The Boney 500: Songs 168 and 167

[T_Bone0806]

Two more to add to the song list:

168. WIND AT MY BACK-SPOCK'S BEARD (2002)
Album: Snow

An uplifting anthem from this progressive rock band, this particular track is lighter on both the progressive and
rock factors and heavy on the beauty and melody. Unfortunately I can't find a YouTube link to a video of the studio version,
so here's an audio only link. Just click on the arrow at the center of the album icon..

167. I GOT YOU-SPLIT ENZ (1980)
Album: True Colours

Really, America? This song went to #1 in their native New Zealand and Australia, Top 15 in the U.K. and Canada,
and here in the USA it peaked at #53? Just what the heck was not to like about this killer melody and bright and
happy pop song about romantic paranoia? 53? And yet, in the same year you sent "Do That To Me One More Time",
"Funkytown", and the "Pina Colada" song to #1? Sorry, America, but you screwed up big time on this one.

Totally agree on this one. This song gets played regularly as a "lost hit" on the SIRIUS XM '80s station, and I've loved it ever since I first heard the MTV VJs dig deep into the Hot 100 with it. This song served as a great springboard for what the Finn brothers would offer later in the decade as Crowded House.

Crowded House was a Neil Finn band. Songs that Neil and Tim wrote for a "Finn Brothers" project were included on the "Woodface" album after the label rejected the original CH submission. Tim agreed to let CH use the songs he co-wrote only if he were included in the band. He started out on the Woodface tour and was with them at Universal Amphitheatre where I saw them, but quit prior to the end of the tour. They found they still couldn't get along.
