Crowded House is a rock group formed in Melbourne, Australia, and led by New Zealand musician and singer-songwriter Neil Finn. Originally active between 1985 and 1996, their notable hits from this period include "Don't Dream It's Over", "Something So Strong", "Better Be Home Soon", "Fall at Your Feet" and "Weather With You".The success of the group's third album Woodface prompted the Queen of England in June 1993 to bestow the OBE on Tim and Neil for their contribution to the music of New Zealand.
