After a performance in [[Toronto]] the band was approached by producer [[Nile Rodgers]]; by September 1983, the band had recorded "[[Original Sin (INXS song)|Original Sin]]" (originally entitled "Brand New Day") at New York's Power Station Studios.<ref name="Burn"/> Three tracks from ''Shabooh Shoobah'' were featured in the soundtrack for the 1984 film ''[[Reckless (1984 film)|Reckless]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/review/product/6301977602|title=Highly Overlooked 80s movie|date=26 September 2006|author=Kathy Curtis|website=Amazon.com|access-date=6 March 2008|archive-date=16 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016235033/https://www.amazon.com/review/product/6301977602|url-status=dead}}</ref> The band then travelled to the UK to begin sessions on their fourth album with [[Nick Launay]] at [[the Manor Studio]]s in [[Oxford]].<ref name="Burn"/>

The album ''[[The Swing (INXS album)|The Swing]]'', released in April 1984,<ref name="ARDb"/> received significant attention from around the world, as "Original Sin" became the band's first No.&nbsp;1 single in Australia and was popular worldwide with fans and reviewers.<ref name=OSreview>{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=song|id=t374177|pure_url=yes}} |title=Original Sin > Song Review|website=[[AllMusic]]|author=Ned Raggett|access-date=7 March 2008}}</ref> During 1984, the single reached no. 1 in Australia (for two weeks in January),<ref name="Kent"/> [[Argentina]], and France; No.&nbsp;6 in New Zealand; No.&nbsp;11 in Canada; No.&nbsp;23 in Switzerland;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=INXS&titel=Original+Sin&cat=s |title=INXS – Original Sin|website=Australian-charts.com|access-date=7 March 2008}}</ref> No.&nbsp;31 in the [[Netherlands]]; and No.&nbsp;58 in the U.S.<ref name=AMGSingles /> However, "Original Sin" was largely ignored in the UK, and INXS would not have any Top 50 chart success in the United Kingdom until the 1985 album ''[[Listen Like Thieves]]''.<ref name="UKCharts">{{cite web |url=https://www.officialcharts.com/ |title=INXS Singles and Albums Charts |publisher=[[Official Charts Company]] |access-date=20 November 2008 }}</ref>

During 1984, INXS toured non-stop, performing across Europe, the UK, the US and Australia. By December 1984, ''The Swing'' had gone [[List of music recording sales certifications|double platinum]], making it one of the five biggest domestic albums in the history of Australian music at the time.<ref name="Burn"/>

In March 1985, the band returned to Sydney's Rhinoceros Studios and recorded the Listen Like Thieves album along with producer [[Chris Thomas (record producer)|Chris Thomas]] ([[Sex Pistols]], [[Pink Floyd]], [[The Pretenders]], [[Elton John]]).<ref name="Burn"/> As the band was finishing the recording sessions, Thomas stated that the album was not good enough and still had no "killer" track. Andrew produced a demo tape of a [[funk music|funk]] song he had been working on called "Funk Song No.&nbsp;13" and evolved it into "[[What You Need (INXS song)|What You Need]]".<ref name="Burn"/>

While the band was recording, WEA released ''[[Dekadance]]'', a limited edition 12" Vinyl and [[Compact Cassette|cassette]] only [[Extended Play|EP]] of INXS remixes from their albums ''The Swing'' and ''Shabooh Shoobah''.<ref name="ARDb"/>

