The Greatist Albums of the 20th Century

#6."History Never Repeats"-Split Endz

Before Niel Finn formed "Crowded House" he was a member of "Split Endz"
along with his brother Tim Finn.They both are extremly good Pop-Rock composers
and Performers.They were also very creative in the studio and they developed
a very original sound with "Split Endz" .This collection of some of thier finest work
is full of some of the Best songcraft and Great Recordings your ever likely hear this
side of "The Beatles" and "The Beach Boy's"."I Got You" was one of thier biggest
songs and i believe it did the Best in U.S..The Bands very quirky look was a solid
feature of thier video's which got quite abit of play on MTV.Though "Split Endz"
didn't quite breakthrough to American Audiences as successfully as Niels Band "Crowded
House" did later on-it certainly wasn't for a lack of Great Music-Great Songs and Great
Recordings as this Album is a testament too.
Every song on this album has something of interest to fan's of great Pop/Rock
Music and there is alot of varience of style throughout the whole Album."Dirty
Creature" "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" are both stand-out up tempo songs,
While "I Hope I Never" is a classic pop/rock balled,as in "I Hope i Never Have to
See You Again" a ode to romance gone bad,with a shimmering stellar Beauty all it's
own.
This bands best work in this collection of songs is truelly a lost Gem in the pantheon
Great Pop/Rock.It deserves to be re-discovered and is well worth seeking out.
