BTW, Crowded House certainly isn't a one-hit wonder. Especially if you take into account the band from which they proceeded, Split Endz.

Of course not, they are their own band.
I restated what I meant to say, although i still know many people that only know one song by them. I know those other tunes (locked out, too) got airplay but I guess I never thought of them as hits. But, I can go with y'alls assessment...
Neil Finn has some greta solo records, too

Frida Lyngstad "I know There's Something Going On".
Chick from Abba. Drums by Phil Collins.
Fricking awesome song.
I always get the Abba chicks mixed up.
