Default Crowded House/Neil Finn

Come on i can't be the only Neil Finn fan here?? Crowded House are his most popular vehicle but his brilliant in solo career aswell.

I'm sure most people on here will like his/their music, their catchy, great lyrics and good instrumental.

Don't Dream Its Over (Was a hit in the 80s):

Fall At Your Feet (beautiful song):

Try Whistling This (A solo finn song, one of this best):

Amsterdam (newish crowded house song(2010)):

Great band. Fantastic song writer.

Funny story, years ago when I was in a band with an old girlfriend I phoned her up all excited about a great new chorus I'd come up with and I wanted her to hear it then help me out with the verses.

I got down to hers and played and sang it. She started laughing and asked if I was being serious.

She went into her cd collection, pulled out a cd and put it on. I'd pretty much "written" the chorus to Fall At Your Feet. I mean it was nigh on identical except for the lyrics. I'd never heard it before at least knowingly, (I must have subconsciously heard it to end up "writing" it) but I fell in love with it and have dug Crowded House ever since.

In retrospect it could have been really embarassing if she'd never heard it either and we took it out in front of people claiming it as our own

Love Crowded House and have since I was a teenager. Don't Dream It's Over, Fall At Your Feet, Private Universe all fantastic songs.

Used to fall asleep listening to their albums (not case they were boring but just nice and chilled.)

So yeah, I'm a big fan. Need to catch them live.
