The Divinyls

Do you think they would ever tour again or record a future album? I really loved the music over the years and seeing a clip of the two on stage at the hall of fame was great

It's hard to beleive that the album "Undertow" was not released in the US. I think that is one of their best albums with some of Chrissy's best singing on it. The song "I'm Jealous" appeared on Melrose Place though, That song was everywhere here in Australia.

EMI have put out Greastest Hits, the most comprehensive Divinyls compilation out there, has anyone brought it yet?

They were a great band in their early days - lost interest after their 1987 album (can't remember the name of it). Loved Boys in Town; Sleeping Beauty (in fact What a Life was a great album); Backs to the Wall. They were a good band life - Chrissy certainly had some stage presence.

Boys In Town was their best. Only The Lonely another classic. I'm Jealous was popular only about 10 years ago that song was everywhere. Alot of people, particularly Americans only know this band for "I Touch My Self" that song never tires for me but its not their edgy rocking best, which was 82/83. Simply one of the best rock bands in the 80's here in Australia, and I did love Undertow. Alot of fans seem not to dig their more commercial pop slant which gave them huge success with the self titled album. She was without peer as an Aussie front woman and the video's were good to watch also.

"Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" is easily my fave of theirs, and it came several years after what most people regard as their peak. Dunno if they would have in in them to tour anymore... hearing the plethora of interviews they've done lately for the HoF induction, I doubt Mark McEntee knows where he is most of the time.

They looked good at the ARIA's. At least Mark knows he still has a job standing in the hall from 9 until 5. I would love Chrissy to come out with something that will blow these wannabe poptarts out of the water, time will tell.

Her solo rendition of "I Touch Myself" recently on ABC accompanied by an acoustic guitar is something to be heard.

Mark completely bombed the interview I heard, not so good at recollecting the music and times, perhaps his mind was elsewhere, he didn't sound like he cared or liked doing interviews judging that ARIA one. Just a little bit hazy.
