VA - Kiwi Rock Classics CD1 - CD6 (A Butterboy Compilation) (6 x CD's)        REPOST

New Zealand has a rich musical heritage and there are also plenty of excellent artists in New Zealand playing brilliant rock, indie and alternative music. Rock music in New Zealand, also known as Kiwi rock music and New Zealand rock music, began in 1955 with Johnny Cooper's cover version of Bill Haley's hit song "Rock Around the Clock". This was followed by Johnny Devlin, New Zealand's Elvis Presley, and his cover of "Lawdy Miss Clawdy". The 1960s saw Max Merritt and the Meteors and Ray Columbus & the Invaders achieve success. In the 1970s and early 1980's the innovative Split Enz had success internationally as well as nationally, with member Neil Finn later continuing with Crowded House. Other influential bands in the 1970s were Th' Dudes, Dragon and Hello Sailor. The early 1980's saw the development of the indie rock "Dunedin sound", typified by Dunedin bands such as The Clean, Straitjacket Fits and The Chills, recorded by the Flying Nun record label of Christchurch. New Zealand's foremost hard rock band Shihad started their long career in 1988. 

Here are 120 tracks that showcase the diversity and talent of the many great Kiwi artists. As usual an eclectic, spanning decades of quality New Zealand tunes. Enjoy.
