For the music nerd amongst us, there's some gold in here. How INXS placed an importance on getting the best producer they could afford, how they tried to capture their live sound on record and how their album in the early '90s, the timeless Welcome To Wherever You Are, remains their favourite INXS album.

Poignantly, the boys reflect on what the late, great Michael Hutchence would have thought at being voted the Aussie G.O.A.T. Spoiler alert: he would have bloody loved it.

Thanks to everyone who voted and if nothing else music fans, here's to Aussie music. Always batting way above its average!
