          it's not a case of when it was recorded...or what musical style it is...it only has to be really good and demonstrate ability and talent...

          Yup I'm Kiwi. Also Dragon has made the Kiwi summer anthem list many times with a few of their songs.

          Wow yes- Are you old enough is one of my faves and have to sing along loudly of course :)) Where are you? I was a student studying in Trentham, Wellington in the 80's when great bands played- saw Dave Dobbyn when he was in DD Smash. And the Exponents etc etc. Funny hearing them now and not realizing back them how lucky i was to be part of it.

          Oh youre lucky! I like April Sun in Cuba - always makes me think of summer. I'm in the Waikato. Yeah such great bands from that era and the music was unique where bands had their own sound.

          So true- we still have some awesome new musicians and bands now too. Hope its not pelting down at yours :((
          ·
        • Christina C 466456mary c
          No we've sidestepped the chaos luckily. To be honest I like the older bands much better than the new. Seems like everything has already been done now and it's much harder to find something unique and actually good.

          Actually now that I think about it, I do really like that Breaks Co-op song "Other Side" and their kind of a new-ish band. Also that song on that Trust power ad with the three legged dog, actually the ad in general gets me teary eyed, such a good ad and song pairing.

        • mary cChristina C 466456
          ohh i love that Breaks Co-op song so much- one of my faves :) I listen to LAB and Six60- love their music. Yes the Trust power ad is so sweet/teary yes! oh and hope the awful rain doesn't hit your area- i can't really believe what has happened in auckland..its going on everywhere now. I live near Stokes Valley in the Hutt and drive past the house up on the hill that had a big slip under it and the people had to move out..now this is happening all around the country.
