INXS / GREATEST HITS COMPILATION (1994)
INXS was an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1977. Originally known as The Farriss Brothers, they changed their name to INXS in 1979. The band gained international fame in the 1980s and 1990s with a mix of rock, funk, and new wave influences. Their breakthrough came with the release of Kick (1987), which featured hit singles like "Need You Tonight" and "New Sensation." INXS was known for their charismatic frontmen, particularly Michael Hutchence, whose dynamic stage presence and distinctive voice became synonymous with the band's identity. The band achieved widespread success throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with albums like Listen Like Thieves (1985) and X (1990), before Hutchence's tragic death in 1997. Despite this, INXS continued to perform and release music with new lead singers, including an international search in 2005 for a new frontman through the reality TV series Rock Star: INXS. The band is regarded as one of Australia's most successful and influential rock bands, with over 30 million albums sold worldwide.
