I remember that inxs was kind of a strange band when all other bands at the time were “new wave”. Strange in the fact that they were unique and seemed to have more depth than what was coming out at the time. Being a musician myself, I noticed this. The first time I heard kick, I was impressed and pleased that they transended what I thought they were. It has become (to this day) one of my favorite albums of all time. I was too shocked at michaels passing. I still listen to his music and I turn on the younger kids to inxs and they are impressed.
