10 Greatest INXS Songs Of All Time

10. Kick

The title track from their iconic 1987 album and the first of five entries from the chart topper, this song is signature INXS pop rock at their best. The band is in full swing here, Pengilly letting loose on the sax, Tim Farriss turning the amps up to 11, while the brass component brings the song to an epic scale. Hutchence has us invested from the start, his repeated chant of 'come on' getting us pumped up for a classic.

Like many of the singles from the Kick album, the song would have been far more entrenched as a fan favourite and been a far greater commercial hit had it been on one of the band's other albums. It was still a moderate commercial success and was at least released as a single, unlike another entry on this list.

The lyrics are not Hutchence's most complex, but work as a chorus chant that is great to sing along with when flying down the highway. The song is just damn good fun and an example of the staple hits INXS repeatedly churned out over their 20 year history.
