As anyone who’s ever attended one of those theme nights can tell you, we tend to look back on the ’80s through a lens of warm affection that inadvertently lumps all the era’s aesthetics into one giant ball of kitsch-which means that Big Chair’s cavernous, reverb-coated ambience (and the accompanying cringeworthy haircuts)-will always be unfairly synonymous with that kitsch. Their 1985 multi-platinum smash Songs from the Big Chair cemented hits like “Shout,” “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” and “Head Over Heels” as timeless radio staples.
It’s possible, even likely, that Tears For Fears’ music has been played at every single ’80s theme night since it became popular to pay tribute to the decade of glossy pop bombast, teenage comedies and spiked hair.
