That's not completely actuate. Yes; Michael died from asphyxiation, but his death was considered an accident. Some people enjoy being choked; while engaging in sexual activities. So Michael didn't mean to kill himself; he just got a little too worked up, and died as a result. I don't know if it's talked about much nowadays, but there was a report about it, shortly after when the police came back with their full investigation.

Way back then, I recorded on a cassette tape, a radio show that was the current top 10 in the UK. This song was on it. I edited out all of the talk, so I didn't know the name of the band. The One Thing was getting played on the local station, but I didn't know it was the same band. A few years later, MTV started showing the What You Need video from the Listen Like Thieves album. I was really shocked to learn this was all INXS. I've been a fan ever since.

These guys were huge in the 80s and early 90s. Had their singer not died, and they continued making new music, I believe we'd be talking about them in the same context as U2 and Bruce Springsteen.

Baby INXS were fantastic, still finding their sound, this song was a glimpse into there future sound.

You are sooooo missed, Michael!! Rest In Peace... Your music will live on forever!!! Thank you INXS for your magic!!! I've been listening for 35+ years!!! ❤❤❤

This is my favorite INXS song because of the raw energy it has.

This is my favorite song by them and it’s probably due to the video. I love seeing them as young and hungry guys giving it 100% when they had like no budget to make a music video. This is how I like to remember Michael Hutchence - this young skinny version of the icon he was to become. I literally cried when he died. And I’m a straight dude! Just was always a fan since they first showed up on MTV.

One of my favourites, too. The video was shot in a hangar at Adelaide Airport, it was meant to be filmed on the runway but the weather was no good. The director was Scott Hicks who went on to direct the movie Shine for which he received best director and original screenplay nominations in 1996, and Geoffrey Rush won the best actor Oscar.

New wave, post-punk, alternative, however you label them, this is one of the great songs from that era.

I miss INXS so much. I often wonder how much bigger they would have gotten had Michael not died. Luckily, I got to see them in concert a couple of times. Once I went to the theater early with an album in hand and when they drove up I got it autographed.

This whole album is, as the kids today say, FIRE! I think it's their best work...which is saying something with what was yet to come! Such a talented band!

THIS is, imho, the quintessential INXS jam! My favorite since the very beginning. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Suicide Blonde live from Wembley Stadium is an absolute must! INXS kicks it up a gear.❤

My favorite INXS song! Brimming with positivity and passion. Life was on an upswing for me when this came out.

I feel so lucky growing up listening to bands like this. I really think you guys would absolutely love the somg Good Times with INXS and another Aussie treasure the great Jimmy Barnes. You won't be disappointed, it was on The Lost Boys soundtrack

Love INXS -a great Aussie band and these early songs were fantastic. It’s fun watching all of them but especially Michael who hadn’t worked out his moves. Kiss The Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain) is another one of my favourites.

An all-time favorite. Back in the day this was one of the songs credited with the new college/alternative music style.

That's why I like this. Once at university, all of these different bands were coming out sounding similarly. I was ridiculed because of it, but it was fact. Being a musician whole those mocking weren't,I demonstrated as such. Anyway, having their debut and "Beneath The Colours" I knew this was their break. Especially after "The Once Thing" was released and seeing them at.the US Festival! Great show!

This was off INXS's breakout album, Shabooh Shoobah. It was the follow up to their first charted single in the US, "The One Thing", which is DEFINITELY worth a listen. Some of their other early stuff includes "I Send a Message", "Original Sin" and "Listen Like Thieves".

I was obsessed with Inxs and I was surprised to see my mom loved them too!!! The last song my mom wanted me to play before she passed was Mystified

Nothing instantly transports me back in time quite like the opening synth line to this song.

Ah, early INXS. They were considered more indie at that point, and the sound is definitely early 80s. The band dynamics and Michael's vocal presence were there from the start.

This is literally my FAVORITE song by them! Y’all now need to react to my 2nd fav song by them, “Disappear.” It’s early ‘90s INXS, and I think you’re going to LOOOVE it!!!

This whole album is great. Definitely one of my favorite INXS songs. You should react to 'The One Thing', the song that really kick started their popularity.

INXS had many many many great songs but Don't Change is easily my favourite song of theirs by far. Makes me wanna sing and dance every time I hear it.

Amber's comment about hearing what they were feeling and writing about back then captures the essence of what art attempts to do. It captures a moment or a feeling in its own particular way and lets us revisit and remember it as we age and change. Maybe that's why Amber likes 70's music so much. They were so great at capturing moments simply and emotionally.

One of my all time favorite songs. Totally brings me back to the early 80s. That keyboard riff. Another banger from the same album is "The One Thing"

YAY! This is one of my (many) favorite INXS songs! Original Sin (from 1984) is another great song.

This was from 1983 on either their first (or one of the first) album. In 1987, they did (with Jimmy Barnes) a great cover of the song "Good Times" as part of the soundtrack album for "The Lost Boys." It's well worth a reaction, especially since Jay will feel compelled to play air piano.😂

Miss you Michael! RIP.

