Tears for Fears
Frank Ockenfels*
Even in their heyday, Tears For Fears was never huge with teenyboppers, their posters didn’t adorn every teenager’s bedroom wall. Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal’s faces weren’t slapped onto your besties’ t-shirts. But, for a chunk of the ‘80s, the British band enjoyed a run of songs that was nothing short of epic.
