The 1124th greatest album of all time

Kick, released in 1987 by INXS and produced by Chris Thomas, is a polished blend of rock, pop rock, alternative rock, pop and funk rock that foregrounds tight, danceable rhythms and Michael Hutchence's charismatic vocals. The record mixes groove-driven, funk-inflected tracks with melodic rock and atmospheric balladry, emphasizing strong hooks and a slick studio sheen that broadened the band's international profile.
