Crowded House - Recurring Dream

You can see why Australia wants to claim them.  If a band has two thirds Australian members and is formed in Melbourne, you think we have a strong claim.  However, the driving force is clearly from New Zealand!  There aren’t many bands that have a flawless catalogue, but Crowded House was one of them.  This album is a collection of Crowded House’s greatest hits and is, as you would expect, flawless.  Neil Finn reformed the band in 2006 with mixed results.  But if you focus on the first four albums (which is done here) then you can’t go wrong.  This is world class pop music created by a master of his craft.
