I know Kick is the album INXS is most celebrated for, but Listen Like Thieves is my favorite album by the band. It's more of a stripped-down INXS, but just fantastic. Let's go to the videos. Only "What You Need," "Listen Like Thieves," and "This Time" are the original videos, but I found excellent quality concert footage of the other songs — good stuff.
"What You Need" is most like the stuff off Kick. The video is artsy and fun, very similar to what bands were doing in the mid '80s.
Let's talk about the "Listen Like Thieves" video. I couldn't find it on You Tube, but I knew one existed — in my mind I could see the weirdness. Don't worry, I found it on Daily Motion and the weirdness was there. The video is like Mad Max meets INXS. The band is playing, there are armed guards, an old Cruella deVille woman with opera glasses, and a bunch of Mad Max extras watching the band. It's interesting.
I very much enjoy "Shine Like it Does". Great song.
Same goes for "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)".
I hope you enjoyed the '80s Sunday Rewind. Have a great Sunday.
