Heartland

and the newspaper is The Dominion Post

Read about it yesterday. Good news. Love this band...

pass me a spatula i think i'll gouge my eyes out.

surely likeing them was made illegal as a music crime in the great amnesty of 2001?

If the house is crowded without a drummer, how are they going to call it when he´s in? Stuffed house?




Sorry, I couldn´t resisit..

Oh dear.
I think this thread could start to get rough......

It will come as no suprise to you but I love 'em.

Harmless enough, with decent tunes. The kind of band that I'd never stick a cd on, but will sing along quite merrily (and badly, natch) to on the radio. Bit like INXS in that respect. There's a pattern forming here.

MMM Don't hate them, but never really liked them either SORRY
But i liked 2 become 1 from the spice girls we all have probs

I was going to their farewll gig (yeah right) in Sydney back in 96. It was delayed due to to bad weather until the next night, and I couldnae get the time off work

Good for a laugh, and a damn fine live band.
Shame about the drummer, he was always good for a giggle.

If it makes you feel better, I share that shame about 2become1 too .

For crowded house, it's one of those bands that make it possible to hang on a little more on dubious radio stations that you usually zap through while driving . It's nice to know that they're trying to come back.

Saw them back in 92 at Rock Werchter. Raining all day but when the band started to play Weather With You the sun started to break through the clouds. A thing I never forgot.

I would never have thought this place was crawling with closet Crowded House fans!

Nor me, shame on the lot of you!

I'm with Dave on this one, wouldn't be a "fan", but sometimes you just can't beat a good decent tune.

Pass me my Thwacking Stick and I'll prove you wrong.

Not the kind of pop stars the world needs in my opinion

Aye, I'm a sucker for a good tune be it The Sisters, Niel Diamond, Motorhead or the Sugababes, a good tune is a good tune is a good tune.

didnt mind crowded house....but had the misfortune to be taken to a Neil Finn solo gig a good few years ago by an ex of mine.
Dull as dishwater.
He even murdered his own song - Dont Dream Its over was the encore, but he someone managed to even make that bland.
ho hum!

Excellent use of examples to illustrate your point, Keith.
