The Aussie\/Kiwi trio created a sound as playful as Split Enz - out of which two of its members graduated - with an adventurous spirit inspired by The Beatles, and crafted genuinely enduring melodies. Earworm-worthy songs like 'Weather With You', 'Distant Sun', 'Better Be Home Soon' and so many others have become genre-bending, sing-along-able and timeless creations. What began with three buddies, led by songwriter Neil Finn, playfully frolicking, and mugging the camera in music videos, developed into mature artists reflecting on life, love and mortality after the death of their beloved drummer. In time, this blossomed once again into a true family band as the younger Finns joined their father as permanent members. Along the way, Crowded House consistently churned out unforgettable melody after intoxicatingly unforgettable melody over eight studio albums. This track-by-track exploration of their poetic lyrics and musical legacy recognises the quality that has brought them the love and admiration of music fans and fellow musicians from around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJon Magidsohn is a writer and musician living in south London.
