I was a big fan from Shabooh thru Thieves, but then Kick came along and wore them out for me. They were a slightly edgier version of The Fixx and less insufferable version of U2. But I was sad when I heard how Michael died - what a waste.
Auto-erotic asphixia sure has robbed rock-n-roll of some major talent; that, and sleep/vomit apnea.
Compact Disk brought high fidelity to the masses and audiophiles will never forgive it for that
X is INXS at their best. my favorite track is 'The Stairs'
I heard the original version of that after I heard the re-recorded version with J.D Fortune. It's a great song. Btw, who has(or has heard) Original Sin? It's the album that INXS put out in 2010(2011 in the U.S) featuring new versions of their songs with people like Ben Harper, Rob Thomas, and Tricky. I like it, because it's great to dance to. Also glad to see that it got released on the reactivated ATCO Records label.
Some of my fave INXS songs.
INXS is a great band from the 80's. I have all of their albums. Every year when summer hits I must play "Melting In The Sun".
one of the greats from Aussie... X is actually my favorite album from INXS. the tracks The Stairs & Here That Sound are 2 of the best songs they did. Michael Hutchence was a great front man. kind of reminded me of Jim Morrison. last i heard INXS officially called it quits. but then without Hutchence, they weren't the same anyway. that TV show debacle to find a new singer was a joke.
My feelings exactly. Became a fan originally with One Thing and Don't Change. The first time I saw them was on the Swing tour, opening for the Go-Go's. The Swing remains my favorite album - the last time I saw them was on the Kick tour but the overexposure of that album put me off. I still like Devil Inside, but the rest not so much. I really need to get The Swing on CD - used to play that album every day when I worked at the record store in the 80s.
I saw INXS back-up Men at Work. INSX blew them off the stage - unknown at the time.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
This song(especially the middle section) used to scare the shit out of me when I was little. I decided to follow my listening of Sports by Huey Lewis And The News with Listen Like Thieves. This is my second favorite INXS CD.
A cool INXS instrumental.
Great band. I like a lot of their middle period, especially "Kick."

Great band, loved them in the 80's and still listen to them today. I have Kick & one of the greatest hits cd's in my car. Used to play The One Thing, What You Need, and just about all of Kick in my cover bands back then.
I never said that they should not be discussed if someone wants to...but IMHO majority PErs sentiment is to discuss progressive music related topics
Some good ol' early INXS.
It's weird seeing Michael with short hair.
