麻豆约拍

Johnnie and David enjoy two classic albums from the era of MTV and Live Aid - Queen's A Kind Of Magic from 1986 and Songs From The Big Chair from Tears For Fears in 1985.

Queen were asked to supply songs for Duran Duran video director Russell Mulcahy's film Highlander (starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery) and these (including the title track and Brian May's Who Wants To Live Forever) feature on the album alongside One Vision, inspired by Martin Luther King and the optimism of Live Aid. David Hepworth, who was part of the 麻豆约拍 presentation team on the day at Wembley, talks about Queen stealing the show and changing the appeal of stadium rock forever.

Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith met as teenagers in Bath and released their first recordings (as part of the band Graduate) in 1980. Four years later, as Tears For Fears, they recorded large parts of their follow up to The Hurting in the same city, at the home studio of their keyboard player (and co-writer of Shout) Ian Stanley. Songs From The Big Chair became part of the second British invasion of the American pop charts in the mid eighties, selling more than five million copies there, with success spreading across Europe and the rest of the world.
