Crowded House - Platinum (2008)
This is a guest post written by Prezdead.
Release group ‘EON’ brings us a neat little surprise from New Zealand, now re-united, band Crowded House. After a long breakup and a sketchy existence, these guys are back after an 11 year ‘break’ with a greatest hits package. Good tunes and rockin’ riffs. Enjoy!
Platinum is a greatest hits package thrown together by Platinum Records. Can’t find a set release date … but we have something to go on after their last album, Time on Earth, released in June of 2007 & reaching #1 in Australia and #3 in the UK.
Crowded House is a rock group formed in Melbourne and led by New Zealand musician and singer-songwriter Neil Finn. Finn is widely recognised as the primary songwriter and creative direction of the band, having led it through several incarnations, drawing members from New Zealand (himself, Tim Finn and Eddie Rayner), Australia (Paul Hester, Nick Seymour, Peter Jones and Craig Hooper) and the United States (Mark Hart and Matt Sherrod).

They are a New Zealand band. Not Australian, have you not seen Death Proof. There are consequences to mistaking New Zealanders for Aussies.
What.Happens.In.Vegas.TS.XViD-mVs is out.
Since when is Crowded House an Aussie band?! They’re a Kiwi (New Zealand) band.
Next you’ll be saying Dragon and Shihad are Aussie bands too…
aussies? what a f ucking joke. thats an insult to my country lol

Thank you for posting non mainstream stuff!!
“Weather with you” is missing…not good. And Aussie band *ouch*, next thing would be that Bruce Springsteen is a famous scottish hip-hop artist…never mind, thx anyway!
“from the Aussie,” ?????
From australia, From the Aussies,
Im sorry, but it just didn’t read to well. Aussie is singular. Aussies is plural.
Oopps. Lol sorry folks.
Funny thing this is a greatest hits and it’s missing there
biggest song “hey now” don’t dream it’s over. What a rip off
Well said Left (post 11) where in the world is “Weather with you”. Possible not released under Platinum records? and released through a different record company?…….anyhoo
Also Paul Hester from the band past away a couple of years ago. He commited suicide.
i agree the aussies always try to steal our talent when they go over their.
Aussis don’t make bands this good. Abit like there rugby team
Rugby sucks.
Newbie here. I love the site but i want to know how to summit a post? Please help
@amil: these posts were submitted during our music competition. if you have some nice post, just send it to my email. if you want to become a regular editor and you believe you have skills to do so, mail me too
Martin, I’ve enjoyed and respected your posts up until now but COME ON!
Crowded House are an Australian band?!?! Are you nuts?!
Sure, they formed in Melbourne, but do a little bit of reading and you’ll see they’re a New Zealand band through and through! All of their songs reference our culture and landmarks around New Zealand, not bloody Australia! >.<
The big Australia mistake aside, I can’t wait to download this!
Not “Hey Now” or “Weather With You” though….

@22: try to read before complaining:
“This is a guest post written by Prezdead.”
and it was fixed already…
Thanks Martin!
–Saiyanfury
man are they ever old. well, they dreamed and now its over.
not too sure about the band now without Paul Hester…
Don’t sweat it Martin
New Zealand was part of New South Wales way back when, and the Kiwi’s still can’t get over it
Gr8 site, keep up the good work
Ummm the band was signed to an Austalian Label for years,
And the band was formed after the previous OZ band “Split Ends” so the three guys in Australia at the time launched Crowded House. (Band was not formed in NZ)
Paul Hesta was an Australian musician, so just because the sheepshaggers are having a fit, doesn’t mean that the Band is NewZealandish……
The band had Australian and NewZealand band members and played and performed more in Australia than they ever did in NZ. The former farewell concert was done in Australia, not NZ! I guess NZ’ers don’t have much to claim fame too, so may as well claim anything they can ;)…… Meanwhile CH rocks! They can claim the Finn brothers, but not the band!
Thanks.

jeez all the aussies and new zealanders sure get worked up about where they are from!!!!
they own houses in australia and new zealand.
they have been touring here for forever.
its easy to see why aombody would think they were australian.
even though theyre not.
and theres a (better) more comprehensive best of album out there…..
Good one from the great Aussie band
they have other greatest hits albums ….which contain the tracks the above posters are complaining are missing….do a search….so this album is actually redundant as a “better” GH is already out….its called Recurring Dream…
My fave (Into Temptation)is also missing…
This band are Beatlesque….and legends in my opinion…
they also put on a F@#$ing good concert too!!
wow the choices here lately are horrendous
then mike i suggest you seek alternate sites for your “choices” M8….
…or better still set upi your own site which you could then fill with your own personal “choices”….dimwit….
@ 34
dont bloody insult me
i’m the dimwit
Always quite liked this band but this seems to be a pointless release when the far superior “Recurring Dream” best-of has been out for years.
Ok, so it has some stuff from thier latest album, but that was nothing special compares to thier older stuff.
This new release only has 12 tracks for a start and misses off a lot of thier best tracks (whereas “Recurring Dream” has 19 tracks).
If you want to sample this band just get “Recurring Dream” from a torrent site and ignore this release.
Weather With You and Don’t Dream It’s Over- the two best CH songs are not on this release. What a ‘Best Of’
The cd would make a nice coaster anyways …rubbish collection

I’m confused about all the fuss. Isn’t New Zealand a province of Australia?
Here’s some AWESOME Australian music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1ufW2INWmM
Crowded House, Split Enz, Evermore, Shihad, and Dragon are all New Zealand bands so can we please stop the debate?
don’t forget Colette was Nz too, lol.
Nice good work
love this band but them tracks suck!
no “Weather with you”, no “Last to know” come on there the songs i know this band because of.
Btw there is a better Best of:
Crowed House-Recurring Dream The Very Best Of Crowded House2CD
If the kiwi’s are claiming Crowded House, they have to take Russell Crowe as well!
As a kiwi sheep shearer once said “I’m not sharing that sheep with anybody!”
You could argue that 2 out of the 3 band members are Australian which would make Crowded House 66% australian but when the main singer, songwriter, music writer is a Kiwi you could argue its a NZ band with aussie musicians.
Anyways as everyone else has said get Recurring Dream as it as far more tracks. The new label is just trying to cash in.
F@#king Australians, F@#K off you can have Russel Crowe and Derrin Hynch for that matter
47 posts and only 2 comments about sheep???? What’s the world coming to????? The ditch must be getting wider or something
And no mention of the cricket or netball either…. choice bro!!!
CH are a great band - I sen them live many times back in the ’80s, and it was worth every cent.
Hester and Seymour are not from NZ. Neil Finn has even said the band was not a NZ band (enough already). In fact, if your want to get specific, it was a Melbourne band.

Now, the Finn Brothers (Neil, Tim, or the aggregate of their powers) that’s NZ. Also, the songwriting muscle behind Crowded House…that too is pure NZ. So, chill everyone. Reserve your piss and vinegar for when the media says that the addition of two American’s makes them an American band.
