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...

From a thread a few weeks ago:
Along with Squeeze, probably my favorite from that era.

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.

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?

"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.

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.
