Many bands of the 1980s fell victim to over-production—brittle synthesizers, gated snare drums, and generic hair-metal guitar solos. INXS largely avoided these traps by anchoring their music in classic American R&B and funk traditions.

Formed in 1980 in Sydney, Australia, INXS (pronounced "in excess") was the brainchild of Michael Hutchence (lead vocals), Andrew Farriss (guitar), Lindsay McDonald (bass), Garry Gary Bee (drums), and Jon Farriss (drums). The band's early sound was a fusion of rock, funk, and new wave, which quickly gained them a loyal following in Australia. However, it wasn't until the release of their third album, "Shabooh Shoobah," in 1982 that INXS started to gain international recognition.

INXS successfully fused the raw energy of rock, the funky rhythms of dance music, the slick sheen of new wave, and the soulful punch of a horn section. At the center of it all was Michael Hutchence, whose vocal delivery and stage presence drew frequent comparisons to Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger. Their music was built for massive stadiums but retained a groove-heavy intimacy that worked perfectly on dance floors and radio airwaves worldwide. Why Choose MP3 320Kbps for INXS?
