INXS Fans Launch Campaign For Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction

Despite their treasure trove of songs, style, and ability to fill stadiums far from home in the late 1980s, INXS is one of many bands vying for a Rock Hall nomination.

A passionate group of fans is working hard to change that.

A change.org petition titled “Induct INXS into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” is close to reaching its goal of 15,000 signatures.

At the time of writing, over 11,000 fans had signed the petition, which states: “After many years of amazing music and dynamic “live” performances, it’s time to ensure the legacy of one of the world’s greatest bands – INXS!”

“Team Induct INXS,” comprised of fans Dina Ghram, Shanon Steele, and Jim Skivalidas, founded the campaign.

“All three of us are big music fans and have a deep appreciation for bands that have touched our lives and inspired us over the years,” the trio says in a statement to Billboard.

“INXS is at the top of all three of our lists – we grew up with them, saw them ‘live,’ bought all of their albums, and have come to think of INXS as a sort of family.”

INXS was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2001, four years after Hutchence died at the age of 37. Since 2006, the band has been eligible for induction into the Cleveland, Ohio-based Rock Hall, but their name has yet to be called.

Though the surviving members of INXS have retired from touring, a popular podcast, INXS: Access All Areas, hosted by Haydn Murdoch and Bridgit “Bee” Hewitt, delves into the band and their many hits, including “Original Sin,” “What You Need,” “Don’t Change,” “Burn For You,” and others.

Contemporaries Pat Benatar, Eurythmics, and Duran Duran were among the 2022 Rock Hall class, who hired Nile Rodgers to produce their 1983 hit “The Reflex” after hearing his slick sonic work on “Original Sin.”

“We will not stop this campaign until INXS is nominated and inducted,” Team Induct INXS states. “This should have happened a long time ago.”
