I love love love INXS! This song is a banger! I was devastated when Michael committed suicide. He was such a charismatic singer. He’s still missed. This is my absolute favorite song by them. Thank you for this!
That's not completely actuate. Yes; Michael died from asphyxiation, but his death was considered an accident. Some people enjoy being choked; while engaging in sexual activities. So Michael didn't mean to kill himself; he just got a little too worked up, and died as a result. I don't know if it's talked about much nowadays, but there was a report about it, shortly after when the police came back with their full investigation.
@@TheRatsCast It’s been so long since it happened and my mind isn’t as sharp as it used to be. I remember now there was an auto erotic asphyxiation component to the situation. Just a complete tragedy all around.
The Kick album was a pop song monster but Shabooh Shoobah and this song especially was what got me really into INXS. What a great record Don't Change is. The One Thing is my fave.
Way back then, I recorded on a cassette tape, a radio show that was the current top 10 in the UK. This song was on it. I edited out all of the talk, so I didn't know the name of the band. The One Thing was getting played on the local station, but I didn't know it was the same band. A few years later, MTV started showing the What You Need video from the Listen Like Thieves album. I was really shocked to learn this was all INXS. I've been a fan ever since.
For those of us who grew up in the 70's and 80's, this song brings back a lot of wonderful memories. It's tragic that the lead singer committed suicide in 1997. He had a beautiful voice.
where the hell did you get your b.s info from ? his death was ruled an accident ,,,,police ,Coroner all ruled his death was an accident well performing auto eroticer act on himself .
Add me to the growing list of people saying this is their fav. song from INXS! It's energy is amazing and every time I hear it I feel that teenage me still jammin' like I did when it first hit the radio. So in that, not changing. Yeah, life changes, but spirit stays strong!
This is my favorite song by them and it’s probably due to the video. I love seeing them as young and hungry guys giving it 100% when they had like no budget to make a music video. This is how I like to remember Michael Hutchence - this young skinny version of the icon he was to become. I literally cried when he died. And I’m a straight dude! Just was always a fan since they first showed up on MTV.
Watch the 1983 film "Reckless" with Daryl Hannah, Aiden Quinn, Adam Baldwin, and a young Jennifer Grey in a bit part. INXS songs shape that movie! Also has "Never Say Never" by Romeo Void in a wicked dance scene! 😂
One of my favourites, too. The video was shot in a hangar at Adelaide Airport, it was meant to be filmed on the runway but the weather was no good. The director was Scott Hicks who went on to direct the movie Shine for which he received best director and original screenplay nominations in 1996, and Geoffrey Rush won the best actor Oscar.
These guys were huge in the 80s and early 90s. Had their singer not died, and they continued making new music, I believe we'd be talking about them in the same context as U2 and Bruce Springsteen.
You are sooooo missed, Michael!! Rest In Peace... Your music will live on forever!!! Thank you INXS for your magic!!! I've been listening for 35+ years!!! ❤❤❤
This is early INXS (1982) and I love it! Michael and the boys look so young! I love the new wave sound! Check out their hit “Original Sin”! It’s a banger!❤❤
This was from 1983 on either their first (or one of the first) album. In 1987, they did (with Jimmy Barnes) a great cover of the song "Good Times" as part of the soundtrack album for "The Lost Boys." It's well worth a reaction, especially since Jay will feel compelled to play air piano.😂
@@brianelza9807 I agree. I've requested these tracks from "Shabooh Shabaah" along with "To Look At You." I recommend if you happened heard of it that you watch "Reckless". That film stars Daryl Hannah and Aiden Quin. It features many songs from this album! A must watch for 80's and INXS fans!
Amber's comment about hearing what they were feeling and writing about back then captures the essence of what art attempts to do. It captures a moment or a feeling in its own particular way and lets us revisit and remember it as we age and change. Maybe that's why Amber likes 70's music so much. They were so great at capturing moments simply and emotionally.
This whole album is, as the kids today say, FIRE! I think it's their best work...which is saying something with what was yet to come! Such a talented band!
