I think Split Enz were a magnificent band, but think it's such a shame they never really became that known here in the UK (I know I personally never really discovered them until just a few years before they split up!) They released some wonderful music in the 70's and 80's and where quite ahead of the times with their musical style and off-the-wall, quirky videos too. They were original and inventive, especially in their earlier 70's days. I think they should have been huge in the UK but sadly that was never to be!

The wonderful Finn brothers rightly get praised for their work in Crowded House and their solo stuff, but it's such a shame that Split Enz seem to be overlooked by so many. I know whenever I mention them to people I nearly always get a "who?" response!

Anyway, for those not that familiar with them, here's the links to just a few of my favourite videos of theirs (see how their sound and style progressed over the years):

I can never tire of listening to the wonderful Split Enz. Any other fans of them here?

yes, been a fan of theirs since the 80s when I lived in Los Angeles and a radio station played their music. Always loved their music and still do. It's rather timeless.

Interestingly, when I had to book tickets to fly from Los Angeles to Fiji on Air New Zealand back in 1997, the "hold" music featured Dame Kiri Te Kanawa (a popular Opera singer) AND Split Enz's "One Step Ahead". (Two of New Zealands popular music exports) I had to call several times and enjoyed being on hold listening to them.

sorry...but in answer to your question, no!

i liked 'i got you' but thats about all.
