    internationalist is the best album by a long way... everything else is too radio friendly. I recommend internationalist or their first 2 albums. Don't bother about Vulture street or their new one.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)

    im a big fan of Powderfinger, did you know they got their name from a Neil Young song?

    I actualy thought that is what this thread was about.

    Don't know the band Powderfinger,

    but the Neil Young song of the same name is, in my uneducated opinion, one of his best songs.

    :D

    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    Powderfinger are my second favorite band. They rawk!!!! Bernard is an amazing musician and Darren Middleton is one of the best rock guitarists australia has ever produced.

    double allergic and internationalist are their best albums

    D'oh! I'm so blind! I swear I checked out that link, that's probably where 'I found' it! But dammit, it is a wicked version!

    I got Internationalist and Odysseynumberfive though in the post today, both really good, dammit this thread needs bumping until people take some serious notice - you people have no idea what you're missing out on!

    Wicked cool. 'Vulture Street', whilst no where near as good overall as the earlier stuff, has a couple that are worth a listen. 'Since you've been gone', (written by bernie about his brother that died), awesome song, and 'Rockin' Rocks'. Damn that's a cool song to rock out to.

    I've got Since You've Been Gone downloaded (will pick up the record when I've got some spare cash!), I didn't realise it was about his brother, that's pretty sad Great song though.
