RE: Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame Nominees, And a Few of My Choices for Three Tune Tuesday (Two Days Late...)
I loved New Order too. Still do. I still have some on vinyl. And I was obsessed with Joy Division as a teenager (late '80s). INXS was always everyone's band fave at high school, but I never saw the appeal. Still, my mate and I were singing some of their songs the other day theatrically, much to my English husbands disbelief.
And to look back on him now - what a spunk. Back then we didn't like to like the mainstream popular bands as were busy being alternative. Turns out we absorbed INXS anyway.
He couldn't believe how we could remember all the lyrics - such was the power of radio at the time I guess. I do love some of their songs now, probably because of nostalgia!!

INXS was very Australian, I imagine that alone made them huge there. They were probably massively overplayed on the radio as well. It was shame how his life ended though, one nasty closed head injury led to depression and suicide...
