There would be quite a long list of great album tracks by Kiwi singer/songwriters. I'm sure there are as many great songs that never get officially released as singles, or get earmarked for radio airplay. Here are a couple to get the ball rolling. The much maligned 80's pub band The Narcs, with the third track off side 2 of the album "Great Divide". "Heart and soul" was the tune that hogged the limelight here, being voted song of the year for 1984.

 

 

"Lazy Susan" (CBS label no picture cover) and "Missing in Action" were the other two singles released, and they were also fine offerings.

 

But equally impressive was that side two song "Fantasy".

Dragon's 1989 album "Bondi Road" was a great album. An amazing 5 singles were officially released from that album ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  ...but a song deeply buried on side 2 called "Good time girl" was a better choice for a single than many of the 5 chosen. It's a bit of a mystery why a cover of the overexposed song "Celebration" was released instead of this original tune (co-written by Kiwi songwriting great Sharon O'Neill).
