Albums First Released in 1987
Big-budget pop and rock dominated 1987, but the strongest albums still carried distinct voices and regional identities. Key releases from 1987 include Kick by INXS, Bad by Michael Jackson, The Joshua Tree by U2 and Tango in the Night by Fleetwood Mac.
INXS reached a global audience from Australia, Michael Jackson followed Thriller with sharper production, U2 aimed for widescreen American rock and Fleetwood Mac returned with one of the decade's most polished records.

Our Pick of the Year: Kick by INXS
Kick turned INXS's mix of rock, funk and pop into a concise international album. Need You Tonight, New Sensation, Devil Inside and Never Tear Us Apart give Michael Hutchence different moods without breaking the record's momentum. The production is unmistakably 1980s, but the rhythm section keeps the songs physical rather than glossy.
