Split Enz: Dirty Creature

What about Tim Finn? Yes, he was the elder Finn brother and the leader of Split Enz after the departure of Phil Judd, as far as I'm concerned anyway. 

The following video shows the band as I most knew them, with the smaller lineup which had Noel Crombie as the drummer. I most easily remember them as being Tim Finn, Eddie Rayner, and then the three N's: Nigel (Griggs, the bass player), Neil, and Noel. Noel sure looks different with the short hair and goatee. 

But back to Tim; much like Ann Wilson and Heart, he was the older sibling with a strong presence and sang the majority of the lead vocals. (He also joined Neil's Crowded House for a time.)

Here's one of their most popular songs, Dirty Creature. 

P.S. - If you're squeamish at all, close your eyes for a few seconds around 2:33 when the creature flies out of the water!
