Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith formed Tears for Fears in Bath in 1981, and The Hurting (1983) made "Mad World" and "Pale Shelter" early favorites on KROQ and 91X. Songs from the Big Chair (1985) produced "Shout", "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "Head over Heels", three of the most-charted 1980s songs on all-time countdowns in the archive.

The duo's catalog has appeared on more than 200 countdown positions on RockLists, and Gary Jules's cover of "Mad World" for Donnie Darko returned the song to year-end lists in 2003 and 2004.
