greatest australian singers... - CRAZY-HORSE - 30-01-2014
my thoughts on MH...(no not our Music Head,im talking 'bout Hutchence!)
i was never a fan of these guys,not sure why,i just wasnt???
they did however become the biggest stadium rockers in the world in the mid to late 1980s and probably had a few of the most easily recognisable singles in that period also.
i saw these guys live as support act for either Elton or Rod back in the very early 1980s when they only had a solitary single release...i thought they sucked bigtime live, and the reputation they had was one of either being "sublime" live or at the other extreme "the worst band in living history"...there was no inbetween with these guys!
his position on this list at #4 is probably justified and not unexpected IMO
below is my favoruite track of theirs...

my thoughts on Tina:
yeh, this lady can sing as well as Celine,Adele and any of the other modern great female artists...
i have no problem with her being this high on the list whatsoever.
the above link was her biggest hit, the one below is my personal favourite that was also a huge hit here and in europe...
i love the slow build up from simple ballad to rock ballad through the song,awesome stuff...
and speaking of Celine, she is in the audience with Shania(linked below)...both of them look entranced at Tina's performance which just about says it all
