Been jamming them all weekend/week. Mostly Time and Tide and a little bit of True Colours and Frenzy. It's all really really good stuff. Kind of shocking they weren't bigger than they were.

My jams right now:

Dirty Creature (I fricking love the break down at the end of the song around 3ish minutes with the synths and piano and that bassline)

Master Plan

Never Ceases to Amaze Me

Got any other Enz fans on here that can tell me what to listen to next?

And their album was cool looking.

Cool band. Made their money with Crowded House. But both were really good pop bands (mean that in the best way).

It was a very good band, which few folks in this nation ever knew. I remain a fan of the Finn brothers Neil and Tim - the main songwriters and singers - who have worked individually, together as a duo, and in Crowded House.

Include these selections:

Naw, they were a pretty big deal in their native New Zealand, and Australia.

They wanted to conquer the world, however. I think they had even less success in Great Britain, than here.

Trust me. Their income increased by orders of magnitude with Crowded House. Worldwide records sales and touring.

Neil Finn is one of my favorite songwriters... I really think their best work is when he came in to his own as a songwriter

That said, my favorite Tim song..

Six Months in a Leaky Boat

The chorus to that song is probably my all time favorite...

Split Enz members made money off of Crowded House? As in retroactive interest in their catalogue?

touring.

Don´t think they saw any pasta here......

Absolutely fantastic song. Not a fan of the waaaaay too long prelude, however.

That's actually a separate song called "pioneer"

The Finn brothers and Paul Hester made bank off of Crowded House. Sorry if that's too complicated.