That's why I like this. Once at university, all of these different bands were coming out sounding similarly. I was ridiculed because of it, but it was fact. Being a musician whole those mocking weren't,I demonstrated as such. Anyway, having their debut and "Beneath The Colours" I knew this was their break. Especially after "The Once Thing" was released and seeing them at.the US Festival! Great show!
This was off INXS's breakout album, Shabooh Shoobah. It was the follow up to their first charted single in the US, "The One Thing", which is DEFINITELY worth a listen. Some of their other early stuff includes "I Send a Message", "Original Sin" and "Listen Like Thieves".
One of the quintessential '80s Rock/New Wave songs of all time! When I discovered INXS, after this album came out -- Shabooh Shoobah (1982) -- I officially became an 80's-kid! I will never forget that day: I walked into a Record Shop (CDs were only just coming out at that time), across the street from the Restaurant I was working at (I had just turned 19), and I heard the song "The One Thing" by INXS playing over the system. I instantly loved it; it just caught me as unique and cool! I literally bought the CD right away. It was one of the first CDs I owned -- before that, I only had tapes and records -- and started my New Wave journey that day! I had been into The Police and U2 a bit, before that, but they grew out of the Punk movement, of the late 70's. INXS was my first investment in New Wave. That was about the same time as Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science" coming out. That was another huge tune and artist that I got into in 1982. Rush, my favorite band at that point, was already pointing me towards the new 80s sounds, with their album "Signals", which came out earlier that year. Also, their song "Vital Signs", from 1981, was another harbinger of the new music I would be discovering in those days and years. That was the best time!
Oh yay! I'm pretty sure this was on my recommendation list! I love this song so much❤❤❤❤❤❤This song is amazing!! Falling down the mountain, kiss the dirt is another amazing song.
I was 12 when this song and video released in the U.S. I was sitting in living room of a Viet friend's apartment in 6th grade, eating noodles and spring rolls and watching Mtv because he had cable. I had never heard anything like it. They were one of my favorite bands in high school. I saw them in April 1994, it was incredible. On my 27th birthday I got to work, had a voice mail on my pager and checked it. My ex-girlfriend had called to say that she was back in town, thanked me for having moved out and told me she needed her Corvette back. She asked me to leave it in a parking lot a couple of blocks from my job. My boss offered to follow me there and drive me back but I said I would walk and thanked him. I got in the car, cranked it, and the DJ was overwhelmed with sadness. Michael Hutchence had taken his own life. He played this song, I drove to parking lot crying and screamed: "what the fuck!" as loud as I could. I left the keys in the glovebox as she asked. I got a message from her crying a few hours later: "I just realized it's your birthday. I'm such a bitch. I'm sorry. And I'm sorry about MATTHEW Hutchence". When anyone would ask me if it was tough losing her, I would just say: "I'm ok" and remember that she sucked.
A foreign exchange student from Australia lived with my family close to 1 year. We kept in touch and I went to visit him and his wife in late 1987. INXS was the biggest thing going at the time. He went to high school with a few of the band members. He was amazed at their success at the time. I always remember that besides INXS, the other two bands/artists that had multiple songs played it seemed every hour on the radio were Chris Rea and the Bee Gees. I recommend you take a dive into Chris Rea. You played his huge Christmas hit last December. You'll love his soulful voice. Start with 'I'm Still Loving You', 'Windy Town' or 'Fool if You Think It's Over'.
This was probably the first INXS song I ever heard, and I fell in love with it. Such a great song! Have you guys done “Mystify” yet? That’s a great song from them as well
This whole album is great. Definitely one of my favorite INXS songs. You should react to 'The One Thing', the song that really kick started their popularity.
I miss INXS so much. I often wonder how much bigger they would have gotten had Michael not died. Luckily, I got to see them in concert a couple of times. Once I went to the theater early with an album in hand and when they drove up I got it autographed.
Love INXS -a great Aussie band and these early songs were fantastic. It’s fun watching all of them but especially Michael who hadn’t worked out his moves. Kiss The Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain) is another one of my favourites.
This is literally my FAVORITE song by them! Y’all now need to react to my 2nd fav song by them, “Disappear.” It’s early ‘90s INXS, and I think you’re going to LOOOVE it!!!
