It's NZ Music Month and a few bloggers have already posted their worst NZ 'pop' songs -- naturally Tim Finn deservedly over-achieves on most lists -- so as I've no wish to follow the herd and I've already posted a 'ten-most-overrated' list, instead of a 'worst ten' here's a favourite dozen:- Gun Hungry -- Luke Hurley
- Billy Bold -- Graham Brazier
- Gutter Black -- Hello Sailor
- Don't Catch Fire -- Toy Love
- Squeeze -- Toy Love
- Crush - Tall Dwarfs
- GMT -- Hello Sailor
- True Love -- Scavengers
- Taking the Weight Off -- Penknife Glides
- Not a Victim -- Chris Knox
- Saturday Night Stay at Home - Suburban Reptiles
- The Jinx - Swingers
- Bailero, from Chants d'Auvergne (J.Canteloube)
Performed by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa and The English Chamber Orchestra, and perfectly used inlast year's superbly atmospheric film NZ film In My Father's Den. Beautiful. - Donald McIntyre's humane Hans Sach from the classic Sydney performance of Wagner's Die Miestersinger von Nurnburg.
- And Simon O'Neill's electric performance in Parsifal earlier this year has been at least partially preserved with a live MP3 of Amfortas, die Wunde.
