Crowded House is claimed as Australian
– but you can judge for yourself. The
lead singer/songwriter and another member of the band were born in a small town
in New Zealand – they are Neil and Tim Finn – both of whom were also in the
successful band Split Enz.
Crowded
House had a big international hit in 1986 with Don't Dream It's Over – written by
Neil Finn. It did well in the US, Canada
and, of course, New Zealand and Australia.
I
am posting about Crowded House today because 27 May is Neil Finn's 55th
birthday – just reaching his prime in my view!
I love Crowded House such an amazing band. I have one of their CDs She will have her way - 1 CD is female artists covering their songs and the 2nd CD is their original versions. Its great, my favourite is Missy Higgins singing Stuff and Nonsense :)
ReplyDeleteIn the UK they marketed Crowded House's greatest hits compilation with the tagline 'you know more Crowded House songs than you think you do' which I thought was clever. My own favourite is Always Take the Weather With You.