I feel so lucky growing up listening to bands like this. I really think you guys would absolutely love the somg Good Times with INXS and another Aussie treasure the great Jimmy Barnes. You won't be disappointed, it was on The Lost Boys soundtrack
Ah, early INXS. They were considered more indie at that point, and the sound is definitely early 80s. The band dynamics and Michael's vocal presence were there from the start.
Hi guys from Oz🇦🇺😊. If you love INXS, check out another Aussie band that pushed out some absolute classics - Dragon. Songs like Rain, April Sun in Cuba, and Young Years will knock your socks off! Love your reactions, they always make me smile
Their story is incredible. You should watch one of the many documentaries. They didn't know they were filming a video for this song until 10 minutes before the shoot. They were very much taken advantage of. R.I.P MH.
I would also recommend the 1983 film "Reckless." "Shabooh Shabaah" is featured and helps shape the film! It stars Daryl Hannah, Adam Baldwin, Aiden Quinn, and a young Jennifer Grey in a bit part.
Great Aussie band. I've saw them a few times and gosh, Michael had so much charisma and stage presence that you couldn't help fall in love with him. RIP MH. 🇦🇺
“Suicide Blonde” is a great song. The live version from Wembley Stadium in London really rocks. Incidentally, a suicide blonde is someone who colors their own hair, they “dye by their own hand”, if you will.
In one of the reactions, Amber said that INXS is now her favorite band along with Pink Floyd. It is time for you to experience more live performances because you will fall in love with all of the band members - and they will rise to the top! They were one of the best live bands ever. You have to do something from Wembley-either Suicide Blonde or Original Sin or truly anything from that concert. 74,000 were at that concert so the energy is surreal. Then if you can do this, please check out Bitter Tears from Saturday Night Live. Even Jay will have a Man Crush. Next, Good Times with Jimmy Barnes. The video is great. Then we will have to do some later songs. But start here. Thanks for all you do!
INXS is still one of my favorite bands from the 80s! This song really was there big introduction in the states great song! RIP Michael! Your still missed.
This is my favorite INXS. This song takes me back to Friday/Saturday nights in the 80s. This song was popular with bar bands back then. I like this one followed by The One Thing. That should be the next INXS
This was the first INXS I ever heard, way back in 1983 when it was released. It still might be my favorite song of theirs. Underappreciated band these days, I think.
This was a constant in my twenties and I loved INXS and their unique but rocking style, ever since the first song of theirs I heard "The One Thing" (awesome!) I think you should also listen to "Original Sin" which was a huge hit in Australia. Re: Michael Hutchence - I had a friend who said he went to a party at a mate's place where M.H. was there and stayed the night. There was one guy who kept fawning over him, since the band had just started making it big and in the morning he fussed over the breakfast and asked M.H. if toast was ok and he said yes. Then the guy asked how he liked it and M.H. said calmly, "Toasted." ❣
So true! The whole concert was so EPIC! It's a crime, that anytime somebody's doing a list of "best live performances ever" they never add Live baby live. I'm like - if you don't add this one, then you don't have list of the best performances ever... Their energy, they've enjoyed it, you can see, how they're extremely happy and all the emotions in their faces, the passion, the responding from crowd, every minute of the concert is damn perfection. Every song sounds better on this show (not only this, others too) then from vinyl records. Man... I wish I could've seen it on my own.
@@JesieW Nice comment. Sorry you didn't see them. I was able to see them twice and it was just fantastic! I did also see one of the last shows in the US before .... You would never detect there were any problems, Michael was so good and he came out in a three piece suit and slowly stripped off the suit. He a tee under the layers but it was very smooth and sensual removal, ending with the words, " Are you comfortable in your skin? When does the strip begin?" from Building Bridges
@@trexpixx4590 I'm not gonna lie... I'm so jealous! But I'm also so happy for you! Such an amazing experiences and memories that will never die and that you will always tresure as gold ❤️. Thank you for sharing this! I never saw them, but I found my way to always pay tribute to Hutchence, So everytime I'm in our capital city, I go to Charles Bridge and other places and I listen to their songs. Always. At least something I can do :).
