Did this really make so little an impression on me that it was that low on my list or did I just hate it? I legit don't remember given how long it's been since I did my list for this.

Next, a slightly less divisive song, but it still does have a bottom 10 along with THREE Top 10s & another 2 PPPPPs
...oh, and it is on the losing end of another tie

INDIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Yes, I know, it's too "soft" for you, <sigh> smh. BTW, that clears out the album Welcome To Wherever You Are.
Next is the song that won the tie, which means it has to have a better ranking than a #3. An astonishing SIX Top10 rankings actually, with 2 of us putting it in the bottom 10. This song is the only song w/ a #1 that failed to reach the Top10! Which song barely misses out of our official Pulse INXS Top10?

Awww damnit. I was hoping Mrs. Kirk Pengilly the 1st (aka. Deni Hines) would be able to sneak into the top 10. :'(

ALBUM OVERVIEW: WELCOME TO WHEREVER YOU ARE (1992)
Not wanting to be left behind with the ascent of grunge in the early 90s, INXS decided to work with Mark Opitz again whose production took a step back from the slick polish of their past 2 albums for a more raw sound. For the first single ("Heaven Sent"), they amped up the distortion. It certainly worked for the US market as the single went top 4 on both the Rock & Alternative charts. Much of the rest of the album saw more expirementation, and the critics heaped on the praise. Commerically it was a slight step down, but they still managed to hit the Top 10 in seven countries & score yet another US platinum certification.
01: Sweden (certified Gold) 01: UK (certified Gold) 02: Australia (certified Gold) 02: Switzerland (certified Gold) 08: Germany 08: New Zealand 10: Canada (certified Gold) 16: US (certified Platinum) 31: France 35: Netherlands

Ugh. Well at this point it's almost impressive if it weren't so maddening. I genuinely thought my 38 would go out in the high (meaning higher in the rankdown) 20s at worst.

#13: Beautiful GirlAs you can tell I really couldn't get into INXS post 80's. The sound just kinda sounded too simple to me. #12. Not Enough TimeSame as with the song above. This style was very subdued compared to 80's ;INXS. Soft isn't really the trouble. It was more about dropping the brass section. The brass made songs like these come alive. Without that, INXS, kinda lost me. #11. The One ThingNow we are singing. Great #1 song Troy chose here. This one should have been top 10. INXS had their own brand of of sound in the 80's. Many 80's bands that crossed the 90's threshold, lost that spark. 90's was dark enough ,so why lose the brass and synths. Even Duran Duran sounded different. It wasn't until mid 2000's that the 80's bands brought back their sound. Top 10 looks great, and my two favorite INXS songs ever made the cut.

13. Beautiful Girl (12): My favorite song off this album. I love the intro, and the unusual tenderness of INXS here. It's a simple but pretty song.
12. Not Enough Time (16): This was more popular than HS back home. The background vocals are a key ingredient for me here, as well as the music crescendo.
11. The One Thing (22): Good enough song. As with several other INXS songs, I feel their verses do not live up to the strength of the choruses to me.
WOW! Great to see that I still have 8 of my top 11s left, plus #14. Quite a good showing! Any of my top 5s would be great winners, but of course I'm crossing fingers for my #1 which has a VERY special place in my music heart :)

Yay! My #14 is out first :) I do like this one, as it was their last top 5 in my personal chart. It had a bit of the funk of their 1980s sound, but it was just not as strong as other earlier classics.

#10: Elegantly Wasted Damn! One of the few post 90's INXS, I really loved. This has no brass, but it's slick as F U C K with that psychedelic vibe.

Literally one of THE best songs of all time, and someone has the nerve to rank it bottom 10...

#09: Don't ChangeNot a song, I wanted to see miss the top 5. If I did this same rank down on my side of the border, this song would get Top 5 across the board. INXS or not, this is one of the best New Wave songs of the 80's. kinda surprised at Troy too?

This is clearly a sign of the upcoming apocalypse. This is one of the top 5 defining songs of the 80’s. A song of unbridled energy and joy.

Don't Change is quite a strong song that is a good representative of earlier 1980s vibe. Even though I ranked it at #11, it was practically a tie for my top 10. Good to see it this high.

this song just couldn't get to #1 on the charts, or with any of our rankings, but it was high for many of us...personally i think it's always been slightly overrated, but now that i've cleared my bottom 10, we only have one bottom 10 left to reveal will #7 be Ezekiel 23:20–21 's final bottom 10? i won't confirm or deny, but what i will say is that it's from an album that still has multiple songs remaining, we lose another SEVEN Top 10s (TWO of which are #1 rankings) & somebody gets a PPPPP!

Awww.... WYN was the second song that I ever heard from INXS and just like the first one it reached the top of my personal chart. A 1980s classic, especially that saxophone! Alongside Devil Inside and Original Sin, this is their song with the most plays back home.
