It's well worth it to find Colin's Man @ Work album, where he revisits some of the bigger hits as acoustic hits. I believe Jeff featured “Overkill” on one of his mixtapes, and it's what led me to find the record. It's good, and worth finding.

Part of me believes that even if the band proper remained intact, if they threw an occasional bone to the lighter side and had they possibly chosen other songs, the outcome would have stayed the same. Few bands can stay popular very long – it's a lot to do with the fickle marketplace.

I love “Two Hearts.” It still ends up as my third favorite Men at Work album (though the first two bounce back and forth in their respective positions at #1 and #2), but I'll put any of the trio into the CD player without hesitation. Ham's “Giving Up” really should've been a single…and so should the title cut, for that matter. Or “Children on Parade,” or…well, anyway, what I'm saying is that it's an underrated album that's often unjustly forgotten.

Yeah, just check out his solo stuff. A lot of it is quite good. I never get tired of hearing “Beautiful World.”
