 Greatest Hits by INXS CD
A straight-up singles collection, plus two acceptable new tracks, GREATEST HITS may be all the INXS the casual fan requires.
The late singer Michael Hutchence was a born rock star, and all born rock stars know that singles are what really matter.
Starting with their first (and best) US/UK single, "The One Thing," and continuing through to 1993's "Beautiful Girl," GREATEST HITS skips through most of the band's highest points, including the Nile Rodgers collaboration "The Original Sin," the commercial breakthrough "What You Need," and of course four of the five hit singles from 1987's multi-platinum KICK.
