any Duran Duran fans here

I know there are some fans of Duran Duran on this forum. But did anyone know next year is 25 years since Duran Druans debut album came out. & you all know what 25 years after first recording means induction into the rock roll hall of fame.

Duran Duran are one of the best ever electronic pop/rock band from the 80’s 90’s & now. They were one of the first bands to create a music video.

In the UK alone Duran Duran have had two #1 hits, eight top 5 hits, Fifteen top 10 hits & Thirty top 40 hits. In the US alone they have had two #1 hit, nine top 5 hit’s, eleven top 10 hits & fifteen top 40 hits.

In 1984 Duran Duran won both music video grammy awards

Duran Duran are one of many artist that performed at both live aid & Live 8

Duran Duran have sold 12 million albums in America & over 70 million albums around the world

The band released their first album in 1981 which makes them eligible for the rock hall ballot in 2006.

Last September the rock hall had snubbed many artist & bands that debut in 1980. Well if Duran Duran is going to have any chance to be inducted into the hall, then the fans must speak by signing this petition.

The committee will meet after next years induction to decided which artist/bands will be on the final ballot for the 2007 rock hall induction.

I think there are many Duran Duran fans here!!!!

This Hall of Fame thing is such bullsh*t to me.

So, you're nobody until they recognize you?

I'm glad Ozzy told them to fu*k off several times.

Duran Duran are a great band with or without a nomination.

no thats not true

i just think the 25 year rule is kind of slow. but on the other hand Duran Duran are a shoe in for 2007 rock hall & so will Madonna & R.E.M in 2008.

biggrin
