Neil Finn Chooses His Final Tracks Of My Years
Crowded House frontman Neil Finn shares his music passion. Plus there’s Album and Record Of The Week, final dive of the week into Vernon's Vault and Ten To The Top.
Neil Finn, founding member and frontman of award-winning, multi-million selling, global chart-topping act Crowded House, chooses his final songs that reflect his life in this week's Tracks Of My Years.
With a career spanning nearly four decades, Crowded House have sold 15 million records worldwide, and collected 13 ARIA Awards, an MTV VMA, and a BRIT Award.
Originally founded by Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, and the late Paul Hester, the band achieved global success with songs like Don’t Dream It’s Over, Fall At Your Feet, Weather With You and many more.
In 1996, the group delivered a legendary 'farewell' performance to an audience of over 150,000 on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, but reunited in 2007 and have gone from strength to strength.
They recently performed in Radio 2’s Piano Room, and will soon be releasing a new album `Gravity Stairs’, which they'll also tour around the festival circuit in June.
Neil’s final two choices are from Talking Heads and Bjork.
There'll also be more audio nuggets from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Archive in Vernon's Vault; there's Record and Album Of The Week and and two more contestants try their luck in the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.
