Who's Up For Ten To The Top?

Crowded House frontman Neil Finn shares his music passion. Plus there’s Album and Record Of The Week, another dive into Vernon's Vault and Ten To The Top.

Neil Finn, founding member and frontman of award-winning, multi-million selling, global chart-topping act Crowded House, chooses songs that reflect his life, in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

With a career spanning nearly four decades, Crowded House have sold 15 million records worldwide, and collected 13 ARIA Awards, an MTV VMA, and a BRIT Award.

Originally founded by Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, and the late Paul Hester, the band achieved global success with songs like Don’t Dream It’s Over, Fall At Your Feet, Weather With You and many more.

In 1996, the group delivered a legendary 'farewell' performance to an audience of over 150,000 on the steps of the Sydney Opera House but reunited in 2007 and have gone from strength to strength.

They recently performed in Radio 2’s Piano Room and will soon be releasing a new album `Gravity Stairs’, which they'll also tour around the festival circuit in June.

Neil’s next two choices are from Cilla Black and Marvin Gaye.

Plus the mid-morning music quiz Ten To The Top, a trip in to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Archive with Vernon's Vault, and the Record and Album Of The Week

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you - email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you’d like to apply to take part in Ten To The Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk
