INXS
Like many groups that achieved mainstream success in the 1980s, Australia's INXS was kinetically inspired by the British punk scene. Led by charismatic singer Michael Hutchence and the musically gifted Farriss brothers, INXS began as a new-wave rock band, but by the mid-'80s they hit on a global level with an accessible, streamlined dance-rock sound. For most people, the band's saga ended with Hutchence's tragic suicide in 1997. In 2005, however, the band went in search of a new lead singer via the AMERICAN IDOL-style reality-TV series ROCKSTAR, eventually choosing Canadian J.D. Fortune. The revamped INXS released SWITCH in 2005 and toured the world in support of it that same year.

    This group had a lot of really big hits. And of course Michael Hutchence departure was a truly great tragedy. I remember when I first heard the breaking news. My reaction was after all the great songs and big hits. How could he do this, what would drive such a person to do something like this. All the money, all the fame, all the great songs "Why, Why, Why"??? Favorite songs are "The One Thing", "Original Sin", "Dancing On The Jetty" and "What You Need". R.I.P. Forver Michael

    Can't believe this year will mark not only 10 years since Princess Diana left us but Michael Hutchence as well. God rest both their souls. INXS was never the same after he left this world.
