In 1982, Australia's INXS knocked the flinty edge off of their hard rock sound, added a dance beat and stepped off the big island and onto the world stage. In the process they created a blueprint for the rest of their career, with singles like "The One Thing" and "Don't Change" preparing newfound fans for their impending superstardom. The sexy Michael Hutchence was still developing his Mick Jagger strut here, but he was hardly lacking any natural charisma. The power of his voice, coupled with the Farriss brothers' songwriting savvy and fraternal rhythmic punch, was already evidenced on album tracks like "Soul Mistake," "Spy of Love," and the pretty "Jan's Song." --Michael Ruby
