INXS – Kick (LP Vinyl)

Released in 1987, Kick transformed INXS from a beloved Australian rock act into a genuine global phenomenon, with Michael Hutchence's magnetic charisma meeting a sound that split the difference between hard rock, funk, and pure pop instinct. The album spent over a year on charts worldwide and remains one of the defining records of its era, the kind of thing you heard blasting from car windows and gymnasium speakers in equal measure.
