Great_Albums#GreatAlbums2000s - #Powderfinger - Odyssey Number Five (2000). This Australian band, fronted by the charismatic Bernard Fanning, refined their earlier alt-rock for a more arena-friendly set full of melodic rock bangers. "Waiting for the Sun," "My Happiness," and "These Days" all combined solid writing with the kind of relatable guitar-driven anthems that would become a rare commodity in the 2000s. A touch workmanlike? Sure -- but craftsmanship this solid deserves props.
