About this playlist
Neil Finn loves a bittersweet tune and a well-turned lyric. Drawing together the ecstatic pop rush of The Beatles (“Eight Days a Week”) and the stark longing of Squeeze (“Tempted”), his post-punk classicism throws back to the sparkling directness of Buddy Holly (“Words of Love”) while indulging in melodic exploration alongside his likeminded peers such as Robyn Hitchcock and XTC.
