"Destination Unknown" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 ^ I was supposed to see Missing Persons last year, but Dale Bozzio was sick and couldn't perform. Bummer. I'm sure you can guess I'm going to say the Fixx - they have a bunch of great songs beyond their handful of hits, are great live, sometimes do meet and greets/stay after shows for their fans, and have in the last couple of years returned to their longest-running lineup with the return of bass player Dan K. Brown. I only wish they could get their new album out - we've been waiting seven or so years now - and that they were still touring as extensively as they were even a few years ago. Nowadays, if you aren't in California, your chances of seeing them close by aren't too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an excellent guitarist, most people have no clue who he is. I do. I do too. Suppose that's why I've seen him 6 times. Good thread btw. He's great live He should have been as popular as Hendrix. Just saw Robin Trower a few weeks ago, I could have sat and watched him for hours, he was mesmerizing. Others: Eyes - 80's hair metal Good call whoever mentioned Head East - Still love Flat as a Pancake Starz - a little record called Violation, good stuff, a great band everyone has forgot about.

Trower was here in March. Needless to say, I went and loved every minute of it. Did some songs I had never seen live. "Somebody Calling" was one of them and it sounded real good.

Albone2112 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Split Enz got some airplay during MTV's early years, but never broke big here. Of course Neil Finn got some mainstream success with Crowded House, but the Enz was much better IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were far superior to a lot of the metal/hard rock/prog-metal that was out there at the time. Absolutely. Couldnt agree more. They are criminally underrated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were too wierd for the Hard Rock/Hair Metal crowd, but not " alternative " enough for the college radio crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking of a list of bands from down under that deserved recognition, and Split Enz was one of the bands. "Hard Act To Follow" got some air time in the States, but you're right, they never got as big as they might have. Three other bands on my list would be the Church, the Angels (aka Angel City), and Cold Chisel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
