(50,949 posts)Maybe it was just because the two of them weren't doing the songs that made either of them famous, and only those that they collaborated on.
I know Neil Finn toured for years with Crowded House and they were huge, so he must know how to do it.

Crowded House was my transition from the hair metal bands I listened to in middle school to the more alternative rock bands in high school and college. His lyrics have always just really spoken to me for some reason.
