10 Worst Final Albums In Rock

10. Original Sin - INXS

INXS tends to get treated as a lost relic of the '80s as of late. Despite the all-too-tragic story surrounding the death of lead singer Michael Hutchence, the amount of kickass present on albums like Kick and X made them the soundtrack to the late '80s and early '90s for thousands of music fans. However, if you want to know why these guys tend to get brought up as has-beens, Original Sin may have a little something to do with that.

Given that Hutchence had died all the way back in 1997, this 2010 record looked like it was going to be the latest vision for what this band was going to be. There had even been a whole TV show to find a new singer, which resulted in the lackluster Switch that came out just 5 years prior. With the building blocks in place with J.D. Fortune now at the helm, their ticket to success was...just doing the same old schtick all over again.

Taken on its own, Original Sin feels like an INXS album in name only, with other singers brought in to re-do the band's classic songs. Fortune is almost cut out of the mix entirely, almost as if Andy Farriss knew that their hits would sound better coming from someone like Rob Thomas or the guy from Train. There's the beginnings of a great tribute album on here, but when it's actually put out as a legitimate INXS release, you can tell they're grasping at straws.
