Dobbyn tunes popular choices for all-time favourite Kiwi song

Dave Dobbyn is New Zealand's favourite songwriter, following a Herald online poll over the weekend.
Two of Dobbyn's classic singles - Slice of Heaven and Loyal - are currently leading the poll, which asked readers to select their all-time favourite New Zealand song.
Crowded House comes in a close third with Don't Dream It's Over, a song made even more poignant following last week's announcement that the band is to release a new album this year, more than ten years after the group disbanded.
80s rockers Dragon are sitting at the bottom of the poll, with just three per cent of voters choosing Rain as their favourite song.
More than 2,500 readers have already voted in our online poll. To have your say, visit the poll on the right of our home page.
