1. Affirmation

Savage Garden's songs are of innocence and urgency. On the Australian pop duo's second album, Affirmation, love is either a broken thing or a newly exploding one, passion and obsession taking over after a spin on the dance floor. At the same time, when Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones proclaim that they want to "live like animals," they're not planning anything too raw, too Reznorish: they just want that childlike lack of guile. This approach, taken with a total lack of irony and with large doses of appealing melodicism, led to multiplatinum sales for the act's debut, and there's no reason to think that Affirmation won't be similarly accepted. Sometimes a bit too goodhearted for its own good--the title track's wide-eyed sentiments might make even Stuart Smalley smirk--the disc's best moments are hard to dislike when taken on their own terms. -- Rickey Wright

2. Savage Garden

Our best-selling CD for six months in 1998 The label, Paul G. Schrody , August 14, 1999 " This was our best-selling CD for six months, and not without a reason. The songs were well written and the melodies are beautiful. Don't miss it. " As these two boys from Brisbane, Australia, know, it doesn't hurt to be endorsed by Rosie O'Donnell. When the Queen of Nice sang the words to "I Want You" and the praises of the duo behind it, the song catapulted up the charts. Largely ignored by the serious music press, Savage Garden have cultivated a vast fan base on the strength of their music--and airplay--alone. As formulaic as it may appear, the ballad "Truly Madly Deeply" was lodged at No. 1 for week after week for a reason--it's damn catchy and a welcome reprieve from overdone rock ballads. Lead singer Darren Hayes lends the same yearning vocal style to the third--and best--single from the album, "To the Moon & Back," a slice of synth-pop genius that culminates in a dramatic crescendo of strings, courtesy of coleader Daniel Jones. --Rebecca Wallwork

Because it has an exclusive live version of Santa Monica that you would only find in the rarest of the rare European Tears of Pearls single. And you have this one here right in front of your eyes.

10. Savage Garden: The Video Collection

Reviewer: Liz, from North Carolina, USA. " I gave savage garden 5 stars, i would have gave them 1,000 if i could. Savage Garden is the best band to ever walk the face of the earth. this video is great for a number of reasons. first, savage garden has a great way with words, the lyrics are sensational. second, Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones are 2 of the most beautiful guys on earth. third, the video they have is awesome. the futuristic background in I Want You. (or thats what i think) in To The Moon and Back i love the darkness of the video and i wish i could be the chinese/japanese woman in the subway that darren is singing in her ear. in Truly Madly Deely, i ABSOLUTLY LOVE Paris. that was a great place to shoot the video for TMD. it just does something to me that i cant explain. its just sensational. Break Me, Shake Me, i LOVE the way they show the concerts right before they sing "Break Me, Shake Me". and Tears Of Pearls is great! i love darren's cyber coat. i like the concert views. i love darren's actions in that video too, like the way he dances and moves around the stage and other things. if you havent been to a concert, you should go when they are touring again. the concert i went to was GREAT!