Early INXS was the best imo. This track, Dancing on the Jetty, Just keep Walking, What You Need, Stay Young, Original Sin, To Look at You, This Time etc. All FANTASTIC tracks.
Their KICK tour was my first 'solo' concert (without parents or friends' parents). They were amazing. About a decade later, I took my hubby to see them on some tour in '97 - again, great show. We were so shocked at his passing! An iconic voice/sound. RIP MH
INXS's best song and arguably one of the best songs by any Aussie band. It's timeless and still sounds as wonderful as it did back in the 80s. The last 30 seconds is one of the best endings to any song. Spine tingling good!
INXS is one of my favorite bands. Amazing band and this song was one of their earliest videos/songs off of their Shaboo Shoobah album in 1982. A song that is about change and the conflict in us to want change but not wanting it to. As Andrew Farris called it, "Defiant". Fantastic song. Some songs to check out next - " Beautiful Girl", "Calling All Nations", "Original Sin", "Good Times (duet with Jimmy Barnes for the Lost Boys movie), "Heaven Sent", "Need You Tonight/Mediate", "Suicide Blonde"
The band was playing on my college campus back in the day. Had a test that night and couldn’t go but the venue was directly behind my class. During the break, I went outside and you could hear the music. This was one of the songs I heard.
THANK YOU for doing this! (I was among those who requested it!) The whole song (AND video) are just so full of youthful passion and yearning--it's poignant and exhilarating at the same time and it always makes me feel both happy and like I want to cry.
This was the song that got me into INXS, Great melodic riff that I can't get enough of~ "Execution of bitterness, things have been dark for too long...."
I love all ten of their studio albums (with Michael Hutchence) and I can listen to them from the first track to the last But from Shabooh Shoobah (1982) to Welcome to Wherever You Are (1992) all those albums are incredible with so many hits on each But my favourite INXS song is from their second album Underneath the Colours (1981) the song is called Stay Young
When I was in high school a new amphitheater opened close to my house. It didn’t have a sound ordinance for quite a while. I climbed out my window and sat on the roof listening to the INXS concert. Still sticks in my head.
They closed all of their concerts out with this song. It’s really one of their best.
Yeah, it was the closer on their Kick Tour. It's the reason it's in my top five of favorite INXS songs!
So many great tracks!! This was one of my fav as a kid when I was learning to play drums!!
It’s their best song easily. It’s probably the best song in Australian history. It’s brilliant and perfect.
I've seen INXS 13 times staring in 1983 and they certainly did close every show with Don't Change
I love love love INXS! This song is a banger! I was devastated when Michael committed suicide. He was such a charismatic singer. He’s still missed. This is my absolute favorite song by them. Thank you for this!
Thank you Kelli for writing my comment for me LOL ❤
@@nickier3248 Great minds think alike!✌️
That's not completely actuate. Yes; Michael died from asphyxiation, but his death was considered an accident. Some people enjoy being choked; while engaging in sexual activities. So Michael didn't mean to kill himself; he just got a little too worked up, and died as a result. I don't know if it's talked about much nowadays, but there was a report about it, shortly after when the police came back with their full investigation.
Mine as well one of my fall time favorite songs period and yes michael is sorely missed
@@TheRatsCast It’s been so long since it happened and my mind isn’t as sharp as it used to be. I remember now there was an auto erotic asphyxiation component to the situation. Just a complete tragedy all around.
I’m now 54 and I’ve loved INXS since I was 15, this is still my favourite INXS track. It was always the last song they played at concerts.
Me too 👍

Perfect last song with that keyboard intro. Place just lights up when they hit that first note.
The Kick album was a pop song monster but Shabooh Shoobah and this song especially was what got me really into INXS. What a great record Don't Change is. The One Thing is my fave.
"The One Thing" is excellent! 👍
Two of their best songs. I really like the Listen Like Thieves album too.
🙋 same. Shabooh Shabah is awesome.

Same! 🔥
Thats my favorite stage of INXS. No wardrobe, such a beautiful sound. Raw and honest. OMG RIP Michael...
That song will still be a banger in 100 years .. timeless rock n roll INXS
Rocking Royals, the best version of this timeless song
Great Aussie band. Saw them in 1985. MH was a heck of a frontman. RIP Michael. The One Thing is a must.
