Oh dear, that doesn't sound too flattering.




Autumn release... I'm sure he'll need to play some live dates in support of that album. Perhaps he can fit them in and around the Fleetwood Mac tour!

If I'm not mistaken, Liam is Neil's son, which makes it even funnier!:laugh:

Has Neil ever had a balls out rock song? I hope Mike can steer him in that direction, but Mike has some fluff on his record, which could just be the fact he was writing more for the needs of the specific artist than a band as a whole.

I feel very fortunate these days. Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite bands of all-time. And Neil Finn is one of my favorite songwriters of all-time.

It's very sad that Lindsey is no longer part of the Fleetwood Mac lineup, but I can't think of a better songwriter/lead singer to take Lindsey's place than Neil Finn. Some artists' music gets less interesting the more you listen. Neil's music gets more interesting the more you listen because he packs so many layers into his lyrics and music.

If you're new to Neil Finn's music or just know his song "Don't Dream It's Over" and have interest in hearing more of his music, I would recommend checking out the following great albums.


From Crowded House, check out these two incredible studio albums:

Woodface
Together Alone


From Split Enz, check out the following compilation album:

History Never Repeats: The Best of Split Enz


From Neil's solo career, check out the following two incredible studio albums:

Try Whistling This
Out of Silence


From Neil's career with his brother as The Finn Brothers, check out this great studio album:

Everyone Is Here


And from Neil's career with his 7 Worlds Collide project, check out the outstanding live album:

7 Worlds Collide: Live at The St. James


Enjoy!!!

Crowded House/Neil Finn is one of my favorite bands and that is one of the reasons I can’t see him fronting my all time favorite band. My music worlds have collided.

And Neil has said he's fully committed to focusing exclusively on the Fleetwood Mac tour. Perhaps he'll tour in 2019 after the Fleetwood Mac tour ends. Neil is also planning a studio album with his brother Tim (as The Finn Brothers) for 2019 or 2020 and that's apparently already written.
