"Hard Act To Follow" by Split Enz

Split Enz was the group that introduced the amazing Finn brothers, Neil and Tim, who have given the world a ton a great songs and a handful of big hits. In Split Enz, which formed back in the early 70s in New Zealand, Neil Finn's songwriting skills were foreshadowed with "I Got You," which peaked at #53 in the US in 1980. 

Unfortunately, the band could not get any more traction and quickly fall apart. Neil moved on and formed hitmakers Crowded House, which Tim joined occasionally. Neil and Tim have also recored as Finn Brothers in addition to making solo albums. In 2018, Neil replaced Lindsey Buckingham to become a member of Fleetwood Mac.

If there was another song that seemed like it could be the breakthrough Split Enz needed in the US, I would have pegged "Hard Act To Follow" to be it. It comes from the band's 1981 album, "Waiata."
