Allright those who say 'Music hasn't changed you just have to look to find it'

Nilsson had eight Top 40 singles, including a Number One (“Without You”).

To be fair, not all of Nilsson was spectacular (Flash Harry, anybody?) But when he was on, he was amazing.

To be fair, though, were there many people before Nilsson who were like him?

Before? An artist with such an eclectic mix and who as a jaunt just decides to write the most "Paul McCartney Song he can? Not really.

After? Well I’m going to get raked over the coals for this, but I’d say Beck.

Save some coals to rake me over…I’m going to say Lily Allen.

Interesting, I’ll have to give her a second look.

Who would be today’s equivalent of Harry Nilsson?

For some reason, Damon Albarn popped into my head immediately when I read this.

Neil Finn and Paul Hester of Split Enz would go on to form the band Crowded House. Neil’s brother Tim, also of Split Enz, joined Crowded House in 1990.

Right; and the Finn brothers have continued to make music, separately and together.

Split Enz-“I Got You” (1980)

Neil Finn and Paul Hester of Split Enz would go on to form the band Crowded House. Neil’s brother Tim, also of Split Enz, joined Crowded House in 1990.

Crowded House was my husband’s smart-ass answer when asked for a band that sounds like Split Enz.
