1. Love 'em
Edited on Wed May-26-04 07:16 PM by supernova
One of the best things about the 80s. :D

edit: I'm still mad at NightTrain for putting "The Reflex" on his Worst Songs list. x( :grr:

6. And I'm still mad at you for
putting "The Reflex" into my mind, to play in heavy rotation. :P

14. Duran Duran rocks. Nearly all of their songs kick ass. BUT...
I'll have to agree with NightTrain on "The Reflex". That I-I-I-I-I is ugly and stupid.

22. Disagree. Bad Duran Duran would be
Rio. Man that song is just too insane and in a minor key. x(

28. Nah, that one is just silly.
I stick to my opinion that "The Reflex" is their only BAD song.

9. Love em, here's my favorite
"Ordinary World"

Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence
Once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops
Run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside
Tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news
Of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrow
It's all gone away

And I don't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Every one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world, I will learn to survive
Any one
Is my world
Every one
Is my world

18. Loved it 20 years ago
When they were at they're peak. For some reason, I remember liking "Rio". (But I was only 12, so that was my excuse.) A few years later, I remember massively mocking them. Overall though, they weren't THAT terrible, but not exactly that great either. :shrug:
