Kick is an album by the Australian rock band INXS, released in 1987. It is their best-selling album to date and according to Story to Story: The Official Autobiography has sold more than 10 million copies in the U.S. alone (as of 2005). Aided immeasurably by MTV, Kick spawned four top 10 singles, including "Need You Tonight"/"Mediate", "Devil Inside", "New Sensation", and "Never Tear Us Apart". At the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards, the band took home five Moonmen for the "Need You Tonight"/"Mediate" video.
The album includes one cover version, "The Loved One" by 1960s Australian band The Loved Ones.
Mercury/Universal reissued the album in 2004 as part of their Deluxe Edition series of albums. The two-disc collection was bolstered by a disc of remixes, B-sides and outtakes.
