Am I the only person who thinks Duran Duran isn't "all that"????

[Intelsucks]

I mean really... Weren't they much better musicians than The Beatles ever dreamt of being? :P

[soleft]

1. Never mind

I didn't see the other thread.

[vi5]

2. Yes! You are the only one...

Clearly you must know nothing about music if you dare to say that about such a hugely influential band.

[Skittles]

3. GAWD I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE THEM

dreadful fluff - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

[rocktivity]

4. I attended one of their concerts--NOT

It was a Christmas show and they were one of many bands playing. While they were on, I sat in the concession area and had a beer. A friend spotted me and asked why I wasn't inside. I said, "Because if anyone even THOUGHT I was a Duran Duran fan, I'd just die!"

As for being more musically adept than The Beatles--hardly.

5. You're probably not the only one...

...but youd be wrong if you did. Duran Duran were a hugely influencial band (especially in the development of the music video). Went to see them last summer - terrific show.

Duran Duran rock!

[Kamika]

6. I like them

I have only heard some songs but they are cool, if I had been aware of music in the 80s(I was really really young back then) I would have been a duran duran freak.

Songs I like(and ever heard) are

View to a kill

Rio (this one is really good)

Hungry like a wolf

Is there something I should know


Other bands I like from the 80s

New Order
U2
Simple Minds
Tears for Fears
Tina Turner
Michael Jackson
Tracy Chapman
Laura Branigan


"her name is Rio and she dances on the sand..."

7. I love 80s music but that's because I grew up with it. Not because I think

it is better than any other time period's music. Well, except for NOW, maybe.

Please somebody shoot Britny and the rest of her ilk.

[supernova]

8. I like Duran Duran and

Echo and the Bunnymen. So flame away! :P

[BeatleBoot]

9. I'm a huge EATB fan, but

DD just never did it for me.

Too pretty of a marketing package for my taste.

[supernova]

12. I judge the music quality

not the packaging (or lack thereof)

DD wrote some very worthwhile songs, esp.

Come Undone

The Reflex

Girls on Film

New Moon on Monday

[BeatleBoot]

14. Good Point

And those are some good songs you mention.

Just my own taste, I guess.

Rock on...

[jimbo fett]

10. ABC rules. Martin Fry is still producing great music.

Buy the latest album "Skyscraping." It is fantastic.

[INTELBYTES]

11. Your just so wrong!!

The beatles will never stand up against Duran Duran. Look how many hits Duran Duran has. Your barking up the wrong tree their little mister!

[jimbo fett]

13. Am I the only one who thinks "Intelsucks" isn't "all that"????

Wait, I think I hear "Frampton Comes Alive" wafting over from your cubicle. ;-)

[supernova]

15. Oooh,

them there's fightin' words. :P

[INTELBYTES]

17. Amen to that 7blades!!

He hasn't learned to "Let it be....Let it be...".

[Nevernose]

16. Their covers of "Perfect Day" and "Crystal Ship"

...were actually pretty good.