"The One Thing" is my favorite of all their songs ❤
I saw them in Melbourne in 1985. That was an awesome concert.
Yes, this is a young INXS. Great Aussie band. RIP Michael. x
For those of us who grew up in the 70's and 80's, this song brings back a lot of wonderful memories. It's tragic that the lead singer committed suicide in 1997. He had a beautiful voice.
He didn't commit suicide...he suffocated choking himself during sex to enhance pleasure
where the hell did you get your b.s info from ? his death was ruled an accident ,,,,police ,Coroner all ruled his death was an accident well performing auto eroticer act on himself .
This is my favorite INXS song because of the raw energy it has.
Add me to the growing list of people saying this is their fav. song from INXS! It's energy is amazing and every time I hear it I feel that teenage me still jammin' like I did when it first hit the radio. So in that, not changing. Yeah, life changes, but spirit stays strong!

First song I ever heard from INXS. Loved the song, loved the video, and loved everything they did that came after. Just a brilliant band.
me too, first song, fell in love with their sound.
Excellent choice! One of my favorite INXS songs and Shabooh Shoobah is a great album.
My favorite INXS song! Brimming with positivity and passion. Life was on an upswing for me when this came out.
YAY! This is one of my (many) favorite INXS songs! Original Sin (from 1984) is another great song.
I've been requesting songs from this for months. Shabooh Shoobah, The Swing, and Listen Like Thieves are essential INX!
Baby INXS were fantastic, still finding their sound, this song was a glimpse into there future sound.
Absolutely Love this Song. So underrated
One of their best. 🏆🎶
💯
These guys were huge in the 80s and early 90s. Had their singer not died, and they continued making new music, I believe we'd be talking about them in the same context as U2 and Bruce Springsteen.
You are sooooo missed, Michael!! Rest In Peace... Your music will live on forever!!! Thank you INXS for your magic!!! I've been listening for 35+ years!!! ❤❤❤
This is early INXS (1982) and I love it! Michael and the boys look so young! I love the new wave sound! Check out their hit “Original Sin”! It’s a banger!❤❤
The entire album The Swing is incredible!!
Yeah Michael was only 22
@@tracithomas6543 My fave!
THIS is, imho, the quintessential INXS jam! My favorite since the very beginning. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Never Tear Us Apart is my favorite of theirs, along with I Need You Tonight. RIP Michael Hutchence
This was from 1983 on either their first (or one of the first) album. In 1987, they did (with Jimmy Barnes) a great cover of the song "Good Times" as part of the soundtrack album for "The Lost Boys." It's well worth a reaction, especially since Jay will feel compelled to play air piano.😂
Third studio album, but first released internationally. Still earlier than anything I knew by them.
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "The One Thing" and "Suicide Blonde"!!
Yesss. Suicide Blonde live at Wembley. Michael....incredible live.
Definitely “One Thing”

Finally!! This is my all time favorite INXS song. To me it’s one that epitomizes 80’s pop music perfectly.
Wow so cool! Can't believe you guys reacted to this stunner. The ultimate nostalgia song! Definitely recommend "Burn For You" as next early INXS song.
This song and One Thing are their best. I absolutely loved INXS (and still do) in high school
I was never a big INXS fan, but I love this song. Definitely their best song.

One of my all time favorite songs. Totally brings me back to the early 80s. That keyboard riff. Another banger from the same album is "The One Thing"
One of my favorites that got them recognized. Not one bad song from them. A definite Banger 😊
I was obsessed with Inxs and I was surprised to see my mom loved them too!!! The last song my mom wanted me to play before she passed was Mystified
I miss INXS so much. I often wonder how much bigger they would have gotten had Michael not died. Luckily, I got to see them in concert a couple of times. Once I went to the theater early with an album in hand and when they drove up I got it autographed.

Nothing instantly transports me back in time quite like the opening synth line to this song.
This whole album is worth a listen
I agree!
Yay!!! My absolute favorite INXS song!!!! Thank you 😘!!!!
