So I'm in a bit of an odd mood and I tell Alexa to play Tears for Fears. As usual, she tells me that she's playing "Tears for Fears and similar artists".
30 minutes in and it's been pure Tears for Fears.
No similar artists, I guess. 🤣
Alexa needs a refresher on Brit post-punk/new wave pop-rock, apparently. See esp. XTC and particularly this album, recorded in the studio next to the one where Tears For Fears were recording “Songs From The Big Chair.” Roland and Curt even let Andy, Colin, and Dave use their instruments. 🤓

I was expecting it to be a solid seed request to get exactly that - I mean, I'm fine with it, big fan, but so weird. Normally, I'm getting different artists by the third song.
