Dude, it's all about "groove is in the heart" followed by "roam" and,
well... The B-52's have a huge wall of stuff at the rock 'n roll hall of
fame, too. Of course, it's opposite the rolling stones section, so a lot
of people miss it. Bastards!
The problem with INXS, I found out after buying many many cds, is that they
often made singles for the best songs, and the ones left on the albums were
pretty crass.
I grew up on this stuff! It's a lot easier to do, of course, when you're
young and just have a radio.
I'm very, very lucky to have avoided the awful early 80's new-wave sound. Ugh!
