I was a teenager back in the early 80's and listened to Crowded House and knew Neil Finn was their lead singer. I even have some of their stuff on my Ipad. I also got a mix-tape a friend brought me from Los Angeles in 1982 (Southern Cal. was always way ahead of everyone else on the music scene then) that had a few Split Enz songs that I really liked including "I got You." I still have that mix tape and played it for years and years until I finally went full CD in the mid-90's. The funny part.... until reading this thread I never realized Neil Finn was ALSO the lead singer of Split Enz. I immediately fired up my Iphone and listed to Crowded House and Split Enz and I'm dumbstruck. Usually I'm uncanny at connecting voices. Just not in this case. Oh well. He's a great vocalist and wrote some great music, particularly when he was with Crowded House. I'm sure he's going to come up with something really wonderful for the end credits.
