But how do you choose the very best?

Reviewed by Bach the Rock, 2009-12-29

I have 5 of their releases, and it is hard to find a dud. That is one thing that was so grand about this band. So then, in the future, I would rather recommend a box set of everything.

Where is Recurring Dream?

Reviewed by ToddSawyer, 2009-06-12

I love this compilation, however, am I the only one missing a certain song? From the Tequila Sunrise soundtrack? Which would be "Recurring Dream"? What gives? I think that exclusion was either a glaring error or on purpose. Maybe there was an issue with film rights or something. Oh well. Enjoy your music without the hangover.

Mature 80's music

Reviewed by Mikal C. Johnson, 2008-04-27

Okay, I was a teenager in the 80's. And I mean, the entirety of my teenage years were in the 80's. Sadly, I had no connection with my peers at the time and totally missed 80's music.
Recently, I've been trying to catch up on what other kids were listening to back then.
Okay... I already knew two of these songs; "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Something So Strong."
Upon hearing the rest of the disc, I'm impressed. I think I would have liked these guys had I heard them back when I thought everything the other kids were listening to was bubble-gummy crap.
There is, however, a maturity level to these songs that I think may have eluded me then... but that leads me to think I would have stayed a fan as I aged and the songs took on more depth to me.

Australian/New Zealand Hidden Musical Treasure!

Reviewed by ARMANDO R. VENEGAS, 2008-02-15

More than twenty years have passed since the Finn brothers, founders of Crowded House, hit the world music Charts with their mellow Hit "Don't Dream It's Over". This song has become almost an authentic Classic since then!

After the 'death' of Split Enz, the Finns led Crowded House to become one of the best bands in terms of performing good music, composing powerful tunes combined with real nice lyrics.

In this album you will find their two greatest hits "Don't Dream It's Over" and also "Something So Strong". However, almost any song in this compilation is a nice one!

No doubt about it, this 'Recurring Dream' is another must-have for any serious Rock music collector!

Top Raves for Recurring Dream

Reviewed by Vinyl fiend, 2008-02-14

Everyone remembers Crowded House from the 80's and 90's for their catchy and thoughtful songs "Don't Dream it's Over", "Something so Strong", "Fall at Your Feet", and "Whispers and Moans". Even if those are the only songs you've ever heard from Crowded House, realize that those songs are only a small sample of the treasure house that is contained on Recurring Dream. After listening to Recurring Dream about 20 times in the past week, those hit singles I listed above aren't even the best Crowded House has to offer. Comprised of songs from their four albums, Recurring Dream has NO off songs. Every one is a winner: beautiful, thoughtful, catchy, and sometimes funny lyrics that will make you see this completely underrated group in a new light. The songs and sound of the band are totally unique, in fact, you'll be hard pressed to squeeze Crowded House into a category. You'll wonder why Crowded House wasn't played as often as other bygone bands who have not stood the test of time. And truly, the music is timeless. The members of Crowded House are true musicians who they have gone on to great solo efforts. Buy it...and do it now before you waste your money on another trendy band that sounds like everyone else.