On 19 May 1985, INXS won seven awards at the 1984 ''[[Countdown (Australian TV series)|Countdown]]'' Music and Video Awards ceremony.<ref name="McF"/> They performed "[[Burn for You (INXS song)|Burn for You]]", dressed in [[Akubra]]s (hats) and [[Driza-Bone|Drizabones]] (outdoor coats/oilskin jackets). The band performed five songs for the July 1985 [[Oz for Africa]] concert, in conjunction with the [[Live Aid]] benefit.<ref name="OzAfrica">{{cite web |url=http://liveaid.free.fr/pages/ozforafrika-uk.html |title=Oz for Africa |website=Liveaid.free.fr |access-date=12 March 2008 }}</ref> Two INXS songs, "[[What You Need (INXS song)|What You Need]]" and "[[Don't Change]]", were also in the [[BBC]] broadcast and are contained on [[Live Aid]]'s four DVD boxed set released in 2004.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sanity.com.au/product/product.asp?sku=1181339 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107012210/http://www.sanity.com.au/product/product.asp?sku=1181339 |url-status=dead |archive-date=7 November 2017 |title=Live Aid 4 DVD |access-date=12 March 2008 |publisher=[[Sanity (music store)|Sanity]]}}</ref>

''[[Listen Like Thieves]]'' was released in October 1985<ref name="ARDb"/> to critical approval,<ref name="RS">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/inxs/albums/album/148097/review/5944088/listen_like_thieves|title=INXS: Listen Like Thieves|magazine=Rolling Stone|author=Parke Puterbaugh|date=5 December 1985|access-date=7 March 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080516072828/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/inxs/albums/album/148097/review/5944088/listen_like_thieves|archive-date=16 May 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref> reaching No.&nbsp;3 on the Australian charts and No.&nbsp;11 on the US charts. With the release of ''Listen Like Thieves'', the band developed a rock sound influenced by [[Led Zeppelin]] and [[XTC]] while remaining true to the band's original roots in [[Pub rock (Australia)|Aussie pubs]]. It was also the first album to feature songs written by a combination of band members, with Andrew Farris and Hutchence becoming the primary songwriters in the years to follow.<ref name="s2s"/> The first U.S. single from the album, "[[This Time (INXS song)|This Time]]", stalled at No.&nbsp;81 in late 1985, but the next single, "What You Need"—released there in early 1986—became a top five ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'' hit,<ref name=AMGSingles/> bringing INXS its first break-out US success. The single was also a top 20 hit in Canada and reached No.&nbsp;2 in Australia (September 1985),<ref name="Kent"/> but only reached No.&nbsp;51 on the UK charts.<ref name="UKCharts"/> The British press dismissed the album, with [[New Musical Express]] calling the band 'INX-cusable' and a reviewer declaring ''Listen Like Thieves'' to be a 'complete and utter turkey'.<ref name="Burn"/> In the United States, however, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' wrote, "INXS rocks with passion and seals the deal with a backbeat that'll blackmail your feet."<ref name="RS"/>

In August 1985, INXS toured ahead of the release of ''Listen Like Thieves'', touring South America before returning to Melbourne to play for [[Charles, Prince of Wales|Prince Charles]] and [[Diana, Princess of Wales|Princess Diana]] of Wales at a concert. The concert was filmed and later released on a home video entitled ''Living INXS'';<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288058/ |title=Living INXS|website=IMDb.com|access-date=27 November 2008}}</ref> an edited version of the concert was played on MTV in the U.S. in 1985 on its Saturday night concert series. INXS toured North America, Europe, and New Zealand from November 1985 to February 1986. Next the band took a two-month break, with Andrew Farriss writing and producing "You're Gonna Get Hurt" for [[Jenny Morris (musician)|Jenny Morris]] (who had previously been a backing vocalist with the band),<ref name="jenny">{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110805230300/http://hem.passagen.se/honga/database/m/morrisjenny.html |url-status=usurped |url=http://hem.passagen.se/honga/database/m/morrisjenny.html |title=Jenny Morris Discography|publisher=Australian Rock Database.

Beginning in May 1986, the band performed 32 European shows (including support for [[Queen (band)|Queen]] at their [[Live at Wembley '86]] concert on 12 July), 42 U.S. shows, and 12 Australian shows. America's influential [[Musician (magazine)|Musician]] magazine called INXS "the best live band in the world."<ref name="Burn"/>
