Double Allergic by Powderfinger
Double Allergic is an album by Powderfinger, released in 1996. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 4 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Pick You Up”, on 1 list with a best position of #6.
Double Allergic, Powderfinger's second album, came out on Polydor in Australia on 2 September 1996, with Tim Whitten producing, and it's the record that carried the Brisbane five-piece into the mainstream. Bernard Fanning sings, Darren Middleton and Ian Haug trade guitars, John Collins plays bass and Jon Coghill drums, and they hit a sweet spot between grunt and melody.
"Pick You Up" was the breakthrough, their first taste of chart success, and "D.A.F.", "Living Type" and "Take Me In" followed as singles. Critics mostly liked it, it went triple platinum, and it racked up five ARIA nominations of its own and four more for its singles, though it went home empty-handed. The number-one albums were just around the corner.
