing, and Talking Heads pretty meh.

I did like the big suit. They did pretty well for not really being musicians. Comparing them to The Smiths really isn't fair.

I can agree with that. Talking Heads had a unique sound whereas The Smiths sound like almost every other New Wave artists

Better than Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys? No way. Maybe a the same playing field as Pet Shop Boys, but Depeche Mode and Duran Duran and definitely better.

Shut your mouth! Duran Duran and Depeche Mode should be top 5!
