ON THIS DATE IN 1987 AN AUSTRALIAN BAND DROPPED THEIR 6TH ALBUM…AND WHILE THEY WERE A PRETTY BIG SUCCESS IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY, INXS HADN’T BROKE THROUGH IN THE STATES…UNTIL 36 YEARS AGO TODAY AND THIS GIRL FELL HARD! THE ALBUM WAS TITLED “KICK” AND IT WAS KINDA ALL OVER THE PLACE STYLISTICALLY AND LOADED WITH HIT SINGLES THAT KEPT THEM ON THE US CHARTS AND TOURING HARD CORE INCLUDING LEGENDARY ROCK N ROLL DEBAUCHEROUS PARTYING AND HEADLINE MAKING BEHAVIOR FROM THE BAND, SPEARHEADED BY THEIR PRETTY BOY FRONTMAN MICHAEL HUTCHENCE, WHO SADLY WOULD DIE 10 YEARS AFTER THE RELEASE OF “KICK” FROM AN APPARENT SUICIDE…MY FAVORITE SINGLE FROM THE ALBUM HAS TO BE “DEVIL INSIDE” A-HA HA HA…TIMELESS ROCK WITH SOME FLAIR…
