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!!!

I have to agree. Woodface and Together Alone were my starting point with all things Finn and I made sure to buy the History Never Repeats compilation soon after. I could never get into his solo stuff I'm afraid. Too experimental and 'ambient' for me.

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.

Eh, not exactly my definition of balls out rock. This is a little closer to what I was thinking.











And, posting a video of him with Eddie ups cred…

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.

Crikey what a tangled web! Just when I was thinking we might get an album from this lineup of FM in 2020 too. I don't care if there's only four out of the classic five, I just want a Fleetwood Mac that makes albums. The soap opera was a lot more interesting when at least it produced something creative.
