Every morning I watched this at the top of the charts before going to school

So I started re listening. Fabulously dated. Ace. Anyone else who used to love them? Delve back in...

You definitely picked two of the safer videos!

Yes, I listened, and yes, I loved them.

Chauffeur and Save a Prayer are both classics.

They did some excellent songs: Neither of those are amongst them.

Saw them live just a few years. Great fun. Can still sing but a fair bit porkier than he used to be!

I wouldn't post up Seven and the Raggered Tiger album. I used to listen to that on my stacked stereo system in its fake wood effect cabinet/smoked glass door 🙂 my Mum strangely never shouted turn it down

Well, they made a reasonable fist of this:

Not as good a cover as the Eurythmics, but I like it...

Ahhh, Milo O'Shea, Legend!
I loved his part in the film version of Joe Orton's play, Loot

Edit: Hanoi Jane was a bit tidy like, back in yoot - I would!

Lots of great songs, some beautiful crafted melodies.

All part of growing up.

Did prefer Powerstation though, but good choice to bring them back to my attention.

I quite liked the first album - in fact I bought it.

Heh

I used to sing (still do on the odd occasion) and have been told I sound like Le Bon. It doesn't help that the songs I used to write for a particular project were very much of that 80s ilk so the voice was a good fit.

Being my voice, I hate it and was never that keen on Le Bon's strained tones but it kind of works when you listen to it as a whole. Duran Duran, that is, not my shit.

I had a mate who lived in North Carolina, hugely into music although mostly rock/metal. we were talking about gigs one night and hes seen Metallica,Korn,Godsmack, Marilyn Manson etc a few times but his fav gig of all time was Duran Duran back in college in 1989.

I think they're actually better than I thought they were at the time.
