All four Crowded House albums between 1986 and 1993 are top notch. Even the selection of leftovers that is Afterglow contains songs that most artists would kill for.I thought Neil Finn wrote some fantastic songs on Temple of Low Men but then Woodface more than matched it. I would agree with the view sometimes expressed that Tim is better when he is collaborating with other people. I think there's been a decent amount of sibling rivalry which we have been the beneficiaries of over the years!

I must have missed the one where they were up against each other. I’d have voted for bothPffft what's the point of being a middlebrow conventional thinker? Must love Billy Joel and solo Sting records too.
Yes I am sure there was this rivalry between them as brothers always wanting to get closer to the perfect song they could never write.
I remember in an interview some years ago I heard Tim mentioning he wrote his best music while he a member of Split Enz with I Hope I Never from True Colours when Neil had started writing songs on his own , his best work and the peak of his song writing abilities.
Personally albeit True Colours is a good album which I quickly bought after its release I prefer earlier material from Split Enz and do rate them a better band than Crowded House. While not a huge fan of Tim's solo work I do think he is the better song writer and I always thought Neil had too much of Lennon McCartney in his mind but agreed he did write some excellent songs.
