Augmenting its 21 songs with some worthwhile numbers that Hits omitted, including the essential single "Not Enough Time," Best of delivers a more complete overview of INXS's danceable pub rock. It goes a bit overboard, though, by including some justifiably unreleased tracks and uninspired remixes. (INXS becomes the latest band to bizarrely count songs among its best that weren't good enough to make its albums.) It also fails to make room for "Good Times," the band's lean, mean collaboration with Jimmy Barnes, which means fans must still search for the comical, Lou Gramm-plagued Lost Boys soundtrack. Amazingly, none of these comps, including Shine, has "Mediate," well-known to MTV junkies as the Bob Dylan-aping second half of the "Need You Tonight" video. Perhaps that track could be included on a comprehensive, chronological collection of the band's singles, which would concisely -- and nearly completely --capture its brightest moments.
