Should INXS be considered a guilty pleasure?

No. They are a great band. Listen Like Thieves is a great album and Kick had more hits than I thought possible.

Don't Change

The Swing and Listen Like Thieves were great albums. Kick was too but became a little played out. The rest were definitely listenable.

I always liked the cover they did of this song (w/Jimmy Barnes) on the Lost Boys Soundtrack...

Good Times

From a thread a few weeks ago:

quote:

re: Biggest pleasant surprise in a concert experience
(Posted on 9/12/12 at 2:01 p.m. to redneck hippie) quote: INXS - that's right. pop 80s band. We went to see GNR open up for them, around 1988 or 89. I was a freshman in HS. They killed it. really great live band.


response: I saw them three times in the 80's/early 90's. They were better than just an 80's pop band. TIGHT musically, driving rock beats. Great under-rated band, at least until Michael Hutchence died.


Along with Squeeze, probably my favorite from that era.

They are two totally different bands to me. The early vs. the late. Hate the late. If I liked the songs you listed, I would list them as guilty pleasures. They are cheesy as all hell.

Great song!

Hutch was a kick arse lead singer - a definite Jagger clone

Early definitely the best, and no, I'm not calling them a sellout just cause they got bigger later (a la so-called Green Day "fans"! )

I wore the grooves off the album and the sound off the tapes in my car of the "Shabooh Shoobah" and "The Swing" back in the mid-80's.

"Don't Change", "Original Sin", "The One Thing", "I Send a Message". Great stuff.

My favorite INXS tune. I had Shaboo Shabah constantly playing in the tape deck in my car in the early 80s. The tape eventually broke.

Why the hell can't I find the original video (in the airplane hangar) anymore?

You mean this one?

"Don't Change" in an airplane hangar.

I was in that camp, too, but revisited their later work recently.

Full Moon, Dirty Hearts is better than I originally thought when it came out... not too bad. Not as good as the old stuff, but isn't as awful as I remember it.

Thanks. I don't do Myspace.

I wonder why youtube doesn't show it? It will pop up once in a while and then disappear again

I have been listening to them for the last 40 minutes and then I see this. WOW!

No, they are awesome. Michael was terrific. They had a wonderful sound that was beyond Wang Chung or Duran Duran. They were great.

Shaboo...Listen Like Thieves...Kick...awesome.
