Any other Neil Finn/Crowded House/Split Enz fans out there???
I know there are at least two of us, Finnfan (GREAT name!) and myself - any others???

Favorite Enz tune - Ghost Girl
Favorite Crowded House tune - Fingers of Love
Favorite Solo tune - Sinner

Awfully hard to pick just one though -it's all great stuff!

2. Yeah, longtime fan.
Distant Sun tops it for me. I know it's an obvious one, but it's extraordinary.

As if it wasn't obvious.

Favorite Enz tune - Message to My Girl

Now I'm all happy, in that really geeky, fanboy kind of way. :hi:

19. I knew you'd be on here!
I mentioned you below. For some reason, I thought you were a vampire.

5. BIG time Enz freak, love Crowded House, afraid to check out solo Finn
Edited on Fri Oct-31-03 11:18 AM by RandomKoolzip
I get disappointed by modern production techniques, and so I'm pretty wary of recent solo Neil Finn, but I've heard it's good....


Anyways:

Favorite Enz tune: Another Great Divide (yeas, it's a Tim Finn song, he's awesome too!)
Favorite House tune: Better Be Home Soon
Solo? : ?

8. Trust me, it's good!
I have both the "One All" (also known as "One Nil" - released under both names) and the "Try Whistling This" albums (title cut on that second one is worth the price of the CD all by itself)

Sheryl Crow and Minnesota's own Wendy Malvoin appear on the "One All" album.

One of the things I find most appealing is the fact that Neil is multi-instrumental - he plays just about everything (guitar, bass, keyboards...)

20. Amazing production
The production and studiocraft on "Try Whistling This" is some of the best I have ever heard.

6. The finishing touches are being put on the new Finn Brothers CD
as we speak.

I know JanMichael is a fan, too, but I usually only see him at night.

7. Great to see you all!
"Message to My Girl" is another huge fave with me, too.
Tim singing "I Hope I Never" off the True Colors album is enuf to make your spine tingle - such a pure voice!
Anyone have any news about upcoming Neil concerts here in the states??

9. "Weather With You"
would be my favorite CH song. Don't really have a fave Enz tune. I guess, "Driving Me Mad" would be my fave Finn solo song and it has nothing to do with the fact that Ms Crow sings backup on it ;-). I liked it before I realized it was her.

16. Yep, both bands, now solo artist
Can't remember when the Enz split up, sometime in the mid-80's?? CH disbanded in 1994 as I recall, and Neil has been on his own ever since.
