Yep they are good; you donât have to preach the Holy Word to convince me, Trust Me.
I am a fan of Brave but not so much Bedroom Eyes, each to their own.

Very much in the twilight of their career (see what I did there?) This is actually from the JD Fortune era; another decent song from that album is âPretty Vegasâ which does get a run on the Billy Bob Network.

âPerfect Strangersâ and âNever Let You Goâ are great tracks on that album too.
JD Fortune definitely had some strong Michael Hutchence vibes in his vocals too.

IIRC, INXS performed âPretty Vegasâ at the 2006 NRL Grand Final; the song in question had been released twelve months earlier after Fortune won the Idol-like reality TV singing contest (if I could call it that) âINXS: Rock Starâ.
As hard as they tried to continue on without Michael Hutchence (and carry his legacy forward), I donât think INXS were ever the same after his passing in 1997.

Only time Iâve ever seen INXS live was at the 2001 Grand Final with their Kiwi front man.
