Probably my favourite album of all time, has to be:-
Tears For Fears - The Hurting.
It has great memories for me and I love those early days of Tears for Fears, "Songs From The Big Chair" was great too, but after then, their music just went down hill, in my opinion.
The one song which I would have played at my funeral is:-
(Tears For Fears - Memories Fade)
here is a Youtube video for the song. As it wasn't released as a single, it will have to be a live performance.

It is such a moving song and the words, "History's my cage" & "Look forward to a future in the past" that's me all over, actually.
I'm stuck there, with "memories of the past", as I collect memories. and don't like change!
song-words below:-
-----------------------------------
"Memories Fade"
There's only need
I love your need
So much I'm losing me
I cannot see the reason for the Pain
With hungry joy
I'll be your toy
Just hoping you will play
Without hope my body starts to fail
Memories fade but the scars still linger
Goodbye my friend
Will I ever love again
Memories fade but the scars still linger
I cannot grow
I cannot move
I cannot feel my age
The vice like grip of tension holds me fast
Engulfed by you
What can I do
When History's my cage
Look foward to a future in the past
The more I talk
The more I say
The less you seem to hear
I'm speechless in a most peculiar way
Your mind is weak
Your need is great
And nothing is too dear
For you to use to take the Pain away
Memories Fade
No don't pretend you can justify the end
Memories fade but the scars still linger
