The thing is S Lang, have you heard Split Enz album Mental Notes?, to deny its progginess would mean you don't think Free Hand by Gentle Giant is prog. Clearly since your an Aussie you must at least have some basic knowledge of Enz earlier albums? [/QUOTE]
In this thread SE, Devo, etc. were brought under the same umbrella and Simple Minds, Morcheeba and countless others may yet to come?.My comments refer to rather forced inclusions suggested whilst undisputed Prog artists are resisted. Miles Davis, much of the ECM catalog, If, Stomu Yamashta, Back Door, etc. have been repeatedly put on the backburner, perpetually ignored.
In fairness to SE, they are capable artists, but generally identified with Pop.
From Oz, Kangaroo Moon, DIG, Jackie Orszacky, Tribal Trance, Dean Can Dance and no doubt many others would merit due attention before SE is classified as Prog.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

hahah.. sorry.. yes the Art Rock team. The band was submitted for
consideration today. Ricochet, one of our members is alway,
so don't fret if you don't hear something for awhile. They are on
the list and will be evaluated and voted on. It just might take a
little whlle.

Oh, the Finn Bros. (Everyone Is Here I believe is the title) is an excellent disc. Very melodic and acoustic driven, as you can probably envision given that has been a staple in their sound. "Homesick", however, is a very upbeat song with beautiful melodies and orchestration. Probably my favorite from that disc. Highly recommended.

really?, I should check that out as of late I've been foolishly ignoring a lot of their recent output. Tell me hasn't Tim Finn toured the US recently or shortly I heard him say something like that a couple of months ago, I do know that Split ENz are doing a reunion tour of NZ this year I plan on going to it, it could be their last.

Wow I didn't know Tim Finn worked with such guys in that calibre, I am quite ignorantabout how well known the Finn's are overseas, but in NZ they are like John Lennon and Paul McCartney to us, real legends.

Does anyone have Tim Finn's self-titled CD from the late 80's with Peter Gabriel's band on it? Probably one of the golden treasures of my collection. Also, The Finn Brothers CD from a few years ago is another gem. E |
Peter Gabrial's band?, I didn't know that. Did the selftitled album have the song Parihaka on it? |
That's the one ("How'm I Gonna Sleep", "Young Mountain", "Crescendo"). If you check the credits it has David Rhodes, Tony Levin, and Jerry Marotta on there.

Pity that some people have the same opinion when seeing Led Zeppelin listed on a prog website....
