Duran Duran Rolling Stones cover 1984

Maybe you’re like “Uhhhh wtf?” or maybe you’re like “Uhhhh sweet” when you think of Duran Duran but I’m more like later. Every now and then like here and here I like to throw in older stuff on this site. Sometimes all the new “indie” and rock music gets a little too much so it’s always good to look back. Duran Duran had their fill in the 80′s and then the early 90′s when I started listening to them. The band was first somewhat of a band in 1978 and officially formed in 1981. Songs like “Hungry Like a Wolf,” “Girls on Film,” “The Reflex,” “Ordinary World,” and a slew of topped the both the U.K and U.S charts. One of my favorite songs in my of all time category is definitely “Come Undone.” Honestly my friends and I used to listen to that song everyday on repeat. It was the song when I was like eleventeen years old.

In reality there is nothing I could write about Duran Duran that you can’t find out for yourself. They are one of those bands that hit the 80′s synth pop scene hard and fast and rode it into the 90′s. I actually decided to write this post cause I heard they are going to release an album this year. Sure enough after consulting the book of knowledge it looks like they will be releasing one in /around May. I’m a wee bit tickled by this but honestly I think it’s gonna be tough to be good. They aren’t Depeche Mode who continues to release good albums all the way up until 2006. I guess only time will tell.

Anyways, here’s a couple radio favorites. Go ahead and enjoy the 80′s again for a minute or two.
