I read a review somewhere that compared INXS to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Not that far off, really. Both bands had consistent lineups (INXS had no personnel changes from 1977 through 1997). Both made consistently pleasing albums with plenty of hits that the critics shrugged off as unimportant. And both bands had very strong fan bases. INXS rose out of Australia in 1980 and made album after album, hit after hit, staying almost completely under the radar of those looking for the best bands of their time. But, years after the end of INXS and the suicide of lead singer Michael Hutchense, their music still stands strong. The Greatest Hits is almost a complete overview of their career: it ignores the first three albums, and came out before their last effort, Elegantly Wasted. It does cover their most fruitful period, when they were darlings of MTV and when you couldn’t listen to the radio for half an hour without hearing a song by INXS.
Their best period was from Listen Like Thieves (1985) through X (1990), with their biggest seller Kick in the middle. These albums are well represented here, and the compilation was issued with different track lists depending on what songs were big in what country. This, the American version, is a nice set of great singles without the filler of their studio albums. Things get a little weak towards the end, but the first eleven tracks, in particular, are as good a hits compilation as you could hope for from this band. It’s good to have “Suicide Blonde”, “The One Thing”, and “New Sensation” on one disc. They went on, even doing a reality show in 2005 to find a lead singer. But since the death of Hutchense in 1997, they released only one album of new material before calling it a day in 2012. But INXS was, particularly from 1985-90, one of the biggest bands on the planet. This is a good collection to re-live that experience. [First added to this chart: 09/09/2013]

You seem to be a big Tom Petty fan. Nothing wrong with that, he's one of the great.
