I'll probably be flamed to death for this, but this year I'm going to listen to Geir's top 50.
Death by melody.

"Tangled up necklace of pearls"--siiiigh... Soooo good this album. I LOVE this album--though I do think, like Billy Dods, that Together Alone is more cohesive. Four Seasons and Fall are both such stand-outs.
Apparently Mitchell Froom felt like the album would've been more of a classic if they had cut a few songs, like the "Tim Finn sings Sinatra" number.
And even though my band was mocked mercilessly for liking CH in a review, I still maintain, they are so cooooooooool.

Another one for "Weather With You" here.
And agreed that Geir has been on a TEAR of late.

Produced by Youth, no? AGAIN, IT ALL COMES BACK TO KILLING JOKE!

KL FTW. Man, I'm torn about Youth. That Heather Nova record was like listening in an empty swimming pool.

i generally find this band dreadfully dull and laboured, but i somehow still know every song
will go with 'weather with you' - good lyrics, even better chorus hook

good lyrics
^ this is the story of Neil Finn

Produced by Youth, no?
He produced "Together Alone". On "Woodface" it was still Mitchell Froom, as it had been from the debut.

yeah autumn, definitely the spark of the band's music is in the lyrics

Wow - "Whispers and Moans" totally shut out.
― o. nate, Sunday, 3 February 2008 00:30 (sixteen years ago) link
these poll results are EXACTLY right. four amazing songs surrounded by a bunch of pretty good ones that are made by better by virtue of sharing space on a cd with them.

foolish results. Whispers & Moans and Four Seasons should take it. All I Ask is a very, VERY weird departure on this lp?

I think it’s credited to both brothers, but All I Ask seems like a very much more Tim song, while Neil’s aesthetic dominates most of the rest.

The harmony vocals on the chorus of Fall At Your Feet are the pinnacle of CH's career.
― enochroot, Saturday, 5 June 2021 20:03 (two years ago) link
and the keyboard fills are Froom's.

New album is out, btw. I've liked the songs released so far.
