Top 10 Best Songs by INXS

A poppy, cheerful song about how love can make all your problems disappear. The melody is light and optimistic. "You make me so confused." Michael Hutchence sings with a smile. It's one of their most accessible hits, perfect for a sunny day. The energy is positive and contagious.

An ode to the women who run away from home and have a hard life. Written for the keyboardist's daughter. It's a quiet, atmospheric ballad. The piano and soft drums create a safe atmosphere. Hutchence's voice is warm and comforting here. A touching song that shows INXS could also be sensitive.

A beautiful, dark ballad often overlooked. The piano intro is melancholic and threatening. The chorus explodes with emotion. "In the dark of night." It's about needing someone beside you when life is hard. The backing vocals in the chorus are powerful and sweeping.

A song with a mean, filthy rock riff. It's about the dark side that hides in all of us. "Every single one of us, the devil inside." The mood is brooding and dangerous. Hutchence sings with arrogant swagger. The rhythm is tight and compelling. A tough song for late nights.

The title says it all: this song bursts with new energy. The famous guitar riff at the beginning is funky and fresh. It's about living in the moment and trying everything. "Are you ready for a new sensation?" It's a dance floor banger that perfectly combines rock and funk. Impossible to sit still.

Inspired by Kylie Minogue (Hutchence's girlfriend at the time). The harmonica sample in the beat is iconic and gives it a unique sound. It's an up-tempo, danceable song about a woman who knows what she wants. The energy is manic and sexy. One of their biggest hits marking the transition to the nineties.

A fan favorite. A piano-driven rock song that oozes pure class. It's about a mysterious woman who bewitches him. Hutchence sounds his best here: soulful and passionate. "Eternally wild with the power to make every moment come alive." It's stylish, romantic and timeless.

Produced by Nile Rodgers, and you can hear it. The funk influences are evident. It's about interracial love and breaking taboos. "Dream on white boy, dream on black girl." The production is grand and the mood is exotic. The chorus is grand and sweeping. An early hit that set the direction for the band.

Their only number one hit in America. The riff is minimalist, tight and super funky. It's sex set to music. Michael almost whispers: "I'm lonely." The pauses in the music make it exciting. It's cool, dry and irresistible. The ultimate proof that you don't need much to make a world hit if the groove is right.

Not only the best song by INXS, but often called one of the best songs of all time. The combination of the raw breakbeat with lush string arrangements by Wil Malone creates an emotional impact rarely heard in electronic music. Shara Nelson sings her lungs out about a lost love, full of pain and longing. The track is grand and sweeping, a symphony for the soul. Even after decades, it still gives goosebumps at the first note.
