Coming Around Again Podcast: INXS's 'Kick' Album at 30
This week we revisit INXS' blockbuster 1987 LP, Kick. The album, an impossibly seductive blend of rock, pop, funk and soul, made the Australian rock band international superstars, spawning four Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits in the U.S. Writer Eric Spitznagel calls in this week to discuss the piece he wrote for Billboard magazine about the controversial circumstances surrounding the album's release -- in which manager Chris Murphy claims that Atlantic Records, the band's U.S. label at the time, was distraught by the album's pop-leaning content, offering the band $1 million to delete the record and start over.
