    All the INxS albums are being re released by SOUNDS OF VINYL in the UK. Time to replace my well worn SHABOO SHABBA

    Kick was one of the 1st albums I ever owned. I was 7 when it came out. My older cousin liked U2 and them at the time so that's how I got into them. Didn't have any other INXS albums until that reality series was on the air when I listened to their earlier albums.

    Also, Don't Change is one of my top 10 songs of all time by anyone.

    One of my absolute favorite bands! Hutchence has one of the greatest voices of all time. Listen Like Thieves, Kick, and X is one hell of a trifecta of albums.

    Anybody remember a show on t.v. that David Navarro hosted,when the surviving members were looking and auditioning on t.v . for a new lead singer after Hutchence died? IMO there would never be any one that could even come close to filling those shoes.

    I can't really believe that they carried on after Hutchence died. I wonder why.

    ^^but was there really that much money in it without Hutchence? I mean, did people really want to see them without him? I know I would never.

    I think mainly because they didn't see INXS as only about Hutchence. They were all key to the songwriting process (some more than others), and I'd guess they struggled with it but I guess they felt like they'd all been part of INXS's success, so they didn't want to end it when they lost Michael.

    Me, I think the right thing to do would have been to go on under another name. Or like REM, never officially admit a new member as an official band member, have various drummers, etc. But I also can imagine it's hard, their whole identify for many years became "INXS", and they probably also had mixed feelings about how Michael died and why.

    I can't myself imagine going on, but I'll also never be in that situation (unless I sprout some unknown talent in the next few years and leave my family and start a band LOL!).

    I actually saw them with their first "official" singer (I think?) after Michael died, Jon Stevens. I got the ticket for free, so technically I didn't "pay" for it, but I was really curious, and I gotta say, they were still fantastic. And Stevens was smart, he didn't try to be Hutchence. He didn't try to put on an act. He just sang the songs with heart and had his own presence that was actually really good. Then when they turned down the lights and showed a film memorial montage of Michael to "Never Tear Us Apart" I was bawling. It was beautiful.

    But no, I still don't think it was sustainable, Michael was a one-of-a-kind frontman.

    Totally agree about Don't Change. Amazing beautiful song.

    Ok for us older members who are up there in age, any fans? Original INXS not that reality bullshit they did. That dude Michael hutchence had one hell of a voice. Band was pretty good, no?

    I am not UP THERE in age...and I WORSHIPPED Hutch...and I HATE the new singer....and think they should have just disbanded when he died...or at least formed a different band....It was all about Hutch, and I loved him, I mean WORSHIPPED him...I have a painting hanging in my house that I did of him in memory of him....I was a freshman in HS when he died and I swear to God a piece of me died too...I had been listening to INXS since I was little....

    They were selfish, and thought only of themselves....and the possibility of money and there was money in it even after he died...

    Michael was amazing.....I was in Junior High when Kick came out, and I remember how insanely cool the album was, and how bad I wanted it. This was my first non-Michael Jackson holy shit I have to get that album, album. Never tear us Apart is as good as it gets...whole album is great. They had a few hits after Kick, but never captured the mainstream love again after it.
