yes most of the time and as a whole I really enjoy Croatian music, not as good as British or American but that is a matter of taste. I even like Klappa!
Oliver though is complete twaddle and I've burnt my wife's CD's. His ugly.

What is the point of what someone looks like if they have a gift, they have a gift. How shallow to judge someone by what they look like.

It's intteresting to see what other, supposedly non croatians have to say about Oliver. I'm just in one of the nostalgic moments at present listening to Oliver's CD and it still (after 17 years living in UK) makes me cry. I recently had a Serbian friend (me being Croatian) around listening to him and reminissing of the old times. He bridges the rifts between ex YU nations becouse he had been around for so many years and does take you back to good old times growing up, 1st love type of thing.

Oliver has rehashed a lot of good folk songs, but his voice is failing, and he could never, ever stand in the same stratospheric level as Djorje Balasevic, that man has and had, everything. Talent, a poetic soul, fun and lively music, and an ability to reach out to the thinkers and make them realise that we are all humans. His recent concert in Split, while a sell-out, was also one of the best gigs I've been at, U2 he ain't, but for a tight venue he's unbelieveable.

cro-am, you should be taken out at dawn and forced to listen to the Oliver supermix, at full voume ;D how can you call yourself a Croatian ;D I agree that it is trashy cro-pop, but you know, when people are away from home they listen to some god awful stuff that's suposed to remind them of home, at least that's what the norm is (ask Irish living abroad about Daniel O'Donnell!)

He is garbage, but then so is all pop music. I prefer the classics such as Vivaldi, Pavarotti and Buddy Holly

irac, wahahahahaha...i cringed when i read that...
I took cool music with me to croatia last summer from the US. Just because we leave our homeland doesn't mean we have to leave our taste behind! I don't turn into a brittany spears listening teenie bopper as soon as I am in international waters! ;D hahahahaha i think the big problem is the sheer lack of quality modern croatian music. I don't know if it doesn't exist or if it is just independent and underground. For example some nice croatian punk rock would be cool...or rock, or pop punk, or well, at least they have Severina....hahahahahahahahahaha. Cheers!!!! PS ok i admit it...i love Oliver! thanks for helping me out of the closet with that! whahahahahahahaha..

i agree with emiz that pop music almost always sucks.
who sang that song "hrvatska...mora pobjediti!!!" it was like hard rock and played on scola during the war...it was so funny.
Anyways...thanks irac for the new nickname....I'm posting with the abreviated cro-am from here on out.
