One of the great mysteries as to why they were not huge in the US. Amazing songs and so likable in their interviews. Neil and Tim always conducted themselves as gentlemen.

Agree completely. Very Beatlesque like and a unique image. The songs were very catchy! Doesn’t make sense why.

They were too weird. They needed a make over and better production and mixing to make their tunes more mainstream . They had great songs but Tim Finn’s vaudeville freakin was what put people off . Their potential could be seen in another recarnation of this band called Crowded House. Had they performed these amazing songs using the pop sensibilities and style of crowded house they would have been huge !

Neil Finn could make a living singing the phone book. He just connects on a human level. Not just range, but he sells the song. Yes and brother Tim Finn is fine too.