I feel so lucky growing up listening to bands like this. I really think you guys would absolutely love the somg Good Times with INXS and another Aussie treasure the great Jimmy Barnes. You won't be disappointed, it was on The Lost Boys soundtrack
Suicide Blonde
live from Wembley Stadium is an absolute must!
INXS kicks it up a gear.❤
Ah, early INXS. They were considered more indie at that point, and the sound is definitely early 80s. The band dynamics and Michael's vocal presence were there from the start.
OG INXS
Hi guys from Oz🇦🇺😊. If you love INXS, check out another Aussie band that pushed out some absolute classics - Dragon. Songs like Rain, April Sun in Cuba, and Young Years will knock your socks off! Love your reactions, they always make me smile
Excellent! Thanks!
My favourite Dragon songs are, This Time and Get that Jive
Their story is incredible. You should watch one of the many documentaries. They didn't know they were filming a video for this song until 10 minutes before the shoot. They were very much taken advantage of. R.I.P MH.
I would also recommend the 1983 film "Reckless." "Shabooh Shabaah" is featured and helps shape the film! It stars Daryl Hannah, Adam Baldwin, Aiden Quinn, and a young Jennifer Grey in a bit part.
This song has always been one of my favorites!! Great choice, keep it up!
Thank you for reacting to our great Aussie music. This band were so awesome live. ❤
Great Aussie band. I've saw them a few times and gosh, Michael had so much charisma and stage presence that you couldn't help fall in love with him. RIP MH. 🇦🇺
“Suicide Blonde” is a great song. The live version from Wembley Stadium in London really rocks. Incidentally, a suicide blonde is someone who colors their own hair, they “dye by their own hand”, if you will.
In one of the reactions, Amber said that INXS is now her favorite band along with Pink Floyd. It is time for you to experience more live performances because you will fall in love with all of the band members - and they will rise to the top! They were one of the best live bands ever.
You have to do something from Wembley-either Suicide Blonde or Original Sin or truly anything from that concert. 74,000 were at that concert so the energy is surreal.
Then if you can do this, please check out Bitter Tears from Saturday Night Live. Even Jay will have a Man Crush.
Next, Good Times with Jimmy Barnes. The video is great.
Then we will have to do some later songs. But start here.
Thanks for all you do!
INXS is still one of my favorite bands from the 80s! This song really was there big introduction in the states great song! RIP Michael! Your still missed.
Thank you! This is one of my FAVORITE INXS songs. This song was the reason I became a drummer. ❤️
This is my favorite INXS. This song takes me back to Friday/Saturday nights in the 80s. This song was popular with bar bands back then. I like this one followed by The One Thing. That should be the next INXS
This was the first INXS I ever heard, way back in 1983 when it was released. It still might be my favorite song of theirs. Underappreciated band these days, I think.
This was a constant in my twenties and I loved INXS and their unique but rocking style, ever since the first song of theirs I heard "The One Thing" (awesome!) I think you should also listen to "Original Sin" which was a huge hit in Australia. Re: Michael Hutchence - I had a friend who said he went to a party at a mate's place where M.H. was there and stayed the night. There was one guy who kept fawning over him, since the band had just started making it big and in the morning he fussed over the breakfast and asked M.H. if toast was ok and he said yes. Then the guy asked how he liked it and M.H. said calmly, "Toasted." ❣
Suicide Blonde live in Wembley 1991. INXS does not have a "bad song", so to speak. It is the one group that you don't have to skip anything.
So true! The whole concert was so EPIC! It's a crime, that anytime somebody's doing a list of "best live performances ever" they never add Live baby live. I'm like - if you don't add this one, then you don't have list of the best performances ever...
Their energy, they've enjoyed it, you can see, how they're extremely happy and all the emotions in their faces, the passion, the responding from crowd, every minute of the concert is damn perfection. Every song sounds better on this show (not only this, others too) then from vinyl records.
Man... I wish I could've seen it on my own.
@@JesieW Nice comment. Sorry you didn't see them. I was able to see them twice and it was just fantastic! I did also see one of the last shows in the US before .... You would never detect there were any problems, Michael was so good and he came out in a three piece suit and slowly stripped off the suit. He a tee under the layers but it was very smooth and sensual removal, ending with the words, " Are you comfortable in your skin? When does the strip begin?" from Building Bridges
@@trexpixx4590 I'm not gonna lie... I'm so jealous! But I'm also so happy for you! Such an amazing experiences and memories that will never die and that you will always tresure as gold ❤️.
