Just one of the many things I love about Split Enz is that every band member is so animated and a joy to watch and be entertained. I also love their humor ❤❤❤

This is the proper Split Enz

In the insanity of everything that’s going on; don’t forget how great these lyrics are!

We hope Mr Judd is doing well. That most recent album Planet Sublime is really jolly nice I must say.

BEST GUITAR SOLO EVER

This was the greatest live band I ever saw.. and Iv'e seen them all!

No you haven't

A-MAZ-ING. I am not sure we knew back the 70s what a strange and beautiful jewel we were watching. They became more 'commercial' for sure, and still wrote great songs, and managed to keep a good amount of crackpot - but not as much crackpot as show here. I just love this really weird stuff.

Lovey Dovey Split Enz My house is sliding into the sea Skies are grey, since you've been away The chickens aren't laying eggs no more It can only mean you left me for sure But I still think of you when I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you do to me I still think of you when I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you do to me La do dah la do dah dah la do dah My trees are all turning brown The sun won't shine, now you're no longer mine The rats are crawlin' up me back It can only mean you're never coming back But I still, think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you do to me And I still, think of you when I'm alone Oh how could I ever repay you for what you do to me La do dah la do dah dah la do dah Wooh! My bed is leaning to one side You know I can't sleep now that I've lost my pride The flies are swarming in like bees I even have to share my clothes with fleas But I still, yeah think of you when, I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you do to me And I still, yeah think of you when, I'm alone How can I ever repay you for what you do to me Come on!

Cardiacs made me do it. My new best band.

Love the Enz! Great songwriting, great singing - but 100% powered by Eddie Rayner! Go Eddie!

Yep . Eddie is the dude.

BEST BAND EVAH..!!!! First time I saw you guys was at the Hard Rock Cafe in Spring St Melbourne 1974?? I was 14..... But we all wore so much blue eye shadow that we looked older.. haha Plus the fact that no one gave a shit

those first 5 albums are not commercial but they are interesting.

80s started early for these guys

What a gem. I keep replaying this

Whenever I feel sad I just think of those rats bobbing around on Tim's back and I'm cured.

Tim's writing at that time was so good it was close to showing off - his hold on the English language was breathtaking. No one was writing on the same level as him! Nobody mentions it, but how good was crowther drumming

They’ve toured the US quite a few times between 1977 and 1982.. you guys never “got” them.. especially in the early days. There would be more people on stage than in the audience some nights and that’s where the incident happened which led Phil to leave the band in Atlanta..

I’m not sure how or why Second Thoughts get such a bad review from the band and some fans. Titus, Matinee Idyll, Late Last Night, Lovey Dovey, Time for a Change, ffs... Sweet Dreams... I mean, Jesus, what do you want?! With the Enz you can’t miss!

I suppose it's the fact that a few of the band members (and I guess some of the fans) didn't want to re-record some of the tracks from Mental Notes (which as you know, was only released in Aus and NZ) might be relevant. Regardless, it's a great album. They both are.
