This one was pretty big for Hunters and Collectors way back. Don't know what sort of airplay it got overseas though...

Say Goodbye

This one's from their earlier self-titled album.

WOW! Reading thru everyones comments on here, its apparent that A: there is not 1 single Aussie here, & B: none of ya therefore know what you are on about!!!
...I mean Cmon I have not met a single person (even in Oz) who talks up ALL SAINTS being a great Aussie band & then bags BARNESY?!! 1 is a fair dinkim Legend, had more hits & sold more albums that any other Australian band or solo artist... Then theres ALL SAINTS, a 1-hit wonder from 40yrs ago, that even us Aussies have long forgotten about!!!

I'd suggest listening to The Inbetweeners if you haven't already. Their album "16 Lovers Lane" is a masterpiece and sounds like melodic, twangy pop rock at its be. look my project

Lol at the guy who thinks he's an expert on Oz Rock after bumping a thread that hasn't been commented on for 10 years and then gets "The Saints" mixed up with British girl group "All Saints".
