What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

INXS "kick" cd,1987.

maybe some of you are surprised to know that this is the only INXS studio album that i currently own....well,it is!
dont know what it is, but something puts me off these guys most of the time,thus, i either find their songs to be either crap or brilliant with very little inbetween...thus the unusually high number of "***" on this one.
pretty sure the guys were at the top of their game when this one hit the shop shelves, stadium shows all over the world,#1 hit albums almost everywhere and a constant barrage of hits in the singles charts in the US,UK nd here in Australia...six of the twelve tracks were singles here(2,3,4,5,8,9) five of which made the top 10 here,the exception being my favourite INXS track of all time "never tear us apart" which peaked at #11, their time at the top ended as quickly as their rise to the summit of rock n roll,then the untimely death of lead singer Michael Hutchence whilst performing a sexual act whilst high on alcohol and prescription drugs which went wrong ended their supposed comeback...RIP Mikey!
