    Jason Quick said that Terry Stotts isn't afraid to make bold changes.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    When things don't go your way, you talk about music.

    Or, if you're in the mood for something less divisive, politics.

    Tears For Fears perfectly mimicked BOTH the Beatles and Beach Boys on different albums.

    Seeing TFF in July. :)

    I guess that's why respected musicologists called Brian Wilson "The Best Songwriter Since Schubert".

    Oh wait, no. That was the Beatles.

    Neither are bagpipes, in the abstract. But that better not be all you've got going for you.

    Oh, you're after harmonies. I see why you prefer Beatles Year 1 over Year 2. Yes, by Rubber Soul and Revolver they had less of that Everly Brothers sound, evolving into just letting one solo guy lead the singing. Another good thing that faded away, the longer they went on. For most groups, entropy replaces rookie fear after the first hit album or two.

    Tears For Fears are responsible for more American male teens getting into bland clothes and getting terrible hair cuts in the 80's than any band bar the Smiths.

    Believe it when I see it. Although it is a change for him to even say that, since he usually says it's too late to try anything different.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Implicitly applying a quote from a Beatles fan to all "respected musicologists" is first of all pretty silly. Second of all, trying to support an opinion on the quality of art by saying "respected experts say it's great!" is pretty much what people who don't understand art do.

    To be fair to you, though, the Beatles' music isn't art.

    That's one of my favorite groups.

    I won't get into the battle of which group is better than another. But I will provide some of my favorite songs of all time (in no particular order).

    Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle
    Led Zeppelin - Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven
    John Lennon - Imagine
    Kenny Rogers - Lady (written by Lionel Richie)
    Lionel Richie - Hello
    Bill Withers - Just the Two of Us
    Metallica - Enter Sandman
    Stevie Wonder - I Just Called to Say I Love You
    Otis Redding - Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay
    Steve Winwood - The Finer Things
    Jerry Reed - Amos Moses (also enjoy the version by Primus)
    U2 - Lemon
    Dave Matthews Band - Crash Into Me

    It's great to have you back Minstrel but I'm starting to question your sanity.

    I kid.

    I honestly have no idea of any Tears for Fears songs. By the 80s, I had written off popular music. It was dead to me.

    posted during the game...

    There were literally thousands of guys who looked like this in the 80's. Probably working in IT now and hoping no one sees their old Depeche Mode posters.

    Yes. I'm over generalizing.

    You like slow music, except that Amos Moses is fast. I like quickness, some jerky beat that makes you get up and jump around. But it also must have a good tune. They don't write them like anymore.
