New Zealand's Crowded House won over both critics and fans with its self-titled 1986 debut album, a multimillion-selling collection of clever, sparkling guitar-pop tunes that spawned two Top Ten hits -- "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Something So Strong" -- and inspired comparisons with the Kinks and Squeeze. After a rather disappointing sophomore effort, Crowded House rebounded with 1991's WOODFACE, which reunited the band's front man and principal songwriter Neil Finn with his big brother, Tim, with whom he had previously played in the eccentric, influential cult group Split Enz. The elder Finn brought an offbeat edge to Neil's polished song craft, resulting in biting, ironic rockers like "Chocolate Cake" and pointed, wistful ballads such as "Weather with You" and "Fall at Your Feet." While WOODFACE didn't produce any smash hits, its consistency and complexity secured the Finns' status as smart-pop heroes. Elysa Gardner

Where Crowded House's previous album, Temple of Low Men, showcased the often dark side of a man alone with his thoughts, Woodface represents the joy of reunion and the freedom of a collaborative effort -- more than half of the album was originally conceived as a Finn Brothers project, which was Tim and NEIL's first crack at writing together. The songs are easily their finest to date, combining flawless melodies and the outstanding harmonies of the brothers' perfectly matched voices. Chris Woodstra
