Roland Orzabal 

Perhaps THE most underrated male vocalist of all-time, Roland Orzabal is one of the two founding members of the stupendous "New Wave/Pop-Rock" band Tears For Fears, along with Curt Smith. Tears For Fears made such hits as "Mad World," "Shout," "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and "Sowing the Seeds of Love," as any 80's music fan knows.

What people may not know is that Mr. Orzabal continued to kick ass as Tears For Fears after Curt Smith's departure in 1991, with the albums "Elemental" (1993), "Raoul and the Kings of Spain" (1995), and the B-side collection album "Saturnine, Martial & Lunatic" (1996), all of which feature Orzabal's stupendous vocal range and criminally underrated guitar-playing.

Mr. Orzabal followed these up with a badass Electronic album, "Tomcats Screaming Outside" (2001), before reuniting with Curt Smith, and releasing yet another masterpiece "Everybody Loves a Happy Ending" (2004) as Tears For Fears, with Orzabal's signature wide-range vocals throughout.

30 years in the business, and lots of people still don't know who Roland Orzabal is. Now you know.
Person 1: "Roland Orzabal has to be in the Top 10 singers of all time."

Person 2: "Who the hell is Roland Orzabal?"

Person 1: "The dude from Tears For Fears."

Person 2: "Aren't there 2 dudes in Tears For Fears?"

Person 1: "Yeah, he's the one that kept the name going in the 90's."

Person 2: "Tears For Fears was around in the 90's?"

Person 1: "How do you know there were 2 dudes in Tears For Fears and not know they were around in the 90's?"

Ronald Reagan Era 

Period during the 1980s in which Ronald Reagan started the War on Drugs which ultimately made obtaining drugs as easy as obtaining groceries. This led to thousands of Americans becoming addicted to crack cocaine, resulting in women giving birth to crack babies. The real victims of this era were the babies who were born addicted to crack.
James: That would be tough to grow up in the Ronald Reagan Era, especially if your parent was an addict.

John: Yeah, Kendrick Lamar was born into it. Shit's tough, man.

The Ronalds

Gas, nausea, and softening of the stool caused by consumption of Mcdonald's food.
I should not have gone to Micky D's last night- I got a total case of the Ronalds.

After eating a double quarter pounder with cheese extra value meal and three chicken sandwiches, Jed spent four hours on the can with the Ronalds.

The name for dedicated fans of Ronan Parke.

A Ronanator is a person that is dedicated to the success of Ronan Parke and will support him no matter what. It's a person that will stick up for him when people are putting him down, whether its directly or indirectly. It's also a person that truly gets excited at any Ronan news that comes out, if its in a form of simply a tweet or a new song. And this bit is for me personally but, its also a person that wouldnt slander his name by releasing info that might be hurtful even if its about Ronan. It's just someone that will build him up no matter what and would never go at him in a negative manner like ever. Also blogging or tweeting and fanpaging about him contributes to it as well of course! Always joining in on conversations and polls and competitions to win Ronan stuff makes a Ronanator. Just being apart of his career and his life in a positive manner is what its all about. Putting him above the rest is also KEY ;)
She loves Ronan Parke. She's a really big Ronanator!
