So only songs that get played on the radio might be great given that criteria. I'd have almost thought that great songs don't get played on the radio. From the few times I here the radio it is full of crap.

769522 2009-05-02 14:10:00 Always rated The Prophet by Working With Walt as one of the best New Zealand songs, it is about New Zealand and is particularly powerful in my opinion (especialy if you play it while in the Ureweras).
I vaguely recall seeing Working with Walt play during Orientation Week at Massey Uni in 1985. I must check and see if I still have their EP...

769523 2009-05-03 08:55:00 So far as little known NZ music is concerned, I think Julie Collier's "Coming of Age" album is the finest around. It's simple music and every song is about a New Zealand story.

This latest compilation of Kiwi music looks a bit weak beside Natures Best which is still an excellent collection.

769524 2009-05-03 19:52:00 Heard the guy on the radio who put this together, he said something along the lines of "that he wanted each song to be good in it's own right but also to be able to follow the song before and lead into the song to follow" Which he thought Natures best did not do very well. I can't comment as being a heathen I haven't heard either album gary67 (56)
