Crowded House- Were so amazing to me, I even saw them play, regrettably only once, but I had front row centre seats, & was another memorable experience years ago.....To me, their music was incredible, largely due of course to Neil Finn, but beyond the commercial stuff they'd put out, they had many many gems of songs that never got/get airplay, which is a terrible shame.......The last album they put out, Together Alone, was their their crowning achievement, (probably only in my own mind), a completely brilliant piece of work Great list you have B, no surprise there at all, for me, I’m a die hard Neil Finn fan, for me, his music & lyrics are amazing to me, he’s produced some of the most gorgeous melodies & harmonies I’ve ever heard in my life…..He’s blown my mind a lot….He’s completely brilliant in my humble estimation

I think i would have trouble limiting it to ten actually.... The song part is even harder. I am not sure if i remember the first song i ever heard from most of my favourite musicians. Look forward to hearing your next six. Also congratulations on your six month anniversary in Dresden.
