CAFFE` LATTE` 
TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS


#353 INTO TEMPTATION Crowded House
Crowded House deal with infidelity on Neil Finn's best composition, "Into Temptation". Featured on the group's 1988 album 'Temple of Low Men', the emotive ballad is sung perfectly by Finn. Mitchell Froom's production is precise and helps reveal the true beauty of the song. Released as a single, the disc charted in Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. 
The group broke up in 1996. Drummer Paul Hester formed a new band. Finn recorded as a soloist as well as with his brother Tim as The Finn Brothers. In 2005, Hester, who had been dealing with depression for years, committed suicide. Finn reunited with Nick Seymour, Mark Hart and new recruit Matt Sherrod. They released the 'Time on Earth' and 'Intriguer' albums in 2007 and 2010 respectively.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
2 new songs are added each day (every 12 hours)  with a mid-week bonus every Wednesday.
