INXS: The One Thing (1982)

"The One Thing" is the perfect example of a post-disco, post-punk rock song. It bridges the gap between the late 70s and mid-80s better than most other recordings of the period. It's also a fun song.

INXS and Jimmy Barnes: Good Times (1987)

Jimmy Barnes and INXS co-wrote “Good Times”, which became an Australian anthem. The song spread to America thanks to the Joel Schumacher film, The Lost Boys, starring Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland, and the two Coreys, Feldman and Haim. The film is a 80s cult classic. I watched it one night in (probably 1988) with friends, one of which ran all the way home afterward.

U2: Gone (1997)

"Gone" is about guilt that U2 felt by becoming so rich doing "so little." It encompasses the inner conflict between artist and humanist. During the PopMart Tour, the band dedicated the song to Michael Hutchence of INXS, whom apparently shared this feeling.

INXS: What you Need (1986)

INXS finished the Listen Like Thieves album and record execs worried that it lacked a hit. So, in no time, they wrote "What You Need." Sometimes, it does not take long to write a hit song. Makes one wonder about pop music listeners....
