Are you saying that INXS was also ignored by MTV because they weren't grunge, or that Full Moon Dirty Hearts leaned more towards grunge and should have been more popular because grunge was the big thing?
I have no idea how, but somehow the folks at MTV were able to wash away 90% of the popular artist of the preceding decade before them.
In just about a year or two, really.
Only a few survived from around the 1993 point, some reached 1996 than a few years later just a few.
Welcome to Wherever You Are is a good album but the times were changing. With Nirvana and Pearl Jam rock was getting dirtier, harder, and darker. U2 survived 'cause they changed their look and came out with one of the greatest albums ever, which had dark lyrics and lots of guitars. INXS made a very good INXS album, but the high school kids didn't want INXS type music anymore.
Most of them were sent packing in the US to tour county fairs, half emptied arenas, Indian casino's and generally oldie's tours and various radio spots.
Not a bad gig if you ask me, but if you were on top of the world just a few years before...it must have hurt like hell falling like that.
I always thought, "Welcome to Wherever You Are" was the best album by INXS.
