Crowded House - Don't Dream its Over - 1987

Released in 1987 "Don't Dream its Over" was the first single from the first album by Crowded House. It would also turn out to be their most successful single ever, reaching #2 in the US. In the intervening years its been covered by everyone from Paul Young to, gulp, Susan Boyle and was recently a fairly big hit for Sixpence None the Richer. A beautiful melody sure but what would this song be without that guitar line and organ solo, which has to be said is the probably the best organ solo since the one in Procol Harem's "Whiter Shade of Pale".
