My ex GF who was from Australia (she was a nanny here for a year) went to college with the band. Powerfinger entered a battle of the bands and the original singer, his name escapes me, could not make it since he had to study for exams. So, Bernie asked if he could sing in the battle of the bands since the real singer was not going to, he agreed and the rest is history. Powerfinger won the battle of the bands and told the judges that Fanning was not the real singer but just a fill in, and the judges ( I think it was triple J) said they would not get the contract since the band that won is the band the label wanted. So the original singer got screwed over. He wrote the first album but did not copywrite any of the songs thus got ****ed over. That is why if you notice the first album is totally different from all their other albums.

odessey #5 (yes its 5) is quite poppish but their latest album, vulture street, is more rock/bluesy so it depends what you prefer
