Performer Notes
  • INXS: Michael Hutchence (vocals); Kirk Pengilly (guitar, saxophone); Andrew Farriss (guitar, keyboards); Tim Farriss (guitar); Garry Gary Beers (bass); Jon Farriss (drums).
  • Producers: Mark Opitz, Nile Rodgers, Chris Thomas, INXS.
  • Compilation producer: Marilu Windvand-Amoroso.
  • Engineers include: Mark Opitz, D. Walsh, Jason Pocaro.
  • Principally recorded at Paradise Studios and Rhinoceros Studios, Sydney, Australia; The Power Station, New York; Studio De La Grand Armee, Paris, France between 1980 and 1994.
  • All tracks have been digitally remastered.
  • A straight-up singles collection, plus two acceptable new tracks, GREATEST HITS may be all the INXS the casual fan requires. Only on certain albums, like 1982's SHABOOH SHOOBAH and 1984's THE SWING, did the Australian sextet have many terribly interesting songs that weren't released as singles. 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. Only "Mediate" doesn't make the cut of those; the disappearance of 1982's "Don't Change" and 1980's "Just Keep Walking" are the only other disappointments.

4.0 out of 5 based on 3 reviews. 4 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 15/01/2007

This is a must own album if you are a fan of INXS, and old school rock. the songs on here tend to all sound a bit similar, but that isnt really a problem as they are all good, with such hits as Never Tear Us Apart and New Sensation, both of which shine on here, due to their catchy nature. a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 based on 3 reviews. 5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 04/11/2006

An excellant compilation of the hits of this awesome rock band from before the tragic death of Michael Hutchins, it is sure to keep even the biggest fan happy. Recordings from various albums spanning the band's career, this cd set is the perfect way to get all those great songs at once. I highly recommend this for any INXS fan, and even just any fan of this style music!

3.0 out of 5 based on 3 reviews. 3 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 02/09/2006

great cd if you really like your inxs, this is really a must have for any fan of them. some good songs on here, seem really 80s to me though, whioch isnt necessarily a bad thing. so many of the same beats tho, which is a problem for me. i do like Suicide Blonde, and never tear us apart however. a pretty good buy.
