One of the very best singer/songwriters.
Late for the Sky (album) is a masterpiece.

Being born in the 80s, I do remember a lot of synth pop on the radio, but I always thought it sounded “cheesy” especially as I got into the more raw sounding grunge and post grunge rock that came along in the 90s as I was growing up.
But for some reason, I’ve started giving 80s pop in general another chance (almost like a last frontier exploration for me) and holy crap are The Cars a great band.
Couple of favorites:

Obviously, the Geils band were beloved in Boston, but Detroit loved them, too,
PS I know I always say "I remember when that came out" and attach release date/year. I'm sure it irritates some (or all) here.
In the event, "I remember when Freeze Frame came out (1981). It remains the most successful album of their career,

Who was Peter Wolf married to, if briefly?

The original video is fine
but I like this one, too,
An absolute heartbreaker. One of their finest songs and a personal favorite,
The last one I recall was basically Roland Orzabal solo, as Curt Smith had left the partnership at that point,
I haven't heard their latest, though its been well reviewed,

Meeting Mick Jagger turned out to be a life changing development for Faithful. I wonder if she rues the day.
Or, alternately, her theme song these days might be
I guess you'd have to ask her.

Other fun fact I always like to throw out, before Tears for Fears they were part of a band that split into two duos - the other two guys going on to form Naked Eyes
Now, I never saw them live. I saw them on The Midnight Special and they were terrible. Terrible.
{Still in the Detroit area in 1978, I didn't know that, along with other Boston based bands of the time, they honed their chops at the Rat,
(The Rathskeller - Wikipedia
(later an occasional haunt when I came to Boston in '82, later still when I moved to Park Drive in '91.)
Even so, I returned a duplicate Beatles album received as a Christmas gift to Harmony House (sic) and bought their fabulous debut. Meticulously helmed by Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker, the entire set crackles with intelligence, mordant wit, and a fine pop sensibility.
A classic with great songs that still sounds fresh today (complete album: 1978),
Not Only, But Also Dept.: Complete albums:
Candy O (1979),
Panorama (1980),
Shake It Up (1981),
Swansong,
Heartbeat City (1984),
I'll leave you to select favorites and find "new" bits. There's a lot there, and a lot of it is good.
Bonus point: Do any remember or encounter local legend "Mr. Butch," who for years used to hang outside the Rat?

30 years ago. Geesh. The unplugged series was probably the last good thing that MTV did.
Saw his Harvest Moon tour. Loved it.

Minor Brush With Greatness, Kevin Bacon style. I used to go out with a girl here in Boston, brag no humble brag, a former model. She was friends with Elliot Easton. What a melodic, tasteful guitar player he was/is.
It's unfortunate that Ben became embittered toward Rick, though easy to see why. I believe they reconciled shortly before Orr died.
And I know I shouldn't go there, or here, but let's just say "I don't understand" why Rick left the will he did.
