One Step Ahead Of You
Anyone that knows me well enough is accutely aware that I bow at the altar of two singer/songwriters: Elvis Costello & Neil Finn. Don't get me wrong, there are many fine artists out there who compose amazing tunes, but for my $$$ no one can touch either of these two guys. Having said that, let's chat a little about Neil Finn. I first discovered Finn when Crowded House's self-titled first album was released. I was immediately taken with Neil's talents. After I pretty much played that cassette to death, my older cousin gave me an album that further deepened my awe for Neil Finn's talent: Split Enz: History Never Repeats. Yes, there was life before Neil hooked up with Nick Seymour and the late Paul Hester to form Crowded House. And it was good. Very very good. I was now a Finn fan for life. Along with his older brother Tim's quirky but also just as hooky songwriting, Split Enz forged a path in the early 80's with their haunting yet melodic artistic pop. For your listening (dis)pleasure, here are some select tracks to whet your appetite:
Split Enz: History Never Repeats
Split Enz: I Got You
Split Enz: One Step Ahead Of You
Split Enz: Message To My Girl
Split Enz: Dirty Creature
Split Enz: Poor Boy
THIS looks fucking amazing!
