Information:What's the band's name?Crowded House/Neil Finn What genre is this band?Rock Where is this band from?New Zealand Does this band have a homepage?http://www.frenz.com/... Give a short summary of this band ("Soft folk with a jazzy twist" for instance):Some of the most beautiful songs out there. Reviews:Taylor nelsoN: Some of the most beautiful songs out there. Yes, you all remember "Don't Dream It's Over", but no one else has really heard anything after
that. Crowded House (and, after their 1996 breakup, The Finn Brothers, then Neil Finn) have
the kind of songs that could make me cry with merely a couple notes. If you've not heard CH
before, go buy their "Best Of.." CD. It has all the hits and a few unreleased songs, too!
Josh Woodward: Pop that doesn't suck. Agreed with Taylor -- some of the musically best
stuff out there. Crowded House was my favorite
band for years when I was younger!
Lauren Teson: Pop that hits home One of my favorite songs of all time would have to
be Something So Strong. How can you get away
from lyrics like: I've been feeling so much older;
Frame me and hang me on the wall. Gotta agree
with Tay, the Best of CD is wonderful although I
love listening to Something So Strong on 45.
mickey: crowded house: the wonder from down under. not tag-team wrestlers, as the description may
sound, but rather a lush duo with distinctive
voices, lyrics, and harmonies. "best of" is a great
survey, but i think "together alone" is really CH's
best. "try whistling this" is solid as a rock.
Will work for anime: more than just "Don't Dream It's Over" yeah yeah....anyone growing up in the 80's has
heard that song...but this band is so much more!!!!
I command all of you to go out this minute and
listen to "Together Alone".....if you don't get chills
listening to the title song or "Private
Universe"....you need some help ;-)....go now!
The Complete Mr Chaplin: Melodic emotion I remember a review of Together Alone that
said "Neil Finn pisses genius"...i think that about
sums it up.
Erick: One of the top 5 songwriters of our generation Neil Finn has a magical way of breaking all the songwriting rules while still making his
songs approachable.
angelmusicmaven: Wow. Just wow. David A. Scott: Anyone who thinks this guy's career ended after the overly-covered "Don't Dream It's Over", and its follow-up single "Something So Strong", has been living in a dark cave, indeed. From the pre-Crowded House material (Split Enz) to the recent solo and Finn Brothers albums, Neil Finn has been building an impressive archive of songs. From moody-but-catchy (Anytime, Only Talking Sense) to achingly romantic (Try Whistling This, Into the Sunset), to finely crafted pop (Rest of the Day Off, She Will Have Her Way), Neil Finn's catalog reads like a how-to of songwriting. Under the radar in much of America, it's nice to know that most of the rest of the world has been giving this guy the attention he deserves. (Also, check out fellow SE/CH/FB member Tim Finn's most recent work. Eclectic but terrific.) Benito Camelas: I love this band, mainly because the gorgeous Neil Finn's songwriting skills. He's endlessly inventive
