With the exception of what Rush was doing, the 80's were a vaccuum as far as good music goes. It was horrible.

Same here. I had Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, UK, Marillion, etc. on the turntable. Radio was horrible.

Being English I fully remember the TFF's explosion. Mad World is a classic song and the original cannot be bettered. I own several early albums on vinyl 'Songs from the big chair' and 'The Hurting' but I only play the g hits on a cd that I ripped, Woman In Chains is sheer class.
I find the cover depressing. Interesting arrangement but I dislike the vocal.
Did you know it was actually our Christmas Number One single here in England! That is so sad.

I saw TFF twice during tours in the US. I liked them, though I was/am more of a Cure fan than TFF.

I've always loved that song The Working Hour. Great tune, IMHO.

That crappy 80's music was (and still is) a headache.

Excluding Rush, of course
