Crowded House

[CRAZY-HORSE]

CROWDED HOUSE "recurring dream-the best of crowded house" 1996.

in 1995 Neil Finn went to work on a project with brother Tim entitled "finn", by the end of it he was positive that he wanted to go solo and do his own thing, thus Crowded House were disbanded. the band did get back together in 1996 to record three new tracks for a "best of" set, those tracks were "not the girl you think you are", "everything is good for you" and "instinct".
this album contains 16 of the bands previous 20 singles(not a bad feat in 4 albums)..and everyone is a cracker...its one of the best greatest hits collections ever released IMO..not a dud in sight, even the three new tracks fit comfortably beside the older hits.
Not The Girl You Think You Are*** is very Beatle-ish and the best of the three, the other two are good songs each rating "**".
to finalise this breakup of the band CH went on a massive world tour to thank their fans for their support through the years which culminated in a free show outside the Sydney Opera House where inexess of 200,000 people gathered for the three hour finale.
the video of this show was released in 2006 entitled "farewell to the world" and is worth seeking out as a visual accompanyment to this greatest hits package.
as all links are available on the various albums posted thus so far i will only include the three new links here.