Thank you for sharing this!
I never saw them, but I found my way to always pay tribute to Hutchence, So everytime I'm in our capital city, I go to Charles Bridge and other places and I listen to their songs. Always. At least something I can do :).
This is the OG INXS .. My favorite time period for them. They were young and hungry and creating!
This song rocks! Iconic. Classic. Timeless.
Shine Like It Does…🔥❤️
I saw INXS in the late 80's. Michael was very animated. Good performers!
Don't Change is one of the greatest songs from the 80's. She Sheila by The Producers is another one of the greatest 80's songs!
Miss you Michael! RIP.
Love INXS, so many great songs❤❤❤
Early INXS was the best imo. This track, Dancing on the Jetty, Just keep Walking, What You Need, Stay Young, Original Sin, To Look at You, This Time etc. All FANTASTIC tracks.
80s New Wave at its finest. There's just something about a simple half step walkdown...
Their KICK tour was my first 'solo' concert (without parents or friends' parents). They were amazing. About a decade later, I took my hubby to see them on some tour in '97 - again, great show. We were so shocked at his passing! An iconic voice/sound. RIP MH
In the mid 90s when I joined the Navy I was singing this song all the time. It's my favorite INXS song.
INXS's best song and arguably one of the best songs by any Aussie band. It's timeless and still sounds as wonderful as it did back in the 80s. The last 30 seconds is one of the best endings to any song. Spine tingling good!
So happy you played this song!!!🌞💗🌞💗🐦👏👏 I always enjoy seeing This video of Michael! Love you both, with your Happy, be kind vibe
My favorite INXS tune. Always has an emotional effect on me. It has a real feel of exhilaration.
INXS is one of my favorite bands. Amazing band and this song was one of their earliest videos/songs off of their Shaboo Shoobah album in 1982. A song that is about change and the conflict in us to want change but not wanting it to. As Andrew Farris called it, "Defiant". Fantastic song.
Some songs to check out next - " Beautiful Girl", "Calling All Nations", "Original Sin", "Good Times (duet with Jimmy Barnes for the Lost Boys movie), "Heaven Sent", "Need You Tonight/Mediate", "Suicide Blonde"
Early Inxs. 🎉 new wave. Loved their videos and songs when I was little. 1980s
THANK YOU!! This and "The One Thing" are my favorite INXS songs
This is my favorite INXS song. Not as popular as some of their others but a gem in my opinion.
The band was playing on my college campus back in the day. Had a test that night and couldn’t go but the venue was directly behind my class. During the break, I went outside and you could hear the music. This was one of the songs I heard.
THANK YOU for doing this! (I was among those who requested it!) The whole song (AND video) are just so full of youthful passion and yearning--it's poignant and exhilarating at the same time and it always makes me feel both happy and like I want to cry.
This is my favorite INXS song and music video!!!
My favorite inxs song
Literally just got chills. I love this band. RIP Michael.
INXS is a band that always puts a smile on my face.
This was the song that got me into INXS, Great melodic riff that I can't get enough of~ "Execution of bitterness, things have been dark for too long...."
Never heard this song before and I found it great and I'm happy to hear a new pure 80's song.
Regards from Chile!!
I love all ten of their studio albums (with Michael Hutchence) and I can listen to them from the first track to the last
But from Shabooh Shoobah (1982) to Welcome to Wherever You Are (1992) all those albums are incredible with so many hits on each
But my favourite INXS song is from their second album Underneath the Colours (1981) the song is called Stay Young
This was one of the first songs my band learned how to play. Great bassline
FOO Fighters!!!!
Love this song and love INXS. Seeing a band in their youth, HUNGRY and giving their all, is a super special thing.
When I was in high school a new amphitheater opened close to my house. It didn’t have a sound ordinance for quite a while. I climbed out my window and sat on the roof listening to the INXS concert. Still sticks in my head.
INXS "THE ONE THING" is my favvvvorite of all their songs. ❤️
