- Even though it encompasses only one disc, BEST OF INXS is a fairly comprehensive, 21-track offering that hits on virtually all of the group's well known high points and visits some more obscure material as well. In light of singer Michael Hutchence's tragic suicide, it's tempting to look on the Australian band's oeuvre through a gray mist, but that would be to deny everything Hutchence, the Farriss brothers, and the rest of the INXS boys were about. As this disc shows, they were a high-energy party band with one foot in Stones-influenced rock (Hutchence's strutting stage presence gave Mick Jagger a run for his money) and frothy, new wave-flavored dance-pop. From the darkly majestic early hit "The One Thing" through the heartfelt romanticism of "This Time" and the pumping, danceable "Listen Like Thieves" and "Devil Inside" INXS placed entertainment value above all else. BEST OF INXS is an effective showcase for the canny popcraft of a band whose career was stalled too soon.

If you didnt like the inxs rockstar or their new album with that new vocalist then dont be turned away from the band, INXS since J D started doing the vocals does suck really bad but their old stuff is superb, so if you are a rock fan then getr your hands on this greatest hits CD as its packed with old school classics

this is worth getting for any inxs fan, i love the new inxs album with j d fortune as the lead singer but for any true fan they must hear the old inxs stuff with the original lead singer michael hutchence. my favorite song off of this best of collection is 'beautiful girl'. a great album for all rock and inxs fans

decent best of album here, all their hit songs are on here, though i have to agree, many of them sound pretty similar. but having said that, if you like any of their songs then you are sure to like this album, as it has their definitive hits on it, such as New Sensation, which is one of their most popular hits.

this is a pretty good cd to get if you like any of inxs' work, as all; their songs sound a bit similar in one way or another. i like quite a few of the songs on here, but also fund some a bit boring. my faves are Never Tear Us Apart, and Suicide Blonde. a good buy if you are into your INXS, and this would also be a good gift.
