While
INXS made a few consistent albums, singles are the best format for the group's stylish
dance-
rock. Throughout the '80s and early '90s, the group racked up nine Top 40 hits and seven of those singles hit the Top Ten.
Greatest Hits collects all of those hits -- including
"Need You Tonight," "What You Need," "Devil Inside," "New Sensation," "Disappear," "Suicide Blonde," and
"Never Tears Us Apart" -- adding minor hits like
"Original Sin" and
"Listen Like Thieves," but curiously bypassing the pivotal
"Don't Change" and excellent
"Bitter Tears," which was a bigger hit than several songs on the record. Nevertheless,
Greatest Hits lives up to its title and provides a fine introduction to the band.
