Good. They have a lot of great songs. This one is merely good.
It's better when it rolls right into Mediate.

It's not this video from INXS, but another one of their hits... they filmed at a local beachfront amusement park and the rumor was that the "hot daughter of one of my high school teachers" was in the video. That's about all I have to say about INXS other than... "meh, they were OK".

It's an all-timer for me due to it being a favorite of mine in my formative years as a music fan, but if I can be fair, it probably ranges from good to very good for most. I split the balance and voted for GREAT here.

All timer but Don't Change is their peak.

Most of their popular stuff from the 80's (and a couple from early 90's) is still really listenable to today. They have the benefit of not being overplayed.
All pretty good to great...

INXS Kick was one of those albums that I played on cassette so much that the tape stretched and played at about 0.8 normal speed. Must have been on repeat in my car for a couple years.

I helped run one of the first Love Rides in Los Angeles. A charity motorcycle ride for muscular dystrophy. It was 87 I think. Jay Leno had taken over as the grand Marshall. It had gotten pretty big. INXS was the headline music group.
The ride ended in the colosseum movie set from Ben hur etc on the universal lot, as hundreds of Harley’s rolled into the arena, one of which burst into flames, INXS played never tear us apart. The sax player was placed on a tiny little alcove high on the colosseum wall. He had to wear a safety harness it was so sketchy. When the sax solo came, all the lights went out, the Harley is still burning, super tight spotlight to the sax guy! It was an amazing moment. Just the sax guy and the burning Harley. And that awesome saxophone solo. Surreal really. I’ll never forget it.
The bikers got the fire out before the song ended.

Enjoy the son, but I am partial to anything from Listen Like Thieves

This
Good list, I'd add:
Suicide Blonde
Taste It
Heaven Sent
Elegantly Wasted
A shame about Michael Hutchence' suicide, Elegantly Wasted was a good album IMO and IIRC correctly they were still in the middle of touring for it when he died. They were a great band but just nowhere near the same without him. I'd contend because of his death nearly 30 years ago they aren't as well known or remembered as they should be these days, that's a lot of good to great songs on that list over a 15~20 year period.

This. Kick gets all the mentions, but Listen Like Thieves and Shabooh Shoobah are better albums.
Leroy Hoard
Footballguy
Original Sin I would also add.

One of the best riffs ever. Great song.

They were OK. At their best, a poor mans Depeche Mode. Also, stay away from auto- asphyxiation kids.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
Depeche Mode? C'mon man.
Edit: Okay. After comparing album sales and chart success it's closer than I thought.
And that other part was just a rumor later proven untrue.

Depressed mode? Not the same music at all.
Brunell4MVP
Footballguy
Ranking all-time album sales, Depeche Mode is #54 and INXS is #154. So it's not really close.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
I'm surprised by that. You got me there.
However...INXS has sold more records in America than Depeche Mode. According to multiple sources, INXS's sales in the United States stand at approximately 15 million albums, while Depeche Mode's U.S. sales are about 10.8 million records.
Anyway, I like DM too.

Kids praticing auto-asphyxiation?????
Who says punctuation doesn't matter?
Correct, this was debunked a long time ago and basically the press and British tabloids fueled this nasty rumor. There's a good documentary on him I watched a while back that explored this in depth. Without getting into the downer details, let's just say it's a pretty sad story.

I always thought they were a supply-driven band rather than one where demand clamored for them, but it’s really just not my type of music, I guess.
I remember some tracks. I did not know the auto-erotic thing was bunk. That’s a shame.

The song is an ALL-TIME banger but in my mind at time I posted this I was also referencing the technology of the video (in addition to the song). I get it, it's simple/retro, but this is petty much the pinnacle, no?
This is from 1987! Have we really ever surpassed this video technologically?

really enjoyed their catalog after listening to them a lot more about 10 years ago.
Such great hits
This song tough...In my mix CD days...
I had Sarah McLaughlin - Sweet Surrender right after Need you tonight.
So whenever I hear "Need you tonight" and the last verse...."You're one of my kind" hits...im expecting the intro to hear Sarah's voice

Underrated Sarah song. Love the repeating guitar reverb and the backing vocals, there's a lot going on underneath the surface on that song.
