an album by another group from down under, INXS. Come to think of it I think it was called "Listen Like Thieves"

You're certainly right there, Alex - though as it turns out I was thinking about an entirely British group, The Jam!

Have to say INXS didn't do much for me, and certainly compared to Split Enz (and then, in a very different vein, Crowded House & Finn bros stuff) INXS pales into insignificance.

Yes, I'm completely biased - and an acoustic guitarist rather than bass-player.
