When did they get so good?Or am I just whack? Yeah, - I was on the "i hate Duran Duran is the new disco" bandwagon years ago. But goodness, - the song on the Saint Soundtrack and some other recent redos and newbies sound good to me know....
No, - i didn't just have a lobotomy: at least one that I remember.
Follow Ups:
I picked up their Thank You cd, which basically sucks, except for the song White Lines which really rocks. It even has Grandmaster Flash on it. Anyway, good thing I paid only two bits for it at a garage sale, which was well worth it for the one song.
I was in 7th grade, when duran Duran couldn't get any higher. By the time 8th grade came along (84-85), Duran Duran kind of faded. Shortly thereafter, the Taylors teamed up with Robert Palmer and Chic's Tony Thompson. The other members briefly formed Arcadia, but in the fall of 1986, kept the name Duran Duran, and came out with Notorious. I still recall going to the Wherehouse on Judah or Irving, and hemming and hawing between Janet Jackson, Glass Tiger, and Duran Duran. I ended up buying nothing.But anyway, Duran Duran recruited Missing Persons' Warren Cuccurulo, whose talents opened up Duran's sound.
Years later, when the original Duran Duran members came back, they found that they just enjoyed playing together.
Bu I still miss those days in 7th grade, playing Dungeons & Dragons, and letting Duran Duran's nonsensical lyrics make my imagination run wild...
I was always afraid to admit that I liked them when I was in school. Last summer I went for a holiday to the UK to visit my bro. We got in his car & he had 'the best of' in the car - That was one of the most fun drives I have had for a long time. It's aged pretty well.
