Best and worst of musical decades: The 1980s - Page 2 - The Orange Mane

i wouldn't say ahead of their time. really, they were a simple rock and roll band. what made them outstanding was the presence of Hutchence. their songs were solid but not innovative, by any means.

what?

Pop music now is where full moon/dirty hearts was at like 10 years ago.

Right. That statement does nothing but slag INXS. Sorry, the likes of Maroon 5, Switchfoot, et al being like Full Moon, Dirty Hearts is off the mark. Besides, INXS was doing in 93 what the Cult and U2 had been doing for years themselves.

i dunno about the cult, their music was pretty different than INXS, and u2 as well. They were actually 'serious'......

Smiling Assassin27 · 02-01-2006, 03:00 PM

yeah, i'm talking about the melodies and musical sound, not so much the lyrical content. Songs on that INXS record remind me a lot of Love or Electric by the Cult musically.

Well i could argue that 'sea of change' by beck is just a rehashed donovan record...

Yeah buddy!

A lot of people think of Luke either as a session player or as "that guy from Toto," but the dude can play almost anything. My favorite Luke projects are the fusion records where he just goes beserk and plays whatever he feels like.

Holdsworth is in a class all by himself - a shamefully underrated and underexposed genius.

a greatest hits will work fine if you are going to buy an album - but for the most part - anything will do.
