What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

THE CHURCH "almost yesterday 1981-1990" cd,1995.

a very underrated and underappreciated Aussie band....who have been largely ignored here at home also over the last thirty years.
very little chart success, which is a shame as these guys are good musicians and writers, and still, t this day are releasing albums...they have made eighteen studio albums since 1981, allmusic rate them very high though...giving 13 of their albums in what we would call the "love" range,the other five all make the pass mark as good albums also...a pretty good achievement by anyones standards...i myself, only own three of their albums and this compilation set....MH also has owned several albums by these guys from Down Under.
guess their music and lyircal style is pretty similar to Lloyd Cole & The Commotions for want of a comparrison act.
not much wrong here, just a steady stream of well made songs worthy of any music collectors collection including the only cover version these guys have ever recorded...Simon & Garfunkels "i am a rock"
