Product Description Beanie .co.uk In the wake of Michael Hutchence's tragic death, INXS's Greatest Hits seems sadly ironic in that it is, in part, a fitting eulogy and biography. No doubt about it, Hutchence gave the band its charisma, its sensuality, and also its funk appeal. So what if he couldn't dance? His phrasing and sense of timing were more than half of the rhythm behind "Need You Tonight," "What You Need," and "New Sensation." He even gave Mick Jagger a run for his money with "Devil Inside" and "Suicide Blonde." As a band, INXS were a finely honed machine, even from the beginning new-wave horns of "The One Thing" to the more orchestral "Never Tear Us Apart." The collection also contains two unreleased tracks, but, interestingly enough, the transcending and powerful "Don't Change" is nowhere to be found. --Steve Gdula

Only bought for two tracks
Yeah, only bought for two tracks not on any studio album (damn record companies) - strangest party & deliver me.I suppose greatest hits albums are generally aimed at people with an interest in the band (newbies) and I guess if UR new to INXS then this'll give you some of the most popular track they made. A good start to get into INXS, but if you like these tracks try the studio albums.The remix album isn't up to much, but didn't cost much extra anyways!

Inxs passed me by in the late 80's and mid 90's. But this CD of their greatest hits makes well and truly up for this as all their popular and well know songs are basically on this CD. Sadly like many other talented musicians Hutchence is sadly missed.

Greatest Hits
This greatest hits collection really does give you a selection of INXS' best music on one disc. You get all their well known tracks like `Mystify', 'Need You Tonight' and `Suicide Blonde', as well as some less known songs that are just as good. For me this is one of those ultimate feel good albums, I put it on and by the end I have a huge smile on my face and my spirits have been lifted. It's even better in summer, played loud as you're driving in your car! Michael Hutchence had distinctive vocals and INXS as a band had a distinctive sound and this album is a great place to go to hear both. Perfect for those new to INXS and a good source of all their best tracks in one place for existing fans. Well worth a buy.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
