About the episode

We hit the polls for the election that really matters… Triple M’s Election 300 – Australia’s biggest music referendum! Thousands of passionate fans voted for the greatest song of all time, and after counting down from 300 to 1 across the week, one track stood above the rest: ‘Never Tear Us Apart’. Dangerous Dave and Gleeso are joined by Jon Farriss and Kirk Pengilly from INXS to celebrate the iconic 1987 anthem that’s stood the test of time. Hear the inside story of how ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ came to life during the recording of INXS’ sixth studio album Kick. Jon and Kirk take us behind the scenes on everything from the song’s haunting string arrangement to its unforgettable saxophone solo — sharing candid memories of a moment that shaped Aussie rock forever.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
