INXS ROCKS As I have watched a VH1 series and the reality TV series on INXS, I found that I wanted to buy their greatest hits due to my CD of Kick having broken in half. Although I was seven or eight years old when INXS' album Kick had its video play on MTV, I thoroughly enjoy their music. It is ashame that the reformation of INXS did not take off like they expected it to because that new guy sounded so much like Michael Hutchinson, the former lead singer. It really would have been great to have some new music being developed by INXS! Also, I think that it is sad that Michael was so unhappy with his life that he committed suicide. Who knows how great INXS could have been in the new millenium!! .
For INXS fans
. This is a great collection of songs from one of the greatest 80's Rock bands.
Good INXS Compilation
The sound is great and it brings back so many memories, for me. This compilation pulls together all of INXS's best songs and is a very good one-disc collection. if you like 80's new wave, post punk and sleek, funky pop/rock you should love this. All fans of 80's pop need this in their collection.
INXS is A-OK
All of the songs are enjoyable. This is a great compilation of INXS's music. There is no temptation to hit the skip button, unless maybe it's to get to an even better song. Otherwise, just put the disc in the player and let it go. Hutence's vocals are great. It's too bad he died young. Well, the listener can still have this CD. Get it if you're any kind of 80s pop fan.
Dollars and (common) cents.
I never owned a thing by INXS my entire life. I'm going to rate this CD based on a $1 per song cost to total cost for the entire CD (Apple and Rhapsody charge $1 per song). But I know 14 great songs on this CD just from my exposure to radio and MTV (when they played music videos). The total cost of the CD on Amazon is $11 making it a truly worthwhile purchase. Songs: Need you tonight, What you need, New sensation, One thing, Disappear, Never tear us, Mystify, This time, Suicide Blonde, Beautiful girl, Devil Inside, Bitter tears, Not enough time, Tight.
It's ashame Micheal Hutchence is gone. Like Lennon, Hendrix and Morrison before him, who knows what music would be like today if they were still alive.
Hope this helps.
