INXS's raw, pub-rock debut is a band still searching for its magic. An interesting snapshot of where it all started, but a forgettable one.

INXS shed their ska-punk edge without quite finding what comes next. A smoother but uneven second record, saved by Stay Young and Fair Weather Ahead.

The real turning point. INXS shed the punk and find their footing, sleeker and sharper, with Don't Change and The One Thing leading the way. This is the starting line.

With Nile Rodgers producing, INXS make their first real leap toward the spotlight. Tighter grooves, harder funk, and Original Sin leading a confident, swaggering step up.

INXS's most consistent record yet, rock-forward and locked in, from What You Need on down. Their strongest album to this point, and the real tee-up for Kick.

INXS hit the triple bullseye. Kick took them global on the back of Need You Tonight, Mystify, and Never Tear Us Apart. Their first No Skip Album and their masterpiece.

INXS play it safe after Kick, but a safe INXS is still a stylish one. A crisp, comfortable follow-up with Suicide Blonde and Faith in Each Other. Their second-best, by their own reckoning.

INXS swerve hard into sitars, didgeridoos, and psychedelia, and it's a bold, self-conscious mess. Points for the risk, but little staying power. A rare misstep.

INXS lean darker and heavier on a moody, rock-driven record. A late-era turn with guest spots and grit, for the curious deep-diver.

The last INXS album with Michael Hutchence, and a flicker of the old swagger. A poignant, uneven farewell to an era.

INXS reboot with a reality-TV-chosen frontman on their post-Hutchence comeback. A strange, divisive new chapter for the Australian band.
