You sound like me with being "ahead of the curve" on music and no knowing who was who. We had a fantastic indie rock station, WEOX, from Manchester, Vermont (it's still around, BTW) that was just as hip. We also heard Crowded House when they were Split Enz, so to speak, we heard the very first G N' R back when they were still playing LA clubs in '86/87, we heard Pearl Jam back in 1988/89 when they were Mother Love Bone ("I' don't mind stealin' bread/I'm going hungrrryyy..") , I wouldn't be surprised if they had played U2 back when they were still The Hype. I remember being confused about CH and thinking, "that has GOT to be Neil Finn. But how can he be in 2 bands at once?" But soon he wasn't, of course. This was like hearing Pearl Jam's "Ten" and thinking "wait a minute..that's the guy from Mother Love Bone, but they've only had one big song....hey wait a minute, did they break up?!?" Funny how things work eh? About Mr Finn..I will add only one thing to all this: I didn't know he was a Kiwi. I thought I recognized his accent...esp in words like "better" ("bittah.") Thanks to Peter and crew, I can now spot a Kiwi accent anywhere
