Listening to “What You Need” and realizing that if I wasn’t 3 years old In 1985, I may have thought they were the next Stones.

That’s all. INXS is awesome and underrated.

They were like two bands to me. The Swing and everything prior was like great alt./college music. After that, pop crap for the most part.

The Live Baby Live concert is a great example of how he could hold an audience. When Never Tear Us Apart was on, my 16 year old son said that he looked like Morrison in his mannerisms; I could see it at the moment during the song.

Michael was great but those other guys were great musicians in their own right.

I agree completely with this, and early inxs is by far my favorite. However Kick is a fricking masterfully crafted pop album. And still holds up incredibly well imo

I saw that tour in Columbia, SC in high school and good lord girls/women near every age in that crowd were practically fainting over hutchence

It's looks absolutely loaded. I wish I liked that type of music.

I was in college back in these days. I had Shabooh Shoobah (1982) and The Swing (1984) on each side of an extended cassette tape.

I remember driving with the windows down, my stereo amp on, and my Jensen triaxials screaming.

Those were the days.

Most definitely.

It always makes me a little sad when someone name drops Men at Work as the archetypal 80s Aussie band....

Yeah, I missed the prime new wave stuff. But, still a great pop band. Kick is one of the GOATs and X was very good. Who among us wasn't getting down to Never Tear Us Apart with their GFs?

This band was underrated and has been mostly forgotten, but they were really good.
