1986 – CAPITOL / EMI
Produced By MITCHELL FROOM
1. Mean To Me
2. World Where You Live
3. Now We’re Getting Somewhere
4. Don’t Dream It’s Over
5. Love You ‘Til The Day I Die
6. Something So Strong
7. Hole In The River
8. Can’t Carry On
9. I Walk Away
10. Tombstone
11. That’s What I Call Love
It’s hard to talk about the history of Australian rock music without spending a huge amount of time on the subject of Neil Finn. Finn was a member of his brother Tim’s band, Split Enz, until they split up (heh…) in 1984. Neil and Split Enz drummer Paul Hester formed Crowded House, and their self titled debut turned out to be a huge success. The album contained three exceptional singles…the monster hit “Don’t Dream It’s Over”, “Something So Strong”, and the almost Beatlesque “Now We’re Getting Somewhere”. The band became MTV stars, and at the time, there were not many who could claim the melodic mastery that Crowded House did. As it turned out, this marked their early commercial peak, and while it’s not their best album, it is their most famous.
This album also includes the excellent tracks “World Where You Live” and “Mean To Me”. There is a bit of filler here, but otherwise this is a big part of the great singles that came out in the eighties. “Don’t Dream It’s Over” alone will keep this album in print forever, and it’s a great companion album to their greatest work, 1991’s Woodface, which reunited the Finn Brothers on one of the most perfect albums ever made. The band made only four albums before splitting up in 1996, and though they have reformed, it’s been without Hester, who died in 2005. This has some truly great moments, and it shows just how good Neil Finn was when his songwriting was on point. One of the better debut albums from the decade, and a fine piece of Australian rock history. [First added to this chart: 03/14/2025]

1988 – A&M
Produced By DAVID RICKETTS, DAVID TICKLE & TONI CHILDS
1. Don’t Walk Away
2. Walk And Talk Like Angels
3. Stop Your Fussin’
4. Dreamer
5. Let The Rain Come Down
6. Zimbabwae
7. Hush
8. Tin Drum
9. Where’s The Ocean
Toni Childs knocked around Los Angeles in the early to mid eighties after filling in on some shows for Terri Nunn with Berlin. After spending some time in London, she returned to the US and sang backup vocals on the excellent David & David album Boomtown from 1986. This led to a romantic and professional relationship with one of the two David’s, David Ricketts, which led to her debut album, Union, which was released in 1988. It was a minor success, but it did include some excellent tracks, written by Childs and Ricketts. The sound is very much rock, pop and a strange infusion of world music that helps to keep things interesting. The relationship between Childs and Ricketts was not the steadiest, which brings a palpable tension to the mix.
Four singles were released from the album, which was nominated for a pair of Grammys. The most successful was “Don’t Walk Away”, but the best song here is the upbeat “Stop Your Fussin’”. “Zimbabwae” and “Walk And Talk Like Angels” are also highlights. Ricketts plays a bunch of instruments here, but the real star is the somewhat unconventional singing of Childs, who brings an air of seriousness to even the more pop moments on the album. Union remains her highest charting album…declining sales of the next two efforts, House Of Hope and the very good The Woman’s Boat led her to be dropped by A&M, and she hasn’t been heard from much again. But Childs is always interesting, and Union is a great place to start with an artist who got close…but not close enough. [First added to this chart: 07/25/2024]
