091: Crowded House - Crowded House (1986)

Before Neil Finn was the New Lindsay Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac, and after he labored in the shadow of his brother Tim in Split Enz, he was the singer, guitarist, and principal songwriter for the band Crowded House. In 1985, Finn, drummer Paul Hester, and bassist Nick Seymour recorded Crowded House's debut album with producer Mitchell Froom, featuring the hits “Don’t Dream It’s Over” and “Something So Strong.” Ben, Amanda, and Rich talk about this collection of punchy, melodic, and thought-provoking anthems that broke a band of New Zealanders and Australians big in America. <br /><br />Cohosts: Ben Marlin, Rich Bunnell, Amanda Rodgers<br /><br />Complete show notes: <a href="https://discordpod.com/listen/091-crowded-house-crowded-house-1986" rel="noopener">https://discordpod.com/listen/091-crowded-house-crowded-house-1986</a><br /><br />Support the podcast! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/discordpod" rel="noopener">https://www.patreon.com/discordpod</a>
