New Zealand (1986 – 1996, 2007 – present)

Crowded House are a New Zealand/Australian/United States rock group that have existed during two eras: 1986-1996 and 2007-present; two original members were from Australia and one was from New Zealand. The group was based around the songwriting and vocal talents of New Zealand born lead singer, composer and guitarist Neil Finn.

Bursting onto the international scene in 1987 with

Don’t Dream It’s Over from the album Crowded House, the band seemed destined for greatness. However, despite eking out one more hit from the album,

Something So Strong, the follow up Temple of Low Men failed to repeat its commercial success, despite critical acclaim. Radio had a hard time categorizing them, but within the industry they quickly gained a stellar reputation as “musicians’ musicians”, and outside the industry as one of the best live acts, featuring mixed setlists and improvisations. A set of three shows at one venue would often feature less than half the the songs being played more than once.

It wasn’t until 1991’s Woodface that the band hit international success again, specifically with the jointly written Finn Brothers track

Weather With You.

In fact, the album that emerged wasn’t the one originally proposed.

I only have recurring dreams, but CH are such a nostalgic band for me, my mum used to listen to them when I was tiny.

Chocolate Cake = in my opinion, the lowest point of an absolutely, 100% perfect album....... I am probably the only one who thinks that :(

Yeah, excellent classic pop track. That's why I love the 80s and the 90s, because of appearing tracks like "Don't dream it''s over".