One of the quintessential '80s Rock/New Wave songs of all time! When I discovered INXS, after this album came out -- Shabooh Shoobah (1982) -- I officially became an 80's-kid! I will never forget that day: I walked into a Record Shop (CDs were only just coming out at that time), across the street from the Restaurant I was working at (I had just turned 19), and I heard the song "The One Thing" by INXS playing over the system. I instantly loved it; it just caught me as unique and cool! I literally bought the CD right away. It was one of the first CDs I owned -- before that, I only had tapes and records -- and started my New Wave journey that day! I had been into The Police and U2 a bit, before that, but they grew out of the Punk movement, of the late 70's. INXS was my first investment in New Wave. That was about the same time as Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science" coming out. That was another huge tune and artist that I got into in 1982. Rush, my favorite band at that point, was already pointing me towards the new 80s sounds, with their album "Signals", which came out earlier that year. Also, their song "Vital Signs", from 1981, was another harbinger of the new music I would be discovering in those days and years. That was the best time!

A foreign exchange student from Australia lived with my family close to 1 year. We kept in touch and I went to visit him and his wife in late 1987. INXS was the biggest thing going at the time. He went to high school with a few of the band members. He was amazed at their success at the time. I always remember that besides INXS, the other two bands/artists that had multiple songs played it seemed every hour on the radio were Chris Rea and the Bee Gees. I recommend you take a dive into Chris Rea. You played his huge Christmas hit last December. You'll love his soulful voice. Start with 'I'm Still Loving You', 'Windy Town' or 'Fool if You Think It's Over'.

In one of the reactions, Amber said that INXS is now her favorite band along with Pink Floyd. It is time for you to experience more live performances because you will fall in love with all of the band members - and they will rise to the top! They were one of the best live bands ever. You have to do something from Wembley-either Suicide Blonde or Original Sin or truly anything from that concert. 74,000 were at that concert so the energy is surreal. Then if you can do this, please check out Bitter Tears from Saturday Night Live. Even Jay will have a Man Crush. Next, Good Times with Jimmy Barnes. The video is great. Then we will have to do some later songs. But start here. Thanks for all you do!

This is my favorite INXS song. Not as popular as some of their others but a gem in my opinion.

Their energy, they've enjoyed it, you can see, how they're extremely happy and all the emotions in their faces, the passion, the responding from crowd, every minute of the concert is damn perfection.

The band was playing on my college campus back in the day. Had a test that night and couldn’t go but the venue was directly behind my class. During the break, I went outside and you could hear the music. This was one of the songs I heard.

When I was in high school a new amphitheater opened close to my house. It didn’t have a sound ordinance for quite a while. I climbed out my window and sat on the roof listening to the INXS concert. Still sticks in my head.

80s New Wave at its finest. There's just something about a simple half step walkdown...

This is my favorite INXS. This song takes me back to Friday/Saturday nights in the 80s. This song was popular with bar bands back then. I like this one followed by The One Thing. That should be the next INXS

“Suicide Blonde” is a great song. The live version from Wembley Stadium in London really rocks. Incidentally, a suicide blonde is someone who colors their own hair, they “dye by their own hand”, if you will.

This is the OG INXS .. My favorite time period for them. They were young and hungry and creating!

Happy birthday Jay. Another INXS song you will love is original sin

I love all ten of their studio albums (with Michael Hutchence) and I can listen to them from the first track to the last But from Shabooh Shoobah (1982) to Welcome to Wherever You Are (1992) all those albums are incredible with so many hits on each But my favourite INXS song is from their second album Underneath the Colours (1981) the song is called Stay Young

Don't Change is one of the greatest songs from the 80's. She Sheila by The Producers is another one of the greatest 80's songs!

Early INXS was the best imo. This track, Dancing on the Jetty, Just keep Walking, What You Need, Stay Young, Original Sin, To Look at You, This Time etc. All FANTASTIC tracks.

FINALLY!!!! This is the song that we’ve been waiting for. Oh-it’s not the feast banquet video I remember-but they are still young and beautiful! I miss them.

This was the first INXS I ever heard, way back in 1983 when it was released. It still might be my favorite song of theirs. Underappreciated band these days, I think.

I saw INXS in the late 80's. Michael was very animated. Good performers!

Great Aussie band. I've saw them a few times and gosh, Michael had so much charisma and stage presence that you couldn't help fall in love with him. RIP MH. 🇦🇺

For me, this song and The One Thing are their best songs. I like it better than their later stuff.

Love INXS, so many great songs❤❤❤

This was one of the first songs my band learned how to play. Great bassline FOO Fighters!!!!

My favorite band of all time. I saw them so many times as a teenager. I still can't quite believe Michael has been gone for so long😢 My first obsession❤

The early INXS is more of a fun rock band, while the later material was more produced as dance tracks.

So glad guys of your age can enjoy INXS, such a great band especially live. Love their older stuff 😊

This was a constant in my twenties and I loved INXS and their unique but rocking style, ever since the first song of theirs I heard "The One Thing" (awesome!) I think you should also listen to "Original Sin" which was a huge hit in Australia. Re: Michael Hutchence - I had a friend who said he went to a party at a mate's place where M.H. was there and stayed the night. There was one guy who kept fawning over him, since the band had just started making it big and in the morning he fussed over the breakfast and asked M.H. if toast was ok and he said yes. Then the guy asked how he liked it and M.H. said calmly, "Toasted." ❣

When I heard this song come out on the radio, I was in instant love with INXS. I immediately bought the album and by far still is my favorite album by them.

This song rocks! Iconic. Classic. Timeless.

Don’t Change is my favorite INXS song. I think it’s one of those perfect pop rock songs that rarely come around. I used to sing this song to my baby son when I was rocking him to sleep.
