Excerpt: "Don't Dream It's Over" is a song written by Neil Finn and performed by Australian rock band Crowded House released in 1986 from their self-titled debut album. It became the band's biggest international hit, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. In May 2001, Australasian Performing Rights Association (Apra) celebrated its 75th anniversary by naming the best New Zealand and best Australian songs of all time, as decided by Apra members and an industry panel. "Don't Dream It's Over" was ranked second on the New Zealand list and seventh on the Australian list. While the Australian listing was considered controversial in New Zealand, it was noted that the band drew members from New Zealand, Australia and America and was formed in Melbourne.
