They're one of the first bands I got into. I mainly just like their first three albums (Duran, Rio, Seven). I also really like the Arcadia album. I sort of lost interest starting with Notorious, though...

The quintessential 80's New Wave/New Romantic band. They were one of the best, IMO, to spawn from that genre. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Another favorite of mine.I especially love the sarcastic lyric that goes "you're about as easy as a nuclear war" Yeah, that's a classic... and how about this clever lyric from "Cracks In The Pavement": "Don't want to be in public/My head is full of chopstick/I don't like it!" I'm sure it made sense to Simon... End. | |

"Save A Prayer" is my favorite Duran Duran song.Who else is really feeling this song? Did you ever see "Sing Blue Silver"? It covered their '83-84 tour. There is a touching live version of "Save a Prayer" that was dedicated to Marvin Gaye after his death. "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

They were my first obsession.
I can still listen to their music and enjoy it just as much as I did in the 80's. They had some good songs in the 90's as well. Here are my faves: The Chauffer The Reflex (ext.version) The 7th Stranger Secret Oktober New Religion Lonely In Your Nightmare Out of My Mind everything on Notorious Loved Arcadia and Power Station!!! "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

No,I never saw that video but I would love to have it on DVD.They dedicated "Save A Prayer" to Marvin Gaye? I gotta see that show!! If I'm not mistaken, the dedication was at the Bay Area show at the Oakland Coliseum (what it used to be called) either the day after his death or not too long after that.

Whoa! Great thread! Where do I begin!?
Duran Duran were my absolute favorite BAND growing up and I collected ANYTHING I could get my hands onto about them-everything from import 12" records (yes records lol) to Japanese picture books. They certainly made an impression on this 13 year old's mind back in the 80's! Ironically, I only ever saw The Power Station live (and they kicked ass!) so I am really looking forward to their reunion tour. I think they were the perfect combination of a "pop" band all mixed together with rock and dance. They have never been afraid of growing musically and have seemed to always strive to do this! I always cringe at the notion that Michael Jackson was the pioneer in video because Duran Duran took it much more seriously than he did and way before he did. Notice that once they weren't getting played on the radio very much MTV stopped playing their videos as well. Or vice versa, I dunno. But yeah...can't say enough about Duran Duran!!! | |

This is very much the truth look at MJ videos before Duran hit the music scene and look at MJ videos after Duran made it big im convinced MJ would never had made thriller so over the top if he hadnt seen the videos for hungry like the wolf and save a prayer and wild boys. actually MJ sent the members of duran and note about how he liked their music and videos and how they were inspiring to him and that he would have liked to work with them. john taylor mentioned this in a interview not long. dont get me wrong MJ videos were brilliant but i think Duran's were better and a bit more clever. | |
